Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Platy's read, .
By demystifying Ross and Shawn, I hope to reveal the nature of the critical biases that argue against the notion that the upper middle class can enjoy a genuine, affective, affirming connection with the pieces of literary mass culture marketed to them. Present in both popular and academic criticism, these biases privilege a narrow ideal of cultural agency, articulated either as autonomous artistic production or heroically subversive consumption. Until we are willing to elide the stark divisions between those categories, and to broaden the cramped idea of what counts as “resistance” that arises from them, we will be unable to come to terms with the complex realities of how upper-middle-class men and women make meaning within mass culture.

Historical revisionism plays on this same impulse, telling people that the established record is an attack on their identity, like a poor score on a test, so it should be rejected.

ENF matching shows how easy it is to leak information via unexpected side-channels. But despite its intellectual attraction, it might not actually be very important very often. Recordings don’t always contain the right kind of electrical noise. Perhaps they weren’t taken near enough to a source of mains hum, or perhaps the recording device didn’t pick up the right frequencies. In my testing I’ve been able to reliably extract and match the ENF from other people’s example recordings, but not yet from my own. Even if a recording does contain the hum, it needs to be at least 10 minutes long in order to be date-able, and even then the matching process remains prone to false positives.
