Driving Vlog – Talking Heads vs The Productive Class

On April 4, 2019April 4, 2019 By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Current Events, Politics, Social Commentary, Uncategorized, VlogLeave a comment

This was super impromptu so I’ll definitely have to revisit it.

I hear these talking points all the time. All this stuff about bootstrapping and class envy. Some of it makes sense but most of it is just hot air. Join me on my morning commute as I take a caffeinated crack at the issues.

Their Product? | Who owns the Internet?

The internet is not a trendy cafe and you are not the Grand Barista.

Technology is a cumulative collaborative process. Ideas form all round the world, needs arise, and information converges – pens are made with ball points! And internets!

So at the end of this millenia long cycle whose product is it? Sundar’s, Dorsey’s? Is it a product at all?

Lesedi (Song, Poem, and Rivertime)

On March 20, 2019 By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, poems, The Fractal Journal, Uncategorized, VlogLeave a comment

Lesedi is a Sesotho (South African Tribe) name that means light. I thought it sounded really nice. Like Ubuntu.

Time is everpresent
Hear now here now
Hear now here now
Hear the time
Listen and youll realize in no time
That there is no time

Note I’m

Sitting here
Sitting there
Sitting everywhere

O Silent Air

Leave Leaves Leaving Leading
Living Light
Leave Leaves Leaving Leading
Laughing Light

Take Give

Frontier Fiction ETC

Frontiers seem to be dwindling. Which may be one of the reasons for some of the ennui that we see. I present some thoughts on the remaining frontiers and how they’re more accessible than we might imagine.

No ideology is a panacea.

A very early morning vlog about the limits of capitalism and the creeping effect that the dark side of profit motive has on science and the humanities.

Fractal Briefs | Environmental Constitution?

On January 26, 2019 By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Current Events, Environment, Philosophy, Psychology, The Fractal Journal, Uncategorized, VlogLeave a comment

I meander a bit round the issue of effective environmentalism. Should we have something like an environmental constitution?

The music is free domain as far as I know. It came from The Internet Archive and is mostly if not entirely by a guy named McLeod. AFAIK etc…
