@shibacomputer I almost didn't read the text because I thought it was about Signal only.
Fortunately, I clicked on it anyway and am impressed. What a great essay on so many levels (including the literary one)! This interweaving of body, landscape, ideologies and virtual spaces says so much between the lines.
I read this text as someone who works with cultural heritage: in museums, in living traditions and storytelling. I remember when the Taliban destroyed the giant Buddhas and there was a rush

@shibacomputer to digitise everything. As if we could preserve our cultural heritage forever in the cloud, safe from threats. And now comes the next thread, AI hallucinations, datacenters (and wars). "Violence, then rebuild; profit, then philanthropy – repeat!" This is so much the USA acting at the moment. Thank you so much for this brillant essay, these inspiring thoughts, I'll read it several times!
