Edition-106 of Delicacies: As usual, max 5 articles that I found interesting and worth re-reading. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. Enjoy!

• About a very disturbing trend of industrialised nightmare production and systematic and automated infrastructure violence. Highly recommended. But highly disturbing as well: https://medium.com/@jamesbridle/something-is-wrong-on-the-internet-c39c471271d2
• About fundamental rethinking car functionality: here the example of the steering wheel, why do we still have that? Video from WebSummit 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VFRyb3mpfs
• About the irresponsible strategy of social media to consume as much of your time and attention, creating addiction and consciously not caring about the consequences: http://calnewport.com/blog/2017/11/10/sean-parker-on-facebooks-brain-hacking/
• About Otto Scharmer’s U.Lab new initiative with MIT and HuffPost to create a movement to transform capitalism: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/5a06ef9ce4b0f1dc729a6b39
• About Ray Kurzweil rehashing the coming singularity, adding nation-state, longevity and human freedom. Be skeptical if you ask me. https://singularityhub.com/2017/11/10/3-dangerous-ideas-from-ray-kurzweil/
