How about we try to enforce some kind of ‘Polarization Tax’?

Concept was mentioned during keynote on ‘AI and democracy’ by Lawrence Lessig (@lessig) and Moshe Vardi ( @vardi) at this event:

@emchateau Attention! The "Digital Humanism" distinguishes itself explicitly from what is usually known as "Digital Humanities" (and, I assume, its French equivalent "Humanités numériques"). Probably a translation into "Humanism numérique" might be closer to the interests of the Vienna Manifesto? #DigitalHumanism

* "who are my followers" (to whom I "boost" this) -> audiences -> audience-language (->self-complex)

(keyterms: "collapse of audiences", "context collapse")

From Julian Nida-Rümelin and Dorothea Winter:

As a result of increasing digitalization, humans are handing over more and more responsibility to artificial intelligence (AI) and digital tools, e.g., in the field of autonomous driving, applicant tracking software, or creditworthiness rating. For this reason, some speak of a so-called counter-Enlightenment. But in contrast to this trend, digital transformation can strengthen the ideals of the Enlightenment and humanism and help humans to achieve more freedom, use of reason, and responsibility—Enlightenment 2.0, so to speak. To shed light on this interplay, we will explain the interdependence between humanism and the Enlightenment in this chapter. This is important to understand the foundations of Digital Humanism in general. In this regard, this chapter is, in a sense, fundamental, because it deals with the foundation of humanism itself (in relation to the Enlightenment).

I could be categorised as a digital humanist, even if I would be uncomfortable with the term, but I struggle to identify with this. It fails to distinguish between cultural humanism (which I would largely share a posthumanist critique of) and ontological humanism (which I think is necessary to recognise to mount any efficacious critique).

I will persist because I’ve only skimmed this literature so far, but I’d worried that digital humanism in a narrowly cultural mode is little more than a rebranded transhumanism. I will withhold judgement until I’ve read more 🤔
