rigor samsa

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. a kind of psychological exoskeleton that can protect you from pain and contain your anxieties, but always ends up cracking under pressure or hollowed out by time—and will keep growing back again and again, until you develop a more sophisticated emotional structure, held up by a strong and flexible spine, built less like a fortress than a cluster of treehouses.

The difference is this: a market economy is a valuable and effective tool for organising productive activity. But a market society is a place where everything is up for sale. It’s a way of life in which market values reach into every domain, from family life and personal relations to health, education, criminal justice, military service and civic life. That’s my worry. Market thinking has a hold on the public imagination because markets seem to be a neutral way of deciding ethically fraught questions in public life. But that’s a spurious appeal, I don’t think markets truly are neutral ways of deciding contested questions in public life that involve conflicted values. Michel Sandel

Morozov, Graeber’s “diversity of tactics”, and Technological Justice

“We’re so far down the rabbit hole that we are doing monumentally terrible acts to both ourselves and the ecosystems that support us, all in the name of technology, progress, economic growth, and a reasonable rate of return. That’s why I’m unwilling to join in the choruses of ‘Morozov is unhinged,’ and ‘Morozov is mentally ill,’ or whatever – at least he’s doing something and not even in a particularly violent way (except in a more abstract, verbally abusive way). He’s still working, I believe, for technological justice and I still think he’s trying to do good.”

David Foster Wallace - This is Water

| May 11, 2013
I am a frayed and nibbled survivor in a fallen world, and I am getting along. I am aging and eaten and have done my share of eating too. I am not washed and beautiful, in control of a shining world in which everything fits, but instead am wandering awed about on a splintered wreck I’ve come to care for, whose gnawed trees breathe a delicate air, whose bloodied and scarred creatures are my dearest companions, and whose beauty beats and shines not in its imperfections but overwhelmingly in spite of them, under the wind-rent clouds, upstream and down.

Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
