<nettime> possibly relevant, possibly not



Hi all,

This relates to some things I tried to talk about last month, but failed badly.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattperez/2020/07/28/mystery-umbrella-man-vandal-from-minnesota-police-say-hes-a-white-supremacist-instigator/#62fdeddb48ee

Agent provocateurship does seem to have caught on from the federal side too, in continuing escalation.

The former head of DARPA is now proposing a "Health Age" to succeed the digital. Maybe health applies to multiple spheres such as climate, green, economics, media, culture, and so forth? It might need to work a bit like immunology, i.e. making strategic moves to balance the resurgent virality of fear, ethnonationalism, hate, and so forth, without killing the patient. Network culture would seem to have a role in that type of system adaptation, the anti-viral as well as its opposite.

All best hopes and wishes,

Max
