Here's my second piece of the weekend. It's a #COVID update for @truthout that unpacks the cycle of public manipulation in which many of our more established epidemiologists are partaking. truthout.org/articles/expert… 1/

Helene's blackouts are underscoring industry efforts to turn over the power grid to AI. It's more than a money grab. It's a power grab (in both senses). And an exercise in expedient mimesis one also finds in the COVID response. My latest Patreon. patreon.com/posts/power-loss… 1/

Farming and Event Addendum 2. I continue to follow up on responses to the first F&E series b/c situating the work will help us all: patreon.com/posts/110530873 Of what use is this philosophical work? Does it detract from the political work new agricultures require or supplement it?

Farming and Event Addendum. I took comments on the F&E series to heart. I'll write an easier-to-read piece for the public another day, but I took a whack at summarizing the series here, including how we got started, where we're going, and why. patreon.com/posts/110428705 1/n

Farming and Event 10. Here's the last post in my first series on Alain Badiou's "Being and Event," with a focus on how his work may apply to agriculture and public health. patreon.com/posts/110222608 We finish this round with Badiou bouncing his mathematical ontology off Spinoza. 1/n

Farming and Event 8. In this penultimate post of our first crack at Alain Badiou's "Being and Event", we follow his efforts to apply his set theory ontology to politics and the State. 1/n patreon.com/posts/farming-an…

Farming and Event 7. We continue with Alain Badiou's mathematical ontology, particularly the relationship between the presentable and the void. And how might these help us newly categorize farms, on the one hand, and public health, on the other? 1/n patreon.com/posts/110093981

Farming and Event 6. We continue into the guts of Alain Badiou's mathmatical ontology as it relates to ag and public health. Maurice Godelier, to whom we refer in the post, pictured here. 1/n patreon.com/posts/109999811

Farming and Event 5. We continue with Alain Badiou's mathematical ontology as it relates to ag. patreon.com/posts/109909395 Here we unpack how his set theory differentiates "inclusion" and "belonging" and a food system led by Big Ag and one run bottom-up by local farming communities.
