I write things that passes through my head, and rent about my life

What if the most dangerous idea of the 21st century is not artificial intelligence, but the enterprise that tells you, "you are an algorithm"? Anti‑Harari begins by dismantling one of the most dazzling narratives of the tech age: the "inevitability" of Dataism. This narrative, circulated under the guise of popular science, is in fact a new theology of power. Just as medieval feudal power was legitimised through divine order, so too is today's algorithmic order legitimised through scholastic dogmas. The reason is the same: to make power permanent. That is why discourse must be as sharp as a sword - and why "new stories" are always needed. This book targets three fundamental dogmas: the reduction of the human to an algorithm, the denial of the will, and the absolutisation of data. It also lays bare the political economy behind them. The author does not leave the discussion in abstract philosophy. He descends to the body - the primary source of the paradigm he calls Somatic Materialism. He maps a somatic terrain stretching from the nervous system to the gut, from microorganisms to connective tissue. This map reveals: the human being is not a closed computational system; we are an open, vibrating, unpredictable ecosystem. For this reason, the issue is not merely intellectual. It is a matter of a new property regime being imposed under the name of "inevitability." It is a matter of sovereignty and production relations taking on a new form through algorithmic instruments. It is a matter of the body becoming a new colonial territory. Anti‑Harari is not against technology. But it is against technology being presented as a destiny independent of power relations. Because behind what is presented as destiny, there is always a design. A spectre is haunting the algorithm. The spectre is the body.

A book of shots dedicated to Percabeth. The shots vary in length but I always put up a separator to avoid confusion. Instances from the life of our favorite couple that range from hilarious to heart warming to sad. A similar book of one shots: 'Memories' by me can be accessed from my profile. The timing of the stories are random, but there may be spoilers. So do finish reading Uncle Rick's books before reading these. Characters owned by Rick Riordan. I'm just renting them for virtual blue cookies. Anybody? -Andie

After abortion and birth control were banned, the United States of America suffered from rampant over-population. The government tried various methods to fix the problem. They attempted a one-child policy, but this was not enough--cities were running out of space, and the country was running out of resources. Finally, when food shortages and crowding threatened to bring the country down, the government came up with a solution. Only the brightest, healthiest, and morally upright people would be allowed to have children; these people would be fostered in a sheltered compound, safe from the outside world. These children would be raised to be God's salvation for the country. All others would be made infertile at age 10. In only a generation, America would rise up renewed and better than ever. These are four vignettes written in response to Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.
