A glitch is similar in that it is a failure in a minor key, a moment of slippage when the code or the machine blunders and produces an unintended, random output.

While we know that our imaginations shape our sociocultural experience through the creation of worlds, modernity thrives by throwing tight constraints around it, degenerating our ability and capacity to imagine radically new futures into being. This ontological war against possibility is ‘defuturing’ — there are less futures available to us; or put... See more

the Great Resignation has inspired a generation of workers to speak critically --- and cynically --- about the role of labor in their lives.

These jagged, restless feelings aren’t just mine — they’re the growing pains of something bigger, the friction of an old world giving way to something new. And I don’t think the weight of all that is something we’re supposed to eliminate. I think it’s something we’re supposed to bear, to hold, and to transform.

There is a secret formula hidden deep in nature’s intelligence, which catalyzed each of life’s great evolutionary leaps over billions of years and forms the basis of all ecosystems. It’s captured in the simple but profound concept of mutually beneficial symbiosis: a relationship between two parties to which each contributes something the other... See more
