@drvandanashiva end/ Once we perceive authoritarian trends within a fuller, constitutive, evolutionary context (that is, in archetypal terms, defining the meaning of reality itself) their full-blown expression obviously invites and enables epistemic demolition by the force of truth itself.

Copy of tweet thread: “We are in an existential battle for truth in the digital domain.” Indeed, why would it not be our primary epistemological battleground? As in the parable of wheat and tares, algorithmic injustice, post-truth politics, fake news, etc. are intermingled & concomitant with truth until 'apocalypsis', the moment of vision and decision, is reached.

Quoted by@johnrobb 2/ But what if the very same computer-mediated reality and force now being wantonly employed by global authoritarianism to slay entire social networks and populations and their dependent structures of consciousness and power, isn't as much a peerless as peer-to-peer capability?Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @pauljpastor Well-noted, Paul. Evil, it is. And whereas it bears noting that the *monetization* of our attention span is, at this juncture, barely distinguishable from its *weaponization*, the 'powers of the air' have, correspondingly, never before represented such a choice, ready target.Quoted by@pauljpastor Well-noted, Paul.
