jarban<p>He publicado, en el blog, una reseña del libro "Pascal. Un genio precoz" escrito por Félix García Merayo.</p><p><a href="https://jarban02.blogspot.com/2025/08/pascal-un-genio-precoz-de-felix-garcia.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jarban02.blogspot.com/2025/08/</span><span class="invisible">pascal-un-genio-precoz-de-felix-garcia.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libro</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/entrada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>entrada</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blog</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/matem%C3%A1ticas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>matemáticas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blaisepascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blaisepascal</span></a></p>
stonehead<p>The book "The Siren's Call" by Chris Hayes is just another book about big tech running the Attention Economy (which Mastodon is also necessarily a part of). </p><p>Its summary impressed me already by making connections to philosopher <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/BlaisePascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlaisePascal</span></a> in 1670 ("the root of all human unhappiness stems from our inability to sit quietly in a room with our own thoughts"), the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Taliban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Taliban</span></a> in 2021 (who once roamed the wilderness and pursued a life of religious devotion, but after their conquering of Afghanistan found themselves alienated in office jobs, sitting in front of computers all day), and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/KarlMarx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KarlMarx</span></a> (whose theory of alienation describes how capitalist production, with its division of labor and machinery, inherently dehumanizes workers. They become "appendages of the machine" - in a way, social media is just like 19th century industrial mass production). Everywhere in the information age, newly invented tools that provide value eventually just distract people.</p><p>The book lacks solutions. "Commitment"? Print media? Hmm.</p>
