One big and very recent development is the #ergodiciity theory in #economics. It throws things like the entire #behavioral economics to the bin and shows how rational the people actually are, confirmed experimentally. All of the taken out of the butt utility functions disappear. It's very satisfying to read.

The foundational paper:

But again, it's #microeconomy, way less political area. I'm personally most familiar with the market microstructure field. If you wanted something not very political, try those keywords. It's most connected to the mathematical decision theory, the PvE version of game theory, which is PvP.

NatureThe ergodicity problem in economics - Nature PhysicsThis Perspective argues that ergodicity — a foundational concept in equilibrium statistical physics — is wrongly assumed in much of the quantitative economics literature. By asking the extent to which dynamical problems can be replaced by probabilistic ones, many economics puzzles are resolved in a natural and empirically testable fashion.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Online Behavioral Ads Fuel the Surveillance Industry—Here’s HowEach time you see a targeted ad, your personal information is exposed to thousands of advertisers and data brokers through a process called “real-time bidding” (RTB). This process does more than deliver ads—it fuels government surveillance, poses national security risks, and gives data brokers easy access to your online activity. RTB might be the most privacy-invasive surveillance system that you’ve never heard of.

I’ve been repeatedly sharing this #surveillance #capitalism graphic because the bird app drama is revealing the business model, whose extractive processes have second and third-order impacts on users, their behaviors towards each other, and the environments they occupy as data #citizens.

The lack of industrialized mechanization at scale produces a radically different user experience.
