A space where mutualist political economy gets speculative, and speculative philosophy gets mutual. Use this channel to discuss and promote mutualist economics and consider its post-human implications (interspecies, artistic, and the weird places beyond…)

Brian Massumi on recognizing the virtual - matter’s implicate - against or beyond Plato.

Open mutualism asks, what would it be like if Nathan Schneider got really into the late Lovecraft? What if a critical mass of Protocol Guild became convinced they were having spontaneous telepathic communication with Gaia? What if Owocki secretly travelled to Tunisia, certain that the secrets of the next funding allocation tool lay in the spiny dye-murex’s role in the Siege of Carthage?

Just scoping the mycofi.earth link tree and there’s a link to spun.earth for the protection of underground ecosystems. How to elaborate this relationship so the biomimetic metaphor becomes occasion for a network? 🍄‍🟫⚡️👀
