I confess that I wore a similar robe for much of the time I was painting this scene. https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/gunslinger-man-in-black/ 2/2Mastodon.ART

Fred Hebert (@mononcqc@hachyderm.io)New #paper notes: Morgan G. Ames' Charismatic Technology (https://www.morganya.org/research/Ames-charisma-aarhus.pdf) This one defines the concept of "charismatic technology"—Utopian sounding tech that is fundamentally conservative and over-promises in way that makes its deployment success unlikely. It is guided through the example of the OLPC program crossing themes like education and childhood then taking away attention from better solutions.
