I always assumed that, when people dedicated their work, they all first finished the thing and then wrote the dedication. That would mean dedicating the (say) book as a finished object, something concrete that one has compiled or created and can then 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 well meaning aspirations.
It seems appropriate, then, to dedicate this fuzzy set of ideas and aspirations to a fuzzily defined group instead of a concrete list of individuals.
To my friends.
May you be happy!
Look, an Agora!

- 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.

- Wikipedia says the [[Buddhāvataṃsaka-nāma-mahāvaipulya-sūtra]]is "erroneusly often referred to as the [[Avataṃsaka Sūtra]]", but elsewhere the latter is referred to as a valid short name
- 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?
- Now I notice the first word of the longer title is literally [[Buddavatamsaka]], Garland of Buddhas, so I really don't see why it says erroneously :) Made an edit.
