From #Myth to Machine: When Stories Shaped Our Journey to the Stars 
Humans have always looked up at the night sky—not just to navigate or measure, but to imagine. From ancient myths to Galileo’s telescope, from Jules Verne’s moon voyages to the visionary worlds of sci-fi writers, our stories about space have profoundly shaped our path into the cosmos.
Today, these once-fantastic narratives have become real infrastructure, influencing our #politics, #economy, technology, and #society in profound ways.
In my latest Society & Technology Newsletter, I explore how the imaginative power of storytelling has driven humanity’s journey into space—and what happens now that we’re actually there.
I’d love for you to read it, share your thoughts, and join this fascinating reflection.

The Japan Tariff Myth That Just Won’t Die
Why are Japanese streets empty of US cars? It’s no mystery — they're not good enough.
Tools for thought ≠ just apps.
PKM isn’t new—and it isn’t just digital. From notebooks to mind maps, analog tools still play a powerful role in how we think, write, and learn.
Don’t let shiny new toys and apps distract from solid thinking and meaning making.

Note LabFrom (Commonplace) Notebooks to Notetaking Apps: Why Tools for Thought Aren’t Just DigitalIn the age of digitalisation, the digital transformation or the digital state (Stalder, 2018), it is easy to assume that effective and contemporary thinking tools for (personal) knowledge management must be digital, too. However, history and practice show that analog tools—such as commonplace books, index cards, and notebooks—have long played a crucial role in structuring and enhancing knowledge work. This post challenges the myth that only digital tools qualify as tools for thought.
RIP, Conference Curator! The fantasy of the conference curator is dead. Instead, let conference attendees choose conference content.

"I dreamt of the dragon"
"I have awakened him. Cannot you see, all around you, the dragon's breath?"
This evening's viewing: revisiting one of my all-time favourites, Boorman's Excalibur, which succeeds where other Arthur fulms fail, because it embraces the myth.

Skadi would win her bargain with the gods if she was not made to laugh, so they desperately sent their jester: Loki tied his bits and beard to a goat and kicked the goat, who pulled and pulled. Skadi at last smiled: her blood feud was over. #FairytaleTuesday #Norse #Myth #Folklore

Here's why "conference curators"—people who can supposedly create great programs at conferences—are a myth.
TIL: That Joseph Campbell is trash, universal myths aren't going to save us but maybe folklore can. 
What's your favorite folk lore or public domain story that talks shit about rich people and/or monarchs?

"Yesterday’s #WhiteHouse stunt had all the hallmarks of Trump #corruption, but there was something else, too—an air of desperation. It was a tacit admission that the #protests are working and that #Musk and #Trump are rattled...
These moments make clear that this time, Musk has wagered the only thing he can’t easily buy back—the very #myth he created for himself."

TONIGHT!!
Everybody welcome, just turn up!
LIVE @UCLAnthropology and on ZOOM
Tues Feb 18, 6:30pm (London UTC)
Chris Knight talks on
'How we got stuck: The hunter Monmanecki and his wives can teach Graeber and Wengrow a lesson'
'The Dawn of Everything' argues that human political arrangements got stuck when divine kings and other patriarchal despots began to confuse paternal care with coercive control. Drawing on insights provided by an Amazonian myth, #ChrisKnight argues that the decisive changes occurred much earlier than Graeber and Wengrow suppose. Gender politics got stuck when patriarchal forms of marriage and residence took over, disconnecting women from their former freedom to choose where to live – a freedom in turn linked with the periodicity of the moon.
Chris will be LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Dept. Come in good time by 6:30pm before doors close please. You can also join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak
Give up the myth of control exercised at traditional conferences. Instead, give attendees the freedom to make the event their own.
