Deprogramming
"The only hope for deprogramming and self-liberation was to subvert the methods of control and its various agencies, understand the tools used so that they could become weapons to turn back on the Control Machine itself." - William S. Burroughs

Today in "the fall of civilization": 🤡 "Mouse Jigglers", devices that generate random movement from your mouse so your work-from-home surveillance software thinks you're working.
🤡 Augmented-reality glasses put a smile on everyone's face...
🤡 Corona madness keeps escalating & getting exponentially more expensive to maintain
🤡 The collapse of legitimacy and end of authority continues at breathtaking speed

One Tesla Model S contains as much lithium as 10,000 mobile phones. To extract the 67 tons of copper in a single wind turbine, miners move 50,000 tons of earth and rock. (source)

Towards fungal computer - by Andrew Adamatzky
We propose that fungi Basidiomycetes can be used as computing devices: information is represented by spikes of electrical activity, a computation is implemented in a mycelium network and an interface is realized via fruit bodies. In a series of scoping experiments, we demonstrate that electrical activity recorded on fruits might act as a reliable indicator of the fungi’s response to thermal and chemical stimulation. A stimulation of a fruit is reflected in changes of electrical activity of other fruits of a cluster, i.e. there is distant information transfer between fungal fruit bodies. In an automaton model of a fungal computer, we show how to implement computation with fungi and demonstrate that a structure of logical functions computed is determined by mycelium geometry.
Academics are making 'intelligent buildings' with the help of fungi - The Centre for Unconventional Computing is using fungal colonies in surprising ways.
