One of the first times we met I noticed a book on your table: “The Prince” by Machiavelli. What have you learned about power in 10 years of WikiLeaks?

“My conclusion is that most power structures are deeply incompetent, staffed by people who don’t really believe in their institutions and that most power is the projection of the perception of power. And the more secretively it works, the more incompetent it is, because secrecy breeds incompetence, while openness breeds competence, because one can see and can compare actions and see which one is more competent. To keep up these appearances, institutional heads or political heads such as presidents spend most of the time trying to walk in front of the train and pretending that it is following them, but the direction is set by the tracks and by the engine of the train. Understanding that means that small and committed organisations can outmanoeuvre these institutional dinosaurs, like the State Department, the NSA or the CIA”.

Mais bon. L’internet se voulait distribué: les canaux IRC et les blogues indépendants représentent à mes yeux l’age d’or de ce distributivisme numériques. Mais aujourd’hui je produis bien plus de contenu sur des plateformes extractives comme Facebook et Twitter que sur mon blogue. La volonté et les efforts pour ne pas sombrer dans le confort des cages dorées de plateformes à tendance monopolistique est loin d’être évident et bien des tentatives ont été faites. L’ensemble de solutions proposées par Rushkoff, reponsant sur une approche distributiviste nécessiteront une prise de conscience de fond et un effort qui semblent difficiles à obtenir dans les conditions actuelles.

When the Trump thing began to rise up at the start of this year, all these journalists, big butch journalists like New York Times reporters were saying, “We’re going to expose all his corruption and how he bribed and neutered the state with his father”. And they printed it all. And it had no effect. Zero. So, that shows that journalism has changed in how most people perceive it. In the old days it would be like, “Oh my God, have you seem that? He’s a criminal. You can’t vote for him.” But now it’s all – oh, it’s the mainstream media who are saying that. If someone like Trump comes along and just lies all the time – allegedly – and a journalist says he’s lying and no-one bothers, and his popularity goes up, I’d say that journalism has lost of its main foundation.

“C’est un format raisonnable pour un ex-président, mais absolument incompatible avec la fonction présidentielle qui présuppose omission, mensonge et comédie.”

Peut-être faut-il s’interroger sur la fonction présidentielle, son rôle, ses attributions.

Car si bonne politique se fait sur des présupposés d’omission, de mensonge et de comédie…

Marina Castaneda commente : « Nous pouvons observer ici un phénomène assez courant, qui est la disqualification de l’amour chez les homosexuels : ce qu’ils vivent, ce n’est pas de l’amour, mais une combinaison plus ou moins superficielle, plus ou moins satisfaisante, de sexe et d’amitié. Alors, quand l’homosexuel dit qu’il est amoureux, le thérapeute entend dépendance ou exagération névrotique. Nous pourrions peut-être parler d’une prétention au monopole de l’amour de la part des hétérosexuels, où le seul attachement authentique est celui qui existe entre un homme et une femme : pour eux, ce que peuvent sentir deux personnes du même sexe n’est qu’un pâle reflet de l’amour véritable. »

“Ce que cette polémique autour du burkini révèle de l’état de la société française est terrifiant. Intransigeance et perversion de nos valeurs. Intolérance et fantasmes nourris par des peurs respectables attisées par des médias plus à la recherche d’émotionnel et de compassionnel que d’information. Vous rappelez le droit et vous êtes immédiatement collabo-islamique payé par les lobbies saoudiens. Vous vous opposez au burkini et vous êtes islamophobe et raciste. Et là encore, “les choses entraînent les choses, le bidule crée le bidule”. »

“In addition to determining longevity, the scientists wanted to determine the age at which Greenland sharks begin to reproduce. Through analysis of sharks that did not exhibit the “bomb pulse” radiocarbon indicator, the team determined that the reproductive age of the sharks was at least 156 ± 22 years, based on other results that indicated females only start reproducing once they reach four meters in length.”

“Twenty-five years ago artists Catherine King and Wayne Adams made the realization they would never have enough income to afford real estate so they made a fairly radical decision: they would build an island. Currently moored off the coast of Vancouver Island about 45 minutes by boat to the nearest town, their sprawling floating house is called Freedom Cove.”

Trash Journalism at the Daily Shit.

Today, The Daily Beast took an unprecedented but necessary step: We are removing an article from our site, “The Other Olympic Sport In Rio: Swiping.”

The Daily Beast does not do this lightly. As shared in our editor’s note earlier today, we initially thought swift removal of any identifying characteristics and better clarification of our intent was the adequate way to address this. Our initial reaction was that the entire removal of the piece was not necessary. We were wrong. We’re sorry.

Today we did not uphold a deep set of The Daily Beast’s values. These values—which include standing up to bullies and bigots, and specifically being a proudly, steadfastly supportive voice for LGBT people all over the world—are core to our commitment to journalism and to our commitment to serving our readers.

As a newsroom, we succeed together and we fail together, and this was a failure on The Daily Beast as a whole, not a single individual. The article was not intended to do harm or degrade members of the LGBT community, but intent doesn’t matter, impact does. Our hope is that removing an article that is in conflict with both our values and what we aspire to as journalists will demonstrate how seriously we take our error.

We were wrong. We will do better.
