Dossier nepnieuws

We zijn beter te manipuleren dan ooit. Dossier nepnieuws: Essay Bas Heijne

Dat de kwade trouw van Trump, Russische trollen, en websites als Infowars en Breitbart ruim baan krijgt, komt volgens Kakutani omdat wijzelf hun bedje hebben gespreid. We zijn door-en-door narcistisch geworden, aangemoedigd om onszelf als middelpunt van alles te zien (selfie-cultuur!). Waar is wat we voelen – en alles wat die waarheid in twijfel lijkt te trekken zien we als een leugen, of iets wat ons dwarsboomt. Door nieuwe technologie en de opkomst van sociale media heeft een verkaveling van het maatschappelijke debat plaatsgevonden – in plaats van vrije uitwisseling van argumenten is er groepspolarisatie. Vrijwel elke discussie, zeker online, is een discussie tussen doven. Ook hier gaat het meer om het uiten van emotie dan om het verkrijgen van inzicht.

Harvard's billion-dollar farmland fiasco

One of the world's major buyers of farmland is under fire for their involvement in land conflicts, environmental destruction and risky investments. A new report by GRAIN and Rede Social de Justiça e Direitos Humanos1 presents, for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of Harvard University's controversial investments in global farmland.

The report finds that:

Harvard's endowment fund has spent around $1 billion to acquire control of an estimated 850,000 hectares of farmland around the world, making the University one of the world's largest and most geographically diverse farmland investors.

Harvard's farmland acquisitions were undertaken without proper due diligence and have contributed to the displacement and harassment of traditional communities, environmental destruction and conflicts over water. The consequences of these deals are particularly dire in Brazil, where Harvard's endowment fund has acquired nearly 300,000 hectares of land in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savannah.

Harvard's opaque farmland investments resulted in windfall remunerations for its fund managers and business partners but have failed as an investment strategy for the university.

For Materialism we ‘de-produce’ the produced, deconstructing familiar things about which we tend only to consider their function. We make clear how much of the matter within these objects is extracted from the earth. In the process, we reverse the mandates of engineering required for mass production which are standardization, modularization, and abstraction. We essentially create uniqueness, unity, and ‘de-abstraction’ in the form of simple geometric blocks. These blocks of varied, pure color make visual rhymes with the earliest works of Abstract art such as the paintings of Kazimir Malevich, Hilma af Klint, and Piet Mondrian. And, although the goal of ‘de-abstraction’ may sound opposed to the work of these 20th century artists, the purpose of their work and of Materialism is actually aligned: to make the essential nature of the world visible.
