The Crank Cycle
The Crank Cycle: the occult circuit by which opinion-based ‘journalism’ seeds actual public opinion, and then exploits the echo effect by reporting the manufactured ‘evidence’ as support for its initial unfounded claim. The strange thing here is that they are … Continue reading
Institutional Obsolescence
Nice talk from Clay Shirky on institutions as normative sutures – organizational systems that coordinate based on a plan, or a set of goals in which the first goal is the persistence of the system itself – and the challenge … Continue reading
Whose Market?
Which of these does not belong? One of the great distortions operative in popular discourse is the notion that capitalism is a market economy. It is not. A market operates on the basis of massive competition amongst merchants, and a … Continue reading

Zizek Responds to Kirsch (Updated)
Zizek opens this recent lecture by discussing Kirsch’s previously mentioned attack in the New Republic. It’s a somewhat oblique response, segueing into a discussion of fascism/fundamentalism as a symptom of the liberal order’s foreclosure of radical leftist politics. Nonetheless, it … Continue reading

“I’m an anarchist. Power to the people!”
There is a truth to the cliche, popular amongst centrist politicians in these woeful economic times, that economic stability and ecological health are elements of national security. McCain said it, Obama said it, even Bush started leaning in this direction … Continue reading
