• [[Flancia Meet 2022-01-08]]

• [[Maya]] has collected our chat on [[Wheel of the Year]] and related stuff here - https://maya.land/fragments/neil-wheel-of-the-year/

• Reading the news, various claims considered:

  • [[Democracies are inherently unstable and susceptible to ruin by aggressive, skilled demagogues]]
  • [[There is a latent fascist waiting to emerge in all humans]]
  • [[The menace of Trumpism is darker now than it ever was before]]
  • [[Britain is better off without Bristol's monument to Colston]]

• Continuing the addition of [[epistemic disclosure]] to notes in my digital garden, I've been adding an 'agreement vector' to any claims that I make.

  • I started using the possible answers from Magic 8-Ball for this. e.g. "[[Without a doubt]]", "[[Ask again later]]", "My sources say no".
  • Because: a) it's funny; b) they contain both direction and magnitude of agreement, which is handy; c) I prefer to have backlinks to a phrase rather than a number.

• [[Querying org-roam]]

• [[There is no such thing as knowledge]]

• Listening: [[The Political Economy of Solarpunk (with Andrew Dana Hudson)]]

  • [[Solarpunk is about technologies that de-abstract human relationships with the material world]]
  • Yass.

• [[Reality is identical with divinity]]
