Eric Weinstein wants to take back MIT

Eric Weinstein on taking back institutions. I think he is a bit naive on this topic but I love his attitude and language in this segment.

The Age of Suveillence Capitalism

I wish I had time for a lengthy review with quoted excerpts because this book deserves one. I have great respect for the way Zuboff wrote this and she did not need to explain-I wish she would have written this more apologetically. I loved the poetry and autobiographical passages and would have preferred much more of them.

It is a difficult book to read and took me far longer than I expected but she is trying to invent a new vocabulary and search out ways to explain the unprecedented so it is entirely understandable.

Zuboff has enshrined democracy and bought entirely into it's self-congratulatory myths and interpretation of itself as the savior of history.

There are two texts that seem to be missing from her discussion: Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars and especially Industrial Society and it's Future.

Her biases are unfortunate, but instincts are largely correct and for me, I think this is the critical thing. Ultimately, I am on her side on this.
