Elon Musk Dark Star Rising

Elon Musk Dark Star Rising

Richard Cooke

Bui Jones Books
2025
nidottu
At the helm of X, bankrolling far-right lawsuits, and parroting white nationalist conspiracy theories to millions, Elon Musk is no longer a tech eccentric with odd politics - he's the public face of the MAGA counter-revolution. Alongside Trump and the digital culture warriors of the new right, Musk is acting as both financier and foot soldier, reshaping the online public sphere in the image of a paranoid, hyper-capitalist backlash. He's not just posting through it - he's helping lead it. In this urgent and razor-sharp essay, award-winning journalist Richard Cooke dissects the political descent of Elon Musk: from self-described moderate to reactionary provocateur, from self-mythologised innovator to conspiracy peddler and chaos agent. With forensic clarity, Cooke exposes the roots of Musk's transformation - the mythology of genius, the libertarian cult of disruption, and the tech elite's growing comfort with authoritarianism. Dark Star Rising investigates how the richest man alive came to dominate what was once the digital town square - and what it means when that square is turned into a plaything of the paranoid elite. As Cooke reveals, Musk's trajectory is not an anomaly but a warning: when billionaires cosplay as rebels and monopolise the means of communication, democracy itself hangs in the balance. Dark Star Rising is searing account of the political devolution of Elon Musk - and what it reveals about the tech elite's descent into far-right reaction.

Tired of Winning: A Chronicle of American Decline

Tired of Winning: A Chronicle of American Decline

Richard Cooke

Black Inc.
2019
pokkari
Polarised, enraged and spiritually bereft, America under Donald Trump seems to be on the brink of failure.In this dazzling debut, award-winning Australian writer Richard Cooke takes a close-up look at the state of the United States. From the theology of opioids to the aftermath of a mass shooting, from #MeToo to the paintings of George W. Bush, Cooke's reporting takes him from an East Coast ravaged by climate change to the dangerous world of the US-Mexico border.This is not another diner-hopping week in Trump country- it's a radical effort to capture dissonant and varied Americas, across more than twenty states. In brilliantly rendered accounts of poets, politicians and poisoned cities, Cooke finds a nation splintering under the weight of alienation - but showing resilience and hope in the most unexpected ways.Entertaining and terrifying in equal measure, Tired of Winning reveals the schisms and the clamour of contemporary America.

Elon Musk - head of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of Twitter - has become a neo-reactionary online troll. What has caused his troubling political transformation?"Though he is already preparing to send astronauts to the moon, Musk has been consistently under estimated, and now the danger he presents is being underestimated as well." -Richard CookeAt first it was so unexpected: why was this humanity-loving unorthodox liberal visionary flirting with white nationalists and Holocaust deniers onTwitter? But over time, a sinister pattern emerged, making it impossible to ignore.Dark Star explores the troubling political devolution of Elon Musk.Award-winning writer Richard Cooke looks at the transformation of the world's richest person from self-described social moderate to trolling neo-reactionary and staunch advocate for hardline US conservatives. He unearths the roots of this turning in Musk's rise to power as well as in the politics of the new "tech right" and its adoring fanbase.The essay also investigates an urgent question: what are the consequences for free speech - and hate speech - as Musk controls and reshapes the online town square?

In late 2012 I moved back to Hawaii from Portland, OR. After a few months of bouncing around Honolulu and spending my weekends sleeping up country in my van I decided to just go with it go full time vanlife. I drove a 1989 Toyota van, a spacepod from the 80s complete with spray paint palm leaf camo and gold tint. I kept my clothes and cameras and books under my futon (a door propped the length of the car with a thin mattress and sleeping bag) and a cooler filled with ice and film.These are some of the 35mm photos that survived the ride.

Behind Human Error

Behind Human Error

David Woods; Sidney Dekker; Richard Cook; Leila Johannesen; Nadine Sarter

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2010
sidottu
Human error is cited over and over as a cause of incidents and accidents. The result is a widespread perception of a 'human error problem', and solutions are thought to lie in changing the people or their role in the system. For example, we should reduce the human role with more automation, or regiment human behavior by stricter monitoring, rules or procedures. But in practice, things have proved not to be this simple. The label 'human error' is prejudicial and hides much more than it reveals about how a system functions or malfunctions. This book takes you behind the human error label. Divided into five parts, it begins by summarising the most significant research results. Part 2 explores how systems thinking has radically changed our understanding of how accidents occur. Part 3 explains the role of cognitive system factors - bringing knowledge to bear, changing mindset as situations and priorities change, and managing goal conflicts - in operating safely at the sharp end of systems. Part 4 studies how the clumsy use of computer technology can increase the potential for erroneous actions and assessments in many different fields of practice. And Part 5 tells how the hindsight bias always enters into attributions of error, so that what we label human error actually is the result of a social and psychological judgment process by stakeholders in the system in question to focus on only a facet of a set of interacting contributors. If you think you have a human error problem, recognize that the label itself is no explanation and no guide to countermeasures. The potential for constructive change, for progress on safety, lies behind the human error label.

The World Color Survey

The World Color Survey

Paul Kay; Brent Berlin; Luisa Maffi; William R. Merrifield; Richard Cook

Centre for the Study of Language Information
2011
nidottu
The 1969 publication of Brent Berlin and Paul Kay's "Basic Color Terms" proved explosive. Contrary to the then-popular doctrine of random language variation, Berlin and Kay's multilingual study of color nomenclature indicated a cross-cultural and almost universal pattern in the selection of colors that received abstract names in each language. After four decades in print, "Basic Color Terms" now has a sequel: in this book, the authors authoritatively extend the original survey, studying 110 additional unwritten languages in detail and in situ. The results are presented with charts showing the overall palette of color terms within each language, as well as the levels of agreement among speakers.
