Re: <nettime> nettime-l Digest, Vol 8, Issue 14


There's also an organized kind of intimidation, practiced and taught at
university, where how 'timid' you should be before choosing a topic or
making a statement is mapped exactly to the hierarchy - and only people
high up in the pile are allowed to do anything except work that resembles a
very small sub-entry in some giant imaginary encyclopedia (with titles
like, ' Determination of ignition temperature of municipal solid waste for
understanding surface and sub-surface landfill fire', and so on).

Then, there's the experience of logging on to some well-established forum
or network, being the 'FNG', and getting some kind of hazing, as a sort of
expression of innate conservatism baked into a really hard, irradiated form
by the unforgiving waves of online trolling.

I guess the last kind of intimidation is a sort of machine-intimidation,
where you get relentlessly blocked and banned from whatever platform you
are on, because you're in a statistical blob on the billion-dimensional
plot of user profiles that happens to give the hegemonic politics
coniptions.

I think I like the first two more than the last.
