So apparently Elon Musk is planning to have Grok create a "historically accurate version of the Odyssey."
The very idea of a "historically accurate" Odyssey is something so stupid I'd fully expect someone like him to come up with it. It's an epic created in a Greece just emerging from a Dark Age, involving an imagining of semi-legendary events centuries earlier preserved only in oral tradition. It had only a core of actual events, garbled in transmission, and may have been altered significantly by the redactors when put into its current form under Pisistratus. And it was not intended to be a naturalistic depiction of events -- the dialog was deliberately stylized and archaic.
What Musk proposes is as dumb as creating a "historically accurate" version of the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Torah. Only the kind of marble statue avi RETVRN dipshit, who gets his ideas of "historical accuracy" from following Ian Miles Cheong, would have such a conception of "historical accuracy" in the first place.

"The street finds its own uses" is a statement about technopolitics. It acknowledges that yes, there are politics embedded in our technology, the blood in the machine, but these politics are neither simple, nor are they immutable. The fact that a technology was born in sin does not preclude it from being put to virtuous ends. A technology's politics are up for grabs.
In other words, it's the opposite of Audre Lorde's "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house."

2026-03-10 16:33:31 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…f4r9 Seriously? My whole long post was a critique of the logic behind "the mafia's blood money," which treats money and credit as things with independent value as commodities, and restricts their issue to those in possession of wealth. The idea of a common unit of account that workers could use to track the flow of advances of goods between themselves, without having to ask someone with wealth to "lend" or "advance" it to them, is a remedy to capitalist money.
The very fact that today money is "the factory owner's" and workers depend on capitalist investors is owing to the idea of money as something that's stockpiled, and not a system for measuring flows like inches and pounds.
And for century medieval villages that possessed no specie currency in circulation maintained a system of running open tabs for tracking their balances with each other, using a unit of account based on the denominations of Charlemagne's currency centuries earlier -- despite that fact that none of them had seen a pound or shilling coin in their lives. And they did it with no soldiers at their backs -- if anything, it was the rise of modern capitalist banking that suppressed these self-organized systems. But Charlemagne's denominations were just seized on as something handy -- the particular unit was beside the point. They could have simply chosen the word "unit" or anything else, in order to have a ready quantitative unit by which makers of shoes, barrels, or whatever, could set the value of their goods in terms of other goods.
Do you think people are unable to weigh meat, or measure lumber in feet, without a soldier at their backs forcing them to agree on a standard unit?

2026-03-09 23:45:46 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…f4r9 You can't carry on complex industrial production with in-kind calculations. There needs to be some common quantitative unit. And the whole point is that in a system that doesn't require possession of reserves, and doesn't treat credit as "lending" against such past reserves, there's nothing to accumulate. Just ongoing balances. And if you think I'm talking about a system backed up by debt collectors and soldiers, you really need to question how you managed to infer that.

2026-03-09 14:42:10 UTC

@nprofile…2a5y @nprofile…asjv I don't disagree with any of that. Capital is able to function as a power locus because of its legal claims to property, but we've got an economic system and legitimizing ideology that disguises power behind "neutral" rules like property and contract.

2026-03-09 14:38:58 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…wr6v @nprofile…dy88 I don't think there's any one "the" capitalist argument, but the "contribution" of capital to production, and its entitlement to a reward for that contribution, is definitely one of the most common ones.
And I think the argument that capital discovers new efficiencies is reaching the end of its validity -- whatever validity it may have had. Even a century ago, capital was arguably organizing production along lines that were most "efficient" in terms of extracting a surplus, rather than making the most efficient use of the potentialities of Second Industrial Revolution technologies in the sense of material output per unit of material input. In many ways, large scale and hierarchy were chosen despite creating all the inefficiencies Mumford and Borsodi described back then in their critiques of mass production, and Piore and Sabel's more recent The Second Industrial Divide.
And more recently, we've reached the point at which, thanks to the enormous surplus of capital that's uninvestable in anything productive, "profit accounting" just leads to asset-stripping and enshittification. In fact GAAP accounting principles actually incentivize inefficiencies like stripping human capital while counting increased overhead from irrational physical capital expenditures as a source of value.
OTOH, workers arguably possess more of the distributed knowledge of where efficiencies can actually be achieved, and they have some incentive to increase the efficiency of their own labor if they fully internalize the income from their own enterprise. So there's at least some incentive there to increase productivity.

