Artwork of a space scene. A flock of armored raptors with glowing red eyes fly at the viewer. An enormous, bird-shaped structure with spread wings floats in the background. Many planets float around it, but one planet is clearly between us and the temple suggesting it must be truly titanic.

“One could ask where deep reflections on social class take place in Moorcock’s work, which mostly features mentally-ill aristocrats with magic swords and a loose conception of the value of human life, but it is enough not to sentimentalise. So long as you make your protagonists “flawed”, and your universe sufficiently chaotic, allegory can safely fall away, charges of conservatism are seen off and you can get back (with some relief) to the business of telling stories about magic, girls in towers and chopping off heads.”

Quoted text: “ We argue that digital information literacy must include the competence of critical ignoring—choosing what to ignore and where to invest one’s limited attentional capacities. We review three types of cognitive strategies for implementing critical ignoring: self-nudging, in which one ignores temptations by removing them from one’s digital environments; lateral reading, in which one vets information by leaving the source and verifying its credibility elsewhere online; and the do-not-feed-the-trolls heuristic, which advises one to not reward malicious actors with attention.”
