Marek Poliks is a researcher in the philosophy of technology. He’s based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Marek and his primary research partner Roberto Alonso Trillo (HKBU) have been working to situate deep learning tools as endosymbiotic reproductive infrastructure (inorganic vehicles through which biological, epistemological, and social information is encoded, subject to contingent processes, and transmitted). Marek’s strategic leadership background in the tech sector affords him a distinct perspective within the philosophy space, one immersed in the material mechanics of highly-scaled software architecture and its financialization.

in conversation with 邊界_RG

publication

(...)In this conversation for 邊界_RG (Biānjiè Research Group), Marek Poliks and Roberto Alonso Trillo discuss Exocapitalism: economies with absolutely no limits (Becoming Press) as a thesis about capital grasped “from above”: not necessarily a new historical phase, but an ontological recognition of capital as an abstract operational object whose logic is not exhausted by any human-centered discourse.   

Against libidinal-economy readings that anchor capitalism in seduction, ideology, or desire, they argue that anything capable of abstraction can “do” capitalism, so what looks like a shift from spectacle to logistics is rather a relocation of where human experience intersects with a system never primarily oriented toward us. Their key vocabulary—lift, drag, fold, and the last mile—frames capitalism as a tendency toward compounding abstraction (lift), while states attempt to slow and “thicken” abstraction into governable surfaces (drag) through legibility regimes. Yet this doesn’t amount to control so much as a clumsy courtship that increasingly yields incoherent, unusable data and leaves states managing downstream policing, insurance, and remediation: the retrospective consumption and passive production of violence rather than any command over capital’s mechanisms.
