Lori Emersonyou wouldn't think that a book called "Cybernetics and Management" would be so revelatory but really, Stafford Beer already knew in 1959 where it was at with so-called artificial brains! "Allied with new forms of energy, cybernetics is emergent to a new vision of society. In all this, it is specifically learning from biological systems, and trying to emulate their key features. Thus the measure of the importance of cybernetics is the backwardness of society’s present outlook on control, not the imagined ability of the science to build a super-brain." <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/cybernetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cybernetics</a>

transform-socialI wrote down some reflections on the complex anarchism symposium I attended in May and the talk I gave there about anarcho-communist economics. The text covers discussions around the question of which concepts and tools should be discarded as too central or too dominant in the anarchist context and which structures and tools are required to adequately handle complex systems in a non-hierarchical way.<a href="https://transform-social.org/en/texts/complexity/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://transform-social.org/en/texts/complexity/</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Anarchism</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Economics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ComplexSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ComplexSystems</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Cybernetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cybernetics</a>
