I always assumed that, when people dedicated their work, they all first finished the thing and then wrote the dedication. That would mean dedicating (say) a book as a finished object; something concrete that one has put together and can be offered with few reservations.

Belatedly I've come to realize I'm not that kind of person, so I find myself dedicating a draft instead. Writing these lines as I write them now means dedicating a set of ideas first, and my clumsy implementation of these ideas second -- the latter amounting currently to little more than my well meaning but lofty aspirations.

It seems appropriate, then, to dedicate this fuzzy unfinished thing to a loosely defined group instead of a concrete list of individuals.

To my friends!

-- Flancian, mostly written 2019-2020 (with only light editing since).

7 -- Open Letter to the Agora

X -- [The mines](/mine) (dormant blog)

Y -- Other projects

Thank you for reading; if you liked what you found here, consider joining Flancia Meet some day.

May you be happy!

- A [[Flancian]] is someone who believes we'll [[defeat Moloch]] one way or another.
- It is through the [[kind]], [[rational]], [[distributed]] use of the [[Commons]] we'll manage to leave [[Moloch]] in the dust if we have to.
- The [[Agora]] is a [[knowledge commons]] we're trying to build with the intention to help [[disentangle Moloch]] from humanity.

  - c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddh%C4%81vata%E1%B9%83saka_S%C5%ABtra and https://www.britannica.com/topic/Avatamsaka-sutra, maybe the rare case in which Wikipedia is more conservative than Brittanica?