@nprofile…54xq My inclination is to say that, going back to the time of the agricultural revolution, most land in most places was viewed (in very broad, general terms) as ultimately a socially owned commons, with individual possessory rights with varying degrees of strength. The Israelite Jubilee, for example. And the western European open field system, the Russian Mir, and the so-called "Asiatic mode" are all recent survivals. In most cases private appropriation of land with fee simple title, as an alienable and marketable commodity, came about through forcible enclosure with the backing of political authorities.
So IMO the proper approach is to treat all fee-simple property, as such, as in some degree stolen, and then declare it all once again a socially owned commons, but also recognize strong possessory/stewardship rights of the current tenants/occupants in most cases unless some dispossessed party can be identified in recent generations.
That last acknowledgement of dispossessed parties is especially relevant in the case of slave plantation land and Indigenous land.

@nprofile…asjv I don't think complex industrial production can be coordinated via in-kind valuations. And even if they could, there would have to be some mechanism for coordinating the actions of a considerable number of people. A good amount of direct production for use could probably be carried out in the gardens and workshops of a primary social unit like a micro-village, but there would have to be some kind of quantitative accounting mechanism -- whether market pricing or something else -- for distributing producer goods and raw materials.

2026-03-07 22:46:31 UTC

The argument that capitalists are needed to provide workers with means of production, and profit is their reward for doing so, is nonsense.
All capitalists have are paper or digital claims on the right to allocate means of production or material resources. All of the actual material resources -- means of production and raw materials -- are entirely the product of labor acting on free gifts of nature.
The entire point at issue is the legitimacy of the process by which capitalists happen to be in possession of those paper or digital claims, and how workers come to be dependent on those claims. Why, instead of groups of workers simply acting on the free gifts of nature, advancing streams of material resources to one another, and using a simple unit of account to track the balance of these advances of material resources and who owes what to whom, do they have to go to someone who is in possession of stockpiles of these imaginary paper claims?
Why are capitalists able to interpose themselves between groups of workers, and create the illusion that they are "providing" something when they are in fact simply controlling a toll gate?
The problem is the myth that money is a "thing," some sort of commodity with an independent existence and value of its own, when in fact it is simply a unit of measurement like an inch or a pound. We have a money and credit system based on the myth that a certain class of people must accumulate a pile of paper claims and then "lend" credit "against" them -- a "service" for which they are entitled to payment. It's as nonsensical as the idea that, in order to cut lumber and build something, a carpenter must first find someone in possession of a pile of inches who can provide them.

Here's a copy of one of the deleted files, that contains the most damning accusations against Trump (and others). #Streisand

@nprofile…jk4m Most episodes of Roadrunner. Wile E. Coyote's plan usually fails because of some minor technical glitch that could be tweaked, or some error in execution that could be remedied in the next go-round, but instead he completely abandons the project and orders a new product from ACME.

Anyone have access to a pdf of this? Igor Shoikhedbrod, “Re-Hegelianizing Marx on Rights,” Hegel Bulletin 40, no. 2 (2019): 281–300.

"When an army is in retreat its highly vulnerable. It’s usually moving from one entrenched position to — hopefully — another. When it’s on the move it’s not well defended. It’s usually also moving under duress and operating under strained morale. If you’re the advancing army, it’s almost always best, if it is at all possible, to pursue and harry the retreating army as aggressively and as rapidly as possible."

@nprofile…8e95 No. He only posts about food at random intervals. But he frequently posts stuff about pasta e fagioli or pasta e ceci with south Asian spices, scorpion pepper, or the like.

@nprofile…8e95 That sounds like something that Pookleblinky guy on Bluesky would do -- making Italian pasta dishes with ghost peppers or SE Asian spices.

@nprofile…jk4m Little Bill from The Unforgiven and Top Dollar from The Crow. Whichever one was first to stab the other in the back would have some sardonic comment to make about it, and the other would chuckle along with them.

Anna's Archive has been shut down in some kind of legal action by India, but you can still access it at .pm and .in instead of .org.

@nprofile…2yeg "Doop doop doop" is a nice description. I like watching robins hop along the ground. (The little "English" indicator started flashing uncertainly when I was typing "doop doop doop.")

A Muppet Passion Play starring Dr. Bunsen as Pontius Pilate and Beaker as Jesus. Jesus just makes dismayed eeps through the entire trial, scourging and crucifixion.

@nprofile…d4mh The Heston (sadly) version of A Man For All Seasons. He hams it up considerably more, but it includes all the original Bolt play content the Scofield version left out.

@nprofile…d4mh Jesus, in the Gospels. He had some interesting things to say before he died, but since coming back he's caused mostly trouble.

@nprofile…v387 No, I mean the current system, where the supply of credit is limited to reserve owners, who can charge interest, is like a transaction tax.

That bullet didn't actually strike Charlie Kirk's neck. It snapped one of the guy-wires holding up his head.
