This account is used for occasional links and reflections related to research, public policy and governance. I focus on judgement, trade-offs and institutional context rather than real-time commentary or debate. Posting is intentionally infrequent.

Intressant hos Sveriges Radio om 90-talsnostalgi. 90-talet fungerar mindre som minne och mer som projiceringsyta. Ett arkiv av stilar och känslor som laddas om i algoritmernas nutid. Frågan är inte hur det var, utan varför samtiden behöver det? www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/var-...

Lyssnar på 1900-talets profetior om 2025: flygande bilar, ekologisk kollaps, mindre befolkning – många slog fel. Men kan prognoser ändå hjälpa oss förstå vår tid och varför vi hela tiden vill ana framtiden? Med @karimjebari.bsky.social www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/fram...

What could be more futuristic than debating humanity as a multiplanetary species? Tech visionaries talk of a million people on Mars within 20 years. In response, Dr Natuschka Lee gave a fascinating speech at @futures-studies.bsky.social youtu.be/fqQNiwCKHc4?...

Hur får forskning faktiskt genomslag hos politiker, tjänstepersoner och journalister? I en ny intervju berättar jag om projektet där @futures-studies.bsky.social testat policy briefs, nyhetsbrev och webbinarier som gör forskning användbar i praktiken. Läs här 👉 www.iffs.se/nyheter/nya-...

How can research cut through today’s noise? I wrapped up the @futures-studies.bsky.social project "New Ways to Communicate Research Results" with a full-room talk on formats that strengthen researchers’ voices. What communication and public engagement tools work best for you? #SciComm 🧪

Honored to join the 2025 @rightlivelihood.org Award Ceremony. Listening to global leaders in climate justice, digital democracy and human rights made the challenges ahead feel clearer. The future belongs to those who refuse silence and build together.

Vi har testat nya sätt att nå ut med forskning. Nu börjar projektet på @futures-studies.bsky.social sky.social runda av. Resultaten pekar på att några gamla sanningar håller. Andra gör det inte. Vad funkar faktiskt för dig när forskning ska nå ut. 👀💬 www.iffs.se/forskning/fo...

What happens when Foucault, Latour, Guattari, Deleuze, and Gerburg Treusch-Dieter become puppets? A puppet show distilling the A-B-C of postmodernism: power, networks, desire, simulation through theatrical wit and surreal dialogue. Philosophical ventriloquism at its finest. youtu.be/Ci1e0XT5f_U?...

I used to swear by Leuchtturm1917 Then I tried Fabriano Now my notes glide instead of sit still. It’s not just paper. It’s rhythm, texture, invitation. Strange how one change can make writing feel new again. What’s your current favorite notebook? www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

Debate between transhumanist Zoltan Istvan and Aaron Bastani of Fully Automated Luxury Communism. Transhumanism meets Fully Automated Luxury Communism. Shared premises, divergent ends. Maybe the future isn’t as divided as it looks. iai.tv/articles/we-...

Fountain pens are booming, even as Chinese knockoffs flood the market, they attract new fans. For me, writing remains special with my trusted Pilot pen.

Projektet “Nya sätt att sprida forskningsresultat till samhället” testar nu policy briefs förmåga att nå ut med forskning till beslutsfattare. Kan vi förutse opinionsförändringar?

🎉 40M users on Bluesky! Not just growth — momentum. Dislikes coming (for feed tuning, not dunking). More tools, more control, fewer trolls. Social media’s network effect is shifting. This isn’t a clone, it’s a reset. #Bluesky40M #PlatformShift techcrunch.com/2025/10/31/b...

Let’s face it: soon, being read by AI will be more important for influence than print or clicks. You might have to pitch to the machines, not just readers. Welcome to #TeamAITextbook w/ @kevinkelly.bsky.social kk.org/thetechnium/...

Human visits to Wikipedia are down 8% compared to last year, according to Wikimedia’s @marshallmiller.bsky.social. Meanwhile, AI traffic to Wikipedia keeps rising scraping the same source. We’ve only seen the beginning of its impact on the knowledge ecosystem. diff.wikimedia.org/2025/10/17/n...

Maybe the real danger isn’t collapse, it’s entrapment. Institutions seldom crumble; they adapt. Gregory Bateson called it a *double bind*: every path leads back to the trap. What’s our double bind today? open.substack.com/pub/aocrawfo...

Får högern plats i klimatkampen? 🌍 Filosofen Olle Torpman på @futures-studies.bsky.social berättar om sin nya bok "En grön höger?" om ideologi, frihet, tradition och klimatpolitik. 🔗 Intervju: www.iffs.se/nyheter/en-g... 💬 Kan en borgerlig klimatpolitik vara värderingsdriven?

🧠 The success of AI governance depends on foresight Traditional tools (white papers, roundtables) can be too slow. Forecasts and scenarios help, but does not confront human decision-making under pressure. Might this be a game changer? www.aipolicyperspectives.com/p/science-2030

Jag har testat att skriva policy briefs som ett sätt att sprida forskning till beslutsfattare. Men funkar det? Har du själv läst eller använt policy briefs, vad tycker du om formatet?

Study in @nature.com shows papers & patents are less disruptive since the 1940s. Why are we seeing fewer game-changing ideas? #Science #Research www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The EU AI Act became law last year, with rollout planned over 18 months. Now Sweden’s PM wants to pause the rollout, calling the rules “confusing” and warning Europe could fall behind. What would a pause mean for innovation, safety and the global AI race? www.politico.eu/article/swed...

The MAHA movement is a wild mix. Wellness gurus pushing raw milk, transhumanist dreams of health optimization, woo like anti-vax conspiracies, populist rage against Big Pharma, and a sprinkle of science on diet reform. A cultural tightrope. #MAHA #HealthPolitics reason.com/2025/06/14/a...

Crisis of confidence?

Läste just veckans nummer av Finansmagasinet, och fastnade för en artikel om #DeadInternetTheory. En provocerande idé: att stora delar av internet i dag inte längre är "levande", utan fyllt av #AI genererat innehåll och simulerad aktivitet. Är det främst botar som läser annonser? #mediekritik

In a striking piece @thehill.com, researchers explore humiliation as a political weapon, both in today’s politics and in 1980s Poland’s dictatorship. A chilling reminder: emotional control is a tool of power. #Politics #PowerDynamics #PoliticalStrategy thehill.com/opinion/whit...

Human contact is important in critical moments, but maybe AI can prevent those critical moments?

Läste just veckans nummer av Finansmagasinet, och fastnade för en artikel om livsförlängning som marknad och idé. Bättre kost och motion, piller, kurer och forskning om hur vi åldras. Det mest oväntade? Att rörelsen Make America Healthy Again ger det politiskt stöd. #Livsförlängning #Medicin

Uploaded image and ask DALL-E to make a tarot card about me. I'd say the AI is a bit of a flatterer.
