(A directory).

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!

        I just got distracted during a pomodoro but caught me in time to still be able to pull something off this round (I think). The first five minutes I planned dinner with my partner (?), essentially forgetting I had set an intention to focus. Then I spent four minutes doing planning for the next few pomodoros, which is productive but not in the spirit of the thing. Now I'll actually do [[the thing]], which in this case is making [[free, fair and alive]] resolve well in [[agora server]].

  • an [[algorithm]].

      • [[rest]] think about what you want to do in the next pomodoro or the next few pomodoros, write it down.
        • [[announce]] it if you're doing announcements, but be wary of the risk of announcing: your brain might feel content with having announced and not move on to actually doing it :)
      • [[set a timer]] of the kind you want and reinforce your [[intention]].
  • as of [[2022-06]] I've been doing more of them. they work, at runtime and for [[planning]].
  • doing these on [[2022-08-20]], doing these most days honestly.

Revolution

the institutional transformation of society by society

– [[Common: On Revolution in the 21st Century]]

I'm on board for a [[social revolution]] in the 21st century. My revolutionary flavour of choice is [[revolutionary socialism]]. [[Eco-socialism]], specifically, as [[to be a 21st century socialist is to be an eco-socialist]]. I am desiring of a revolution that leads to something akin to an [[ecological civilization]].

How to get from here to there?

revolution never occurs just through the behaviour of a particular group, however big or small. It happens because masses of people, many of whom have never considered the matter before, demand change and put themselves at the centre of political events

– [[Revolution in the 21st century - Chris Harman]]

Strategy: I hope that [[prefiguration]], education, agitation, and organisation ([[educate, agitate, organise]]) may lead us to a [[social tipping point]] that tips us towards harmony. I believe you need both some of the spontaneous network and the party form to make this happen. See [[Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal]]. A bit of both [[Climate Mao]] and [[Climate X]] if you will.

Tactics: With revolution there is the thorny question of violence and struggle. [[When bringing change we must minimise violence]]. I hope the minimum = 0 and that [[direct action]], [[civil disobedience]] and enacting positive alternatives in there here and now can suffice. Probably naive. But unlike in [[To Posterity]], I hope that we who wish to lay the foundations of kindness, can ourselves be kind.

Demands: TBC. see e.g. [[Half-Earth Socialism]], [[ecological civilization]].
