• I take back what I said about [[Subconscious]] being completely absent of politics - there is a nod towards them by Gordon in [[Tools for thought: the first 300,000 years]]:

  • "We have planetary challenges ahead: climate change, global pandemics, mass extinctions, increasing geopolitical tension… We need to learn how to think together, with our planet, as a whole planet."
  • Still a bit weak ("let's think together" is not much of a position), but at least there's a recognition of environmental and social problems ("with our planet", "as a whole planet").

• Read: [[Decentralized and rooted in care: envisioning the digital infrastructures of the future]].

  • Coming out of discussions at the recent RightsCon in Costa Rica. Could be a source of another [[qualitative system dynamics model]] for [[Reclaim the stacks]]. Has a good list of initiatives, many from Latin America.

• [[The Magic of Small Databases]] is interesting to me from the perspective of sharing my catalogue of initiatives for [[Reclaim the stacks]].

• [[Digital technologies are an important part of movement infrastructure]]

  • A claim on the [[Numun Fund]] homepage.

• The qualitative system dynamics model used in [[A leverage points analysis of a qualitative system dynamics model for climate change adaptation in agriculture]] was built using a triangulation process from individual models. I'll read more about that, seems kind of what I'm trying to do in [[Reclaim the stacks]].
