• We had a [[flancia meet]] this morning - with live collaborative note-taking via hedgedoc that automatically pulls the notes back in to the Agora as a wikilinked node. Low-key a seriously great feature of Agora.

  • I think that a good use case of Agora for [[affinity group]]s to coordinate on problems is to coalesce around a node that already has subnodes by each member of the group, and then real-time co-create something approaching a consensus on that in the shared stoa document. (And probably iterate over this subnodes/[[stoa]] process.)

• There's a thread on the Fediverse about [[federated wikis]] that I want to respond to.

• [[Hobbesianism]]

• I like [[cross-disciplinary learning]] as it is a way of harnessing [[tangential thinking]].

  • Explains one reason I am drawn to [[cybernetics]] I guess. I know it's one of the criticisms levelled against it, also - it's so cross-disciplinary that it can be abstracted to the point of meaningless. But I like it as a kind of [[Oblique Strategy]] as opposed to an attempt at a theory of everything.

• [[Expanding national parks and protected areas will not be enough to halt the destruction of nature]]. Say scientists. Seems kind of obvious but I think it's a riposte to what the UN convention on biological diversity is proposing.

• [[org-roam]] v2.2.0 is released. Time to update and see what breaks!

• [[Maya]] has an article related to [[Oblique Strategies]] and [[tarot for thought]] - introducing randomness into chaos: culture, oblique strategies, and tarot for… (shared by Maya in hypothesis annotation to my journal from yesterday, thanks Maya!)

• I wonder out loud if there is any linkage between [[Law of Requisite Variety]] and the [[pluriverse]], [[Nested-I]], [[Ubuntu Rationality]] stuff from [[Free, Fair and Alive]].

  • e.g. if I think of the [[Agora]] / [[FedWiki]] and [[Wikipedia]] contrast, and the claim that [[Multiple voices are better than one]], then I think that multiple voices is more variety, and then more able to provide the variety needed to adequately navigate complex questions of coordination. And the flattening of voices in to one is an unhelpful reduction of variety.
  • On the flip side, too much variety leads to a [[cacophony of voices]].
  • I can not claim to know enough about either space to know if this is bollocks or not. Gut says worth exploring.

• Listening: [[Platform Socialism and Web3]]. Great stuff (the platform socialism more of interest to me than the web3, but chat around that is interesting too.)

• Listening: [[Nathan Schneider, Pt. 2 (Blockchain Governance)]]

  • [[New technologies are more likely to amplify the inequalities and the injustices of a society than to undo them]]
  • [[Structurally decentralized technologies do not guarantee decentralized power]].

lessons from phd

https://austinhenley.com/blog/lessonsfrommyphd.html#managers

• lead or be led - actively advocate for yourself or you won't get what you want out of your experiences. you have far more information to determine how to prioritize than they do about you.

• topic sentences. write the first for each paragraph, them flesh all of the bodies out.

• managers are IO machines. your best use of them isn't to prove that you are productive; rather, it's to show up with something to answer questions and receive feedback

  • assume they forgot the last meeting

  • bring things to talk about and a goal

  • 3-4 sentences refreshing everyone

  • what did you do? what worked? what did not? what do you do next?

  • have something tangible - a demo or visual aid

• daily progress tracking - a feq quick bullet points to summarize what you did that day, every day. trace progress towards goals!

• When I'm first learning about some new thing, X, I get a lot more value in someone I know saying "I like X" or "I dislike X" or "I'm interested in X" or "I something X" than a detailed objective description of what X is.
