This hyperlocalism is getting ridiculous.

It's rather ironic that Hegel, a man disappointed by the picture-thinking and hyperlocalism of historical Christianity, created one of the most picturesquely Christian ontologies of the modern age

While hyperlocalism is great in theory - it’s clearly not going to work for a modern national party. Well meaning amateurs are just not up to events like this. If @TheGreenParty are serious they need to address this.

It exposed 2 problems: Hyperlocalism - great theory - but local amateurs aren’t up to National-level campaigns. Israel Lobby - centrally @TheGreenParty have too many Zionist ‘liberals who garden’ in power positions. @ZackPolanski cant fight internal AND external battles!

Classic Reform talking out of both sides of their mouths. They say they want people with real expertise running the country, only to double down on the hyperlocalism that's killed Parliament

I would prefer it if MPs were largely banned from taking about or even seeing their constituencies. It’s one of the worst aspects of the growth of hyperlocalism: MPs are now regarded as supercouncillors and are ill-equipped to work on national legislation or issues.

Don't get me wrong here, the county is pretty RW. The MP from there is also the guy who's more conservative and pretty much won because of hyperlocalism. It was a Tory stronghold until recently.

Well put, Hyperlocalism in the context of undermining national delivery is seldom spoken about especially.

Politics isn’t working. Governments aren’t able to fix things. Published tomorrow, Conservative Revival sets out why. 7 deadly political sins, and what must change. I. Political Courage - Downplaying hard truths to win elections leaves governments without the mandate to deliver real change. II. Short-termism - Treating symptoms instead of causes creates temporary relief but entrenches long-term decline. III. Institutional Sclerosis - Bureaucratic inertia prevents ministers from implementing reform. IV. Stakeholderism - Policy driven by pressure groups weakens focus on the national interest. V. Hyperlocalism - MPs acting as local campaigners over legislators undermines national delivery. VI. Demographic Targeting - Excessively segmenting policy for electoral blocs erodes good government. VII. Polling over Policy - Polling should inform policy and vision, but not be the basis of it.

Pepe le GPEW and Yorp could you know, just push for planning reform but neither will because they both think nationalisation is magic and hyperlocalism wins elections and shit.

yeah. there's an interesting argument about hyperlocalism (a la Nassim Nicholas Taleb's older political statements) about the rights of city-states to determine policy, but not with the hypocrisy of these LARPers who want to live through the Hunger Games or Handmaids' Tale.

My favourite was last year when the Greens objected to building pylons to carry power from an offshore wind farm. Decarbonisation requires big hairy disruptive solutions. Greens’ hyperlocalism means they will always instinctively oppose them.

Hyperlocalism in action

Step 1: Get rid of Community Boards, they’re hotbeds of NIMBYism and a practical case study in the failures of hyperlocalism

I know what you mean Ronan but I’ve come to the conclusion that banal hyperlocalism is the best thing about Irish media and certainly the only plausible reason for the public to pay for it

This will correspond with an increase in counter-culture hyperlocalism. In-person markets, farm-to-table foods. Amazon-esque

Hyperlocalism is officially here

I’ve been remiss about posting it here, but really enjoyed our Blue City Blues conversation with Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez about what educated urbanites get wrong about rural America. I did the comms on the ‘22 campaign, and attribute @RepMGP’s political success - twice winning a Trump district no other D has won in any race, federal or statewide, in 15 years - to three things: hyperlocalism, disciplined anti-partisanship, and lunchpail populism. There are a lot of districts like hers across the country, where the density of college grads is low. Seems to me urban elites should be listening to her, not shouting at her.

I sat with an economist (concerned about AI economic fallout) in a club recently Asked him to take note of the different interactions that hold significant economic value now that would been considered fringe pre internet. Influencers existed, but were fringe. Recommendations existed, but were fringe. Data existed, but was fringe. "experience economy" (tourism/sharing pics of exploits) existed, but was fringe. We don't *need* influencer cosmetic lines, or branded t-shirts, but they are status markers that have elevated function in an parasocial attention economy where individuals are mandated to build status, relationships and wealth through an online profile. So in many ways I agree we are already where you describe. The big question is what interactions are more fringe/latent today that will become consequential and common post-AI. I agree on smaller affinity groups. Also think hyperlocalism is uniquely enabled by no code apps. Also think truth telling and abstinence may have a remontada after taking such a hit with social media.

Lol @google @googledownunder #HeyGoogle Do you remember this? Why is McKinsey still making decisions. @StanfordEng put this on list of all transactions to consider rolling back. This "Threat Intelligence" thesis was the biggest pile of shite. Interesting my slides were removed from cloud storage. I've put my hat in the ring for startup facing Sand Hill Rd risk mgr, and no other funds can be distributed or accepted in tech except through there. Countries can invest sovereign funds on a venture match as long as it's public good obligation cash and DARPA can also participate in their way. We can then Marshall all funding and agreements through one pot and ensure an equal footing for access to capital, which will consequently mean equal access to resources. Until America looks under the skirt again. AMERICA, STOP LOOKING AT #EE. YOU'VE SEEN INSIDE A LITTLE BIT OF REAL #AI - ARE YOU SCARED YET? I can make scarier things for you to look at. And @Google, please move to just anti-B2G, pro-OLPC, pro-CS/SWE/Tech adjacent only gsuite, blogger/blogspot and get federated Search with regionalisation working so we can "Rosetta Stone" (lol) anything by anything, for any interval. The book masters are not displayable, but they can help navigate the cultural and historical diversity of the lexicon. Anything that detects as hyperlocalism uses the old W3C Query protocol to send the request to a local search engine so we don't snipe local classifieds. They pay for local sports, arts, mens sheds, skate ramps. We need to consider Ted Nelson's thesis when using someones bit size chunks of content, but in reverse so google gets a clip. And the possible use of military intervention to force the reconstitution of some companies. @ssi I'm onto you. Give us our mountain ash seedlings. Why would you take them and poison the ground? I'm the scariest thing #PARC has ever had come past it's door, down the hall and into the sewers, where I usually like to live when I'm around Xerox Park. I can be civil as well, like using the old wharf to get in a double scull and do some rowing training. I do know how to do Bioinformatics myself. Have you considered the natural logarithm of tree loading, and how it relates to local alignment sequences? Interesting topic. Full of primes. But why? I do know one thing. You are an ex-Googler and you have a standard to maintain. And us Aussies are more than capable of chipping you and having you chased by a swarm for the rest of your life. Not every day, but enough that it could happen at any moment, in any country. @HooverInst @MonashUni @SJSU @UCSF @UCLA @SABE_latrobe @RHCJO Why are we getting @AdrianDittmann @AdrianDittmann @AdamBandt @ADanielHill @berkeley_ai @CaltechSeismo
