Neoliberal “learnification” and literacy testing did considerable violence to the humanities by subjecting them to the rationality of measurable task execution.

“Adorno’s characterisation of reification as an epiphenomenon highlights crucial insights in Marx’s critique of capital […]. Adorno does not ask what is “reification,” or, so to speak, what is capital in abstraction from society. Instead, he asks what it means for people.”

One of best things I’ve read on the moments of reality and illusion in reification as a critical concept. What’s more it turns the recent discourse on VFT on its head, since it takes up Adorno’s project of foregrounding human suffering against “the scientific prejudice”

Die Gesellschaft des Spektakels spottet, die ihre Absicht nicht verbergen muss: die Menschen auf einem mit sozialer Zufriedenheit gepflasterten Weg ins Verderben zu ziehen. Es ist das Unwahre einer Welt, dessen Monstrosität wahr geworden ist.

“[O]ne must be very careful with the concept of autonomous art; it’s a lesser evil in a radically false world, and its truth content is falsified if it is taken to be true in itself. Art should not be confused with the light of utopia that once fell on it” @totalcritique

Imagine visiting a library where all the books had been replaced by high-schoolers’ book reports and then the next day finding only summaries of those reports written by raccoons.
“The world is dumber, and we all know it,” Lane Brown writes. It’s not just that children have been bombing their standardized tests or that more than a quarter of U.S. adults now read at the lowest proficiency level. It’s also that in nearly all aspects of life, we’re opting for routines, entertainment, and entire belief systems that ask less and less of our brains. For our Cover Story, Brown writes about our recent cognitive diminishment — and proposes a counter-intuitive theory of what’s causing it: nymag.visitlink.me/VEMvwP
