Climate & Militarism Teach-In -- Session 4: Change
As a debut of a new kind of video we're doing, we're launching a teach-in series on issues of climate & militarism. When we think about how issues pertinent to Poiesis manifest, it's important to understand the underlying social issues that feed into the whole picture. This is our first attempt at that!
This is the fourth and final session out of four, concerned with how to make change given everything that we laid out in previous sessions. We had Nick guide us through some topics, and he facilitated three other discussions that centered the surface issues, structural issues underlying the connections, and ideological roots shared between the two.

This video is literally a synopsis of the Three Body Problem on Netflix lol
why does this channel only has 773 followers
boring !!
Good point but depends what you replace it with. I would for example say playing videogames is more productive than doom scrolling social media. Getting to the root cause of this coping mechanism is more important than quitting the behaviour itself.
Kind of ironic google predicted that I would watch this
just so you know, your videos are being used in danish english exams
Tiktok flagged me as a criminal and terrorist when i uploaded my political propaganda video and detected the cpusa logo.
Sorry to know that you stop making videos now a days. This is social media was. People don't want truth and knowledge. Thank you for making real knowledge content. Hoping that you may still create videos in the future.
So if I like love or hate this you’re gonna know my shoe size
Thank you. We fully agree. That’s why we’re working on Technotlogy, inspired both by Heideggers notion of reconnecting poiesis and techne and Joseph Beuys concept of ‘Erweiterte Kunst’, Extended Art.
The founding year of the German Informatics Society
👍
it means scapegoat capitalism and accept the green commie agenda
Imagine being this incapable of nuanced thought
You can accept the rapid development of tech is being used for evil, without thinking that you need to validate people who cut off their dicks
Great Video!! THX so much!
How bout physis?
that animated flow chart rocks thanks so much!
This is apparently one of the sources for a previous Danish high-school English exam 🤔😂
Im sitting here having the previous English examen as homework :( Good video but damn, homework is no fun.
I believe this is the type of information Clif High would use for his computerized predictions, similar type data.
Excellent! I suggest that you all become familiar with the approach of Tetrads, developed by Marshall McLuhan and his son, Eric. This approach has been examined and advocated by current philosopher, Graham Harmen (sp?). What tetrads offer is an fourfold heuristic set of practices. It goes beyond the initial thinking of Heidegger.
You NEED to continue growing this channel! The world deserves to get to know you and your videos!!
Where can I find the sources behind the video? Is it just from Zuboff's book?
Yes! It all comes from Zuboff's book.
All is in the book....really interesting stuff, not a tough read but long. if you wanna have a taste check the interviews and conferences of Zuboff
Thank you
Kindly read The Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is, please. Hare KRSNA.

thanks love this
Damn. Great video thank you
Google and Microsoft are pure evils tech giants in the US.
great video, you really deserve more views!
Brilliant!
This shi scary af
thanks for the video
which basically means Mass spying, which no seriously intends to regulate, because the governments themselves share in the spying
I’m here because of the song “Google Poeises” (why is it like, plural?) By James Ferraro
Hm yea it’s spelled the way I wrote it there, maybe I googled the wrong word lol
But this is interesting
Saying capitalists create surplus to reinvest into their production to make better products is the biggest lie I've heard in this video. They don't reinvest to create better products. They pocket the profits. This is why products are getting worse in quality even in higher end and expensive products. The entire premise of capitalism is "how much sawdust can we put in food to increase profits before people begin to notice"
Awesome thank you. Hope your channel blows up. I'm your grasshopper man!
This instructional video was so helpful for me! I was unable to understand what prediction products were until this video!!!! Thank you Btw I predict you will continue to create awesome videos!!! Do I have a buyer?
Surveillance capitalism + sanctioned domestic terrorism + organized crime + covert experimentations + contracts + incentives + shameless inhibitionless people = gang stalking and The Global gestapo!
Frankly, it's just capitalism. There is nothing new to slap "surveillance" as a qualifier. That serves for Zuboff's career and seminars inside the walls of academia. She described how this type of tech company makes more money, not anything novel or a relevant critique to capitalism.
Sounds like you read the book.
Wrong.
Not really. Simple capitalism is about reinvesting surplus production in order to create security and/or more surplus. This stuff is about controlling people, not products.
A joke. That’s what it is.
I thought it was something I was trying to get when I went out on a date, as in, "Is she gonna give me some poiesis tonight or will I end up dating lady five fingers?" I was hope something would be revealed, if you know what I mean. I really, wanted to connect with nature. Intimately.
Thanks for the laugh
Interesting 🤨
The best way to stop the algorothm is to CONFUSE it. Search about EVERYTHING you might accidentally think of. i.e.: butterflies, swimming pools, guitars, trumpets, pianos, mozart, beethoven, seashells, birds, tigers, cars, bikes, wwII airplanes, brazil, nepal, sunglasses, baseball, ... WHATEVER.
That makes no sense, at that point you’ve shared your every thought with them, which is exactly what they want…
That's a lot of work lol
@@Dujhxoqksgwowneb I'd just find it to be too much work. I love emojis though lol.
@@Dujhxoqksgwowneb no. I mean search EVERYTHING. Even (and specially) what you aren't interested to
@@flourfree2K I understand the sentiment, however, it it still incredibly easy to “sift through the noise” and see which topics you were actually interested in. A simple behavioral signal such as time spent on a web page before returning to the search results shows A) content relevance to your search, and B) interest in the searched topic. Your behavior on when searching a topic you’re actively looking for vs one you’re you’re search for to confuse their model is different - maybe not different enough for a human to recognize, but more than enough for a program purpose built to find patterns to recognize. The only true fire solution is to simply not use these products that surveil us, but becoming a Luddite makes it so you are not able to “participate” in society.
Just read the book, this is an excellent summary. Thank you. However, I think the book is flawed by being overly negative and cynical towards technology, after all, it's not all bad for the users.
great video! thanks for the information!
How can I get involved with Poesis in addition to liking sharing and subscribing? Thank you!
wow. This is a cool concept. Hmm... so if I understand correctly, you guys want to make everyone begin to understand the roots of our technologies (how they work, how they're made) again? That would require a stable, inclusive, and consistently updated public education infrastructure. The internet sounds like a good way to go, but how can this be integrated into our governmental structures to be a lasting institutional change? I wouldn't say that it's a coincidence that the masses are disconnected from... the means of production (to produce technology)...
how did you make the animations? and your video what software do you use??? Why don't you have more clicks? it s pretty good!
Thanks so much! We make all these with adobe illustrator and adobe after effects.
summary?
I'll more or less copy a comment we had below! We talk about technology as a "bringing into existence." This is how Martin Heidegger used the word "poiesis," which means "revealing." All the necessary parts were sitting around before, but the idea of the invention hadn't been revealed. Think of the "eureka" moment as a moment of poiesis, revealing, bringing into existence. When we think of how we used to bring technologies into existence, it was much more obvious that there was a cooperative aspect of our revealing. Craftspeople would see where their resources come from (the earth, trees, seas, etc.), and we would have a relationship between us, the revealed technological idea (invention), and our environment. With modern technology, the "revealing" aspect of coming up with inventions is much more sinister. Modern technological poiesis is more concerned with seeing the world as a means to our ends - something to be harvested, rather than something to cooperate with. We want to reclaim the act of revealing and direct it at this strange relationship we have with technology: to reveal these underlying thoughts behind how our technology works, what it does to us, and what we sacrifice in the name of "progress." Hopefully that helps :)
