Authoritarianism 2.0 with the ‘free market’ UI has obviously convinced a lot of people. I am deeply angry at how my two fields - tech and media/lit critique have been proven to be more effective for their dark side than actually building a kinder world grounded in truths. The internet platforms amplified fragmentation for $$$ and claimed they were the real victims. Skepticism destabilised rather than revealed truths, with the help of those platforms.
This is a hard century. I hope there is enough left for our kids to rescue their future.

Not reviewing 2012. It was harsh.
Not making goals for 2013 more complex than survival, I know better than that at the moment.

Nonetheless current state may be regarded as contented.
