While it’s possible the cycle of domination/freedom will accelerate, we’ll still find ourselves locked in a pattern/mindset/platform 80% of the time. Why? Because to get through chaos and live with fear we create narratives that give us order and hope. And it’s the arbitrage of those narratives that our landlords use to comfort and enslave us.

In other words: it’s not whether Haque’s view will triumph. It’s how long it can give us courage before we need something else to get us through the night.

shit the Web is getting smaller.

Why? Well the big media started to buy up the small media. And then, over time, the Web that i used to see as democratic, started to reflect the corporate structure of NA.

Again, with social platforms we were getting back to the inherent dispersion of power. And then as more companies purchase the platforms it swings back again.

However, let me say Mark, I think the power of the Internet has always been that whenever it comes up against an obstacle, it inherently goes around it. This ebb and flow is the ray of hope that says in my mind, that Haque’s world view may triumph in the end.

It’s not that corporations may not continue to try to put individual and shareholder at the centre of the value exchange, but how long that strategy is able to sustain them as an entity may continue to shorten.

As for no more fear posts – you always scare me so not sure that’s possible

You have mojo to steal, and I will be reading your posts on the regular; however, I will hold you to your next post not including fear as a central point. What have you been reading, watching or living that has engendered so much passion for the business horrific?
