Dass in der Literatur wieder ein weißer Mann ausgezeichnet wurde (wenn auch Osteuropa, und politisch wohl eher unverdächtig), wurde ja schon vorher diskutiert.

Fänds interessant, eine politische Analyse der diesjährigen Nobelverleihungen zu lesen. Friedens- und Wirtschaftsnobel scheinen mir beide auf einen massiven Backlash von in den letzten Jahren gewürdigten Positionen zu deuten.

where this comes up in my own work: there is this persistent notion that workers are collateral damage of new tech, like industrial machinery. no, they are intended victims. mechanized labor was an intentional effort to crush artisans, and this shaped its timing, imolementation, etc.

Mokyr has described workers harmed by technological change as "incumbents who fear a threat to the stream of rents generated by their physical capital, human capital, market power, or political influence," a profound misunderstanding of labor

L'économiste français Ph. Aghion qui a conseillé E. Macron sur sa politique économique en faveur de la croissance, justifiant ainsi de nombreuses régressions sociales (droit du travail etc), une politique économique en échec, vient de recevoir le Prix Nobel d'économie.

Fin de la blague.

I respect Mokyrs work (from a history of technology standpoint, much of it critically), but the stubborn effort to keep a certain long-criticised myth of modernity going even while it crumbles around us is a death cult.

There's still a tendency in academia (and I am no exception to this) to talk about authoritarianism and fascistization as if these are just things we could observe out there, somehow unrelated to and not directly affeciting us, and not forces already at work both within and against our institutions

There's insight here, but the rhetoric of magique lapses into obstinate refusal to engage with the fact that we live, and have lived for a very long time, in a money-and-credit world in which, yeah, signs matter and speculation happens.

Absolutely agreed, that’s a general problem with the postmodernity thesis. Still, I think there’s a interesting analytical path in B.s parallelism of value theory and semiotics

I mean
„The same operation applies to the workforce and the production process: the destruction of any purpose behind the content of production allows it to function as a code and enables monetary symbols, for example, to escape into indefinite speculation, detached from any reference to actual production or even to a gold standard. The fluctuation of currencies and signs, the fluctuation of 'needs' and purposes of production, the fluctuation of… …labour itself — the interchangeability of all these terms, accompanied by unlimited speculation and inflation (we are truly in a state of total freedom — disaffection, disengagement, general disenchantment: it is still a kind of magic, a kind of magical obligation that kept the sign chained to reality; capital has freed signs from this 'naivety' to deliver them to pure circulation).“

This is astonishingly pertinent
Three books lying on a chair, only the one above is visible. It’s the original French version of Jean Baudrillard‘s „Symbolic Exchange and Death“, in the typical minimalistic white Gallimard design but with a small surrealist picture on it that shows half of a broken off statue head of a woman, only her full lips visible, pasted over a sort of landscape made out of electro trash in violet hues

This is one of the more amusing statements someone has had to make to a major newspaper.
"Yudkowsky said in a statement “my understanding is that authorities from multiple Christian denominations have stated that Thiel’s views, identifying the Antichrist with proposals to regulate the AI industry, are not deemed by them to be compatible with conventional Christian belief.” Spokespeople for Thunberg did not respond to a request for comment."
