Four bets on change that will come in 2015 | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
Bruce Sterling said back in 2002 that the new political movements that would reflect the social changes that were taking shape with the start of the century would have “passion for the vote.” In the English-speaking world, we had an advance this year with Loomio, and in our cultural surroundings, with the release of the code of Democracia OS. But things are already moving politically and socially with the founding of Podemos and the debates on how to create mass online participation.Bet 1 2015 will be the year hundreds of municipalities start up the first systems of citizen co-government using the Internet.

David de Ugarte on Terminal Modernity

David de Ugarte on Terminal Modernity | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

It is terminal modernity. That what Foucault would allude to as a kingdom being an extension of the king’s body has become a huge volume of data being centralized by a handful of very powerful corporations and another handful of governments. As a result, what we see is an ongoing bio political experiment in the ways Louis XIV or even Stalin could only dream of.
