Isabelle Stengers posits that intellectual property separates communities from the concrete collective intelligence that makes communities "think, imagine, and cooperate". Once enclosed, that knowledge can be abstracted and integrated into the knowledge economy, where it's used to train humans and machines in disembodied thinking.[^1] The incursion of the planetary ecological crisis, the irruption of Gain in Stengers' terms, makes that abstracted intelligence impracticable to situate environmental action into the lived realities of communities. One could posit that the same is done by the technocapitalist infrastructures that separate users be that in the processes of production, communication or social reporduction from the understanding of the ubiqutous technological systems that we inhabit and ability to intervene into these systems.[^2]
