• Reading: [[Cybernetic Revolutionaries]]

  • [[There are different strands of cybernetics]]

• Listened: [[Nathan Schneider on Cooperatives and Digital Governance]]. Brilliant. So much great stuff in Nathan's work. Some of my takeaways: Resistance movements need alternative building. Coops can be a means towards economic justice and social justice. Coops can go awry without a culture of commoning. Incubators and exit to community for growing coops.

Distinct lack of principles when it comes to the governance of most software commons. The culture and the tools suck. Feminist economics can help a lot.

• Should be good. New book on [[the Preston Model]], [[municipal socialism]], [[community wealth building]], co-written by [[Matthew Brown]], the councillor driving a lot of it in [[Preston]]. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/6
