A brilliant autopsy. Latour showed us that politics is frozen into objects. Today, we live in a hell of those objects all pulling in different directions. The call to 'become mechanics' is noble, but it’s a call to maintain the ICU. Does the logical, terrifying, and perhaps necessary next step point not to more mechanics, but to a single, competent doctor for the entire patient?
The “Cloud” is not ethereal it’s concrete, wired, and controlled. Philosophy reminds us: objects shape power as much as people do. True freedom begins when we stop staring at screens and start seeing the wires.

I teach my students this very thing. Metaphors are powerful things.
