I finished off Week 3 of the Digital Capitalism online course.
- This week the topic was Digital colonialism.
- With mostly a focus on Data colonialism.
- In that focus on data I feel perhaps it omits some other colonial practices - such as in mining, manufacture and disposal related to ICT.
- Still - good stuff.
Started listening to the masterclass for week 4, on the digital trade agenda.
- The point about why corporations love trade deals is really enlightening - easy way for them to bypass democratic discussion; lobby to get their way; once a trade deal is made, it's very hard to change.
Learning about ecology on Kinnu, I realise that it's a great source of ideas for thinking in systems.
- It's the ultimate system, basically.
- I think The Systems View of Life would be about this to some degree.
