14:03 wonderful reading

https://griefbacon.substack.com/p/love-songs "On Saturday there were fireflies in the park." The introductory passage of the article is wonderful! as is the reflectino on music - home video and the natinoal. "Home Video is an album of love songs which is to say it’s an album about the past." Love the perspectivn that this essay takes on Dacus' work, relationships and life.

• Read: [[The Hammer - Bill Gates wants your money]]

  • [[Bill Gates]] and his climate fund - it's not a benevolent gift, it's an investment with an expected return.
  • There is a [[Bezos Earth Fund]]!?

• Picking out some choice quotes from [[The Left Hand of Darkness]].

• Read: Working Around Post Kinds Plugin Lock-In – Interdependent Thoughts

  • I need to do something like this, too.

• Perhaps obvious but a nice little lightbulb flash for me, was that [[systems thinking]] appears to generally be a recent incarnation / labelling of (a particular part of?) [[cybernetics]]. Makes reading on cybernetics feel less like learning a dead language, and makes systems thinking feel a bit more weighty.

• Whenever I get that stab of feeling like there's too many ideas to explore, too many books to read, too little time to do it in, I remind myself not to turn to productivity systems, efficiency improvements and the like, but to [[knowledge sharing]] and [[communities of practice]], and remind myself that you don't need to know it all, knowing things is not just an individual pursuit but a collective endeavour.

• [[Biology of love]]

• Listened: [[]].

  • Politics is failing our home, the [[biosphere]], massively. The biosphere and climate change needs to be at the centre of [[governance]]. [[Systems thinking]] is a means to do this.
  • Enjoyed this. Sounds like a good book.

• I wonder if I should be using [[Org Cite]] in some way.
