Raw LLM Responses

Even this small audience via the Alexander von Humboldt Institut for internet and society is growing faster than interest in Zuboff's own homelands of the polarized if not atomized United States of Amnesia (kudos to Gore Vidal for such lively reminders during his lifetime of appearances and very currently relevant books and essays. Our penchant for being a polis prone to a mass media system designed not only as Pay2Play and in service to PRIVATE INTERESTS rather than privileging any perceived PUBLIC INTEREST, but we are as a body politic physically prone to the same sort of self-interested Oligarchs as we now point our fingers and claim are all Russian with their wealth management portfolios attended to in London. Wall Street has called the FINANCIALIZATION tune not only for the U.S. but much of what we refer to as the Western World, parallel to London's servicing of their regional Asian captive markets held by despots and Oiligarchies. The Pandemic has shown U.S. and the world how weak we really are despite our ever-growing and massive NATIONAL SECURITY (dba Big Daddy Warbucks) budget that is far from transparent or remotely accountable. If Public Health is not a crucial part of NATIONAL SECURITY why then we the U.S. of Amnesia are indeed the big bullies of the global food chain. The projection of power via our Big Daddy Warbucks's oligarchs at Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Generals in General the junior partners to Neo Tech Feudal lords of HI FInance and HI Tech, not to mention the medicating flows from Big Pharma's legal markets and those Weapons of Mass Distraction that lull U.S. from our screens and ear buds whether we are on our marketed or smuggled meds or not. https://people.defensenews.com/top-100/ https://breakingdefense.com/2022/03/us-expands-global-arms-export-gap-over-no-2-seller-russia-report/ The growth of interest from the universities on down through the chains of their nation-state owned PUBLIC INTEREST and EDUCATION broadcasting systems, our main global economic competitors are treating with vast curiosity and attentive respect Prof Zuboff's abundance of unique and insightful research into the issues creating the greatest institutional discomfort and social instability as we surrender more and more to Artificial Intelligence and a Pay2Play Security State in the service of corporations with their hierarchies of UNACCOUNTABLE OLIGARCHS (often referred to by global academics and scribes like Anand Girardharadas and Saskia Sassen as Neo Feudal Lords) rather than any PUBLIC INTEREST focused state institutions. The fact that Prof Zuboff only published The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power (2018) in hardback after her retirement from her prestigious if rarely News Media sourced position at Harvard Business School alerts attentive news media that she herself didn't expect her work to get even a chance at building a wider audience without her being available for the non-stop touring and globe-trotting to welcoming national Public Interest broadcast outlets often posted here to U. of Tube. In addition to the mainstream media attention and translation that Zuboff's work is getting even throughout Pandemic Lockdowns and Quarantine in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, UK, Denmark, Benelux and Baltic states, France, Spain, Portugal and with slightly larger and growing audiences for Prof Zuboff's book in translation and her virtual appearances especially in Scandinavia and Poland, with very large growth of interest among Slavic nation-states just before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the many appearances posted to the corporate platforms like U. of Tube (part of the Google dba Alphabet, Inc and Vimeo) we actually have a better and deeper perspective now on the bedrock issues that have concerned this engaged Social Psychologist at this crucial moment when global elites are beginning to discuss legislation to break up some of the Global Feudal Monopolies due to grass roots pressure and a wider base of Oligarchs who want cuts of the Global Pie too! See this early U.S. based anomalous Multi-Media Journalistic co-sponsored event that featured both Shoshana Zuboff and journalist turned academic conceptual interdisciplinary heavyweight Canadian Naomi Klein just before Pandemic shut the world of personal appearances down and this virtual PUBLIC FORUM or TOWN HALL MEETING actually arrived ahead of the curve of the move to on-line remote learning for our kids with a sample of such for U.S. so-called adults: https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/03/01/watch-naomi-klein-and-shoshana-zuboff-discuss-mounting-dangers-surveillance Both the non-profit Common Dreams news\views Public Affairs media site and publication and the journalistic organ of HI TECH oligarch Pierre Omidyar who has used his billions of dollars in personal income owns The Intercept, yet teamed up for this dynamic discussion of Zuboff kicking off her World Tour of Global Town Hall meetings in many tongues using her new book and today's most disturbing headline stories from the Neo-Liberal\Neo-Conservative Continuity of PRIVATIZED EXPANDING FRONTIERS OF NATIONAL SECURITY STATES (including Washington DC's Deep State or Shadow Government with its NSA SURVEILLANCE Scandals and massive pipelines of surveilled publics subject to data mining by the state and its private contractors) as catalysts for the discussions we NEED TO BE HAVING B4 ALL GAB WON'T BE POSSIBLE UNDER SPREADING FASCIST INROADS. Some of these fascist and authoritarian inroads into rule via Cults of Personality and their sheeple's popular vote. Some of these authoritarian CULT OF PERSONALITY mis-leaders coming to power via the very new paradigm and Political Economy bid-net model of SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM (search under Cambridge Analytica and the manipulation of laissez faire global media platform FACEBOOK dba META that pioneers Shoshana Zuboff and Naomi Klein have helped all of us, not just U.S. to absorb, conceptually perceive the conflict between unregulated bid-net models and conflicts of interest Political Economy of Oligarchs with some sentient stirrings in long forestalled response to such surrender of hard-won social evolutionary gains now as banal as critical masses of Institutional Corruption.
