#DigitalTransformationFallacy

People retroactively adjusting to accommodate rushed technology introductions.

#DigitalTransformation is an anti-pattern that pervasively festers in our tech industry. A fallacy that builds on other fallacies, such as the idea that "technology means progress". Result is a #technosphere where people must forcibly adapt, and an environment that greatly benefits #hypercapitalism and #BigTech.

The opposite trend focuses on #SocialFirst, evolves a #sociosphere.

People specialize. There are countless 'tip of spear' #Activism pieces of the puzzle and even more 'part of the shaft' #Solution pieces. All in a chaotic pile, still in the box, seeking connection.

We need a flat organized underground where with patience and creativity puzzle piece connectors put them together, an united #commons to let a new picture appear until the puzzle is complete and - to step out of the analogy - we moved post- #hypercapitalism as a species.

One can hope. And #dream. :D

Social experience design #SX is the opposite of #DigitalTransformation and offers a #people-first "needs-driven" approach to solution development that scales from personal vantage point via inter-personal #relationships, up to societal levels. Digital transformation is no more than a shallow #technology-first "tech means progress" approach to improve #hypercapitalism's profitability.

Stop the mindless digital transformation trend. #DigitalTransformationRunsDeep into shitty dystopic territory.

Diagram showing the scope of SX which extends beyond DX and UX. DX scopes up to technical systems, UX up to socio-technical platforms, where SX is able to deliver socio-cultural solutions. In an approach that goes from individual needs to considering inter-personal relationships in order to create solutions that leave societal imprint.

Dictionary: #HyperCapitalism

Efficient planetary-scale self-destruction mechanism fueled by human vices.

"This is fine" meme with the dog in the burning room, with the texts "hypercapitalism" and "self-explanatory image".

Why don't politicians in general admit that we must #TaxTheRich?

> In some ways its astonishingly simple. We allowed the collective management of the national interest to be corrupted by the idea that naked #individualism would provide more wealth for ‘everyone’, infamously, it would ‘trickle down’. It did no such thing. It never will. It only ever gushed rapidly upwards. We need a reset.

@EUCommission

Your focus has shifted to #Bluesky for #Microblogging to replace old twitter.

That means more attention freed for #ActivityPub. The future of #social networking is strengthening #human connection online.

Let's lead the way forward in how #technology can serve mankind, instead of mindless digital transformation that only serves #capitalism and the bottom line.

We can envision a #peopleverse together. A place where online and offline are seamlessly connected, not separate worlds.

@EUCommission

Where #AI technosphere only dehumanises and alienates us from each other, a perfect tool for #hypercapitalism, we can instead foster the #sociosphere where inter-personal relationships may thrive online.

Let's unite and add the missing social layers of our open technology stack, and innovate social web technologies based on true human needs that exist in #society.

We can do this. In fact we already did. A handful of passionate people in the #commons created #fediverse on a dime.
