Me when my former students ask about grad school

To be clear I don't think scholarship or learning are scams, but academia as it is now - depending on abusive labor practices in the name of what?
That's a scam

It's a meme of a person in a crowd holding up a cardboard sign. They are wearing sunglasses. I wrote 'academia is a scam' on the cardboard

they provide an institutional affiliation for when that is useful, a community to do scholarly things with others (talks and writing time), and grant management (with a lower overhead than a traditional institution). The way they're organised also interests me with a minimal hierarchy and some structures to encourage self organisation.

@danwchan
Thanks so much for sharing!

I took a look at the webpage and it definitely seems like one of these things that goes into my bottomless pit of "it would be so cool to be involved in this, but".

The good part is, from time to time one can actually dive into one's pit and do one of the things.

@agaitaarino happy to share! At it's baseline ronin just requires an application, orientation, and a yearly renewal. After that initial barrier, participation in their systems is whatever you make of it. I'm still feeling out how I want to participate with the organisation but let me know if you have any questions. More ronin scholars may begin showing up here someday, i just connected with @emonosson here a couple days ago

omg so cool to hear that this work has progressed. I remember talking about it with @Defectivebrayne on #microtwjc so many years ago. Those discussions were one of the moments that really brought me closer with the wider academic community and showed me the value of the birbsite and online conversation. Plus i'm just tickled with the idea of resurrecting old medicine.

If you don’t know what I mean when I say “surveillance capitalism” or “people farming”, here’s a quick overview I did for the BBC a little while ago:

bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/surveil…

(Where we differ with Shoshana, who coined the former term, is that she sees it as a corruption of capitalism, whereas I see it as the natural evolution of capitalism in the digital network age.)

"16. Safety is a characteristic of systems and not of their components

Safety is an emergent property of systems; it does not reside in a person, device or department of an organization or system. Safety cannot be purchased or manufactured; it is not a feature that is separate from the other components of the system. This means that safety cannot be manipulated like a feedstock or raw material."

We went for a drive and brunch in the Yarra Valley region of Victoria. This is where all the wineries grow their grapes. It's also where many people have their weddings. I found a place that had outdoor dining, which had not been open for some time because of the flooding. It was a lovely day, but most people were inside having wedding meals. We didn't have to book for the outdoor area. We sat next to a frog pond where the froggies were all singing away, and we had all these stunning views. The food was excellent!
