Just to remind you, last week I started off with: Traditionally, the field known as the “Economics of Information” has mainly been focused on how market prices happen (in the “supply and demand” scheme of things). “Economics of Information 2.0: Advertising“ And then I talked a bunch about how (predominantly online) advertising today has changed… Continue reading Economics of Information 2.0: Censorship

Economics of Information 2.0: Advertising
Traditionally, the field known as the “Economics of Information” has mainly been focused on how market prices happen (in the “supply and demand” scheme of things). I do not aim to discount the very significant work that has been done here in the last half century (give or take a decade or two). Yet I… Continue reading Economics of Information 2.0: Advertising
Impedant Commerce
This week I felt both devastated and yet also hopeful at the same time (more or less). Actually, the devastation came first: Buzzkill died (see “Life is a scam” [ https://obit.news.blog/2026/07/26/life-is-a-scam ] ). I can’t really explain my very strong emotional reaction. The “NoAgenda Show” has existed for a very long time and seemed to be… Continue reading Impedant Commerce
Online Interventions
A significant part of “the meaning of life” is to intervene in some way — to make a contribution, to have an impact, etc. (cf. Viktor Frankl’s notion of so-called “logotherapy”). I choose to intervene online. I don’t need to march around, get into a car, drive somewhere, or get into a plane to travel… Continue reading Online Interventions
bruh-space: faces + names vs. words + ideas
Are you familiar with this face? You might be — if you are of a particular generation, if you have somewhat of an artistic bent, if you pay attention to popular media, and so on. [1] This is an image of a musician performing on stage as part of a duo that created a bunch… Continue reading bruh-space: faces + names vs. words + ideas
The Irrational Frontier
One thing I haven’t talked about (perhaps even haven’t considered) enough is the “no man’s land” that separates rational media from irrational media. [1] This is nothing new. Shakespeare quite obviously invented “new” (and improved?) words. Strings like “Anthropic” and / or “Perplexity” might be meaningful to you (or not) primarily depending on which linguistic… Continue reading The Irrational Frontier
Indigena Revisited
I hope I didn’t give anyone too much of “Great Expectations” last week, when I suggested for you to tune in again this week for more enlightenment. Enlightenment is not something that happens at the drop of a hat … it crystallizes slowly. And just as trustworthy information is fertile ground for growth in enlightenment,… Continue reading Indigena Revisited
Routing Around Irrational Media
I am working towards making the model of “Rational Media vs. Irrational Media” more simple, and easier to understand. [1] In order to do that, I feel it is imperative to come to an understanding of the extreme state of mesmerization a very large majority of populations worldwide are in. Masses of men and women… Continue reading Routing Around Irrational Media
Irrational Media’s Business Model is Propaganda
I am amazed that I apparently need to say this. I feel it ought to be as plain as saying “day-time is when it is not night-time”. I was chatting yesterday with a friend and I asked him what he thought of my approach — namely of the way I do not pay attention to… Continue reading Irrational Media’s Business Model is Propaganda
Wholely Holy Holey
I am writing this post sort of “off the cuff” while still traveling. I thought of the title while I was attending an event. But sometimes I will convince myself that a title is crystal clear only to discover a day or two later that is actually quite cryptic. Case in point. But no worry… Continue reading Wholely Holy Holey
