It promised to modernise and civilise, but actually sought to control. It stole from native populations and made them sign contracts they didn't understand. It took resources just because they were there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColonialism has not disappeared — it has taken on a new form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the new world order, data is the new oil.

We handed over to big tech decisions that have allowed them to build what has become our \"space of the world\" – the highly artificial space of social media platforms where much of our social life now unfolds. This has proved reckless and has huge social consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe toxic effects on social life, young people’s mental health, and political solidarity are well known, but the key factor underlying all this has been missed: the fact that humanity allowed business to construct our space of the world \u003ci\u003eat all\u003c\/i\u003e and then exploit it for profit. In the process, we ignored two millennia of political thought about the conditions under which a healthy or even a non-violent politics is possible.
