# Weeknotes W29 2022 tl;dr: A bit of action around [[systems thinking]], primarily as it relates to the [[environment]] and [[climate crisis]]. ## Sunday - Listening: [[Aaron Benanav on Associational Socialism and Democratic Planning]] - The [[biosphere]] is just one part of the Earth's [[climate system]]. - I've not had so much time for the stream of late. Most stuff is going in the garden. Of course, changes to the garden are a stream of themselves. I just mean I haven't been posting much to the social media streams, where others can more easily discover and interact with it. - Bright the hawk's flight on the empty sky. - [[A Wizard of Earthsea]]. - Yesterday we watched: - [[Minions: The Rise of Gru]] at the cinema. - [[Minority Report]] on TV. ## Monday - [[ProtonMail Android app takes a long time to load messages]] - Started [[Nature matters: systems thinking and experts]] ## Tuesday - Read: [[Humans need to value nature as well as profits to survive, UN report finds]] - [[Ipbes]] ## Wednesday - Lots of good stuff in [[A Systems Literacy Manifesto]] - [[systems literacy]] ## Thursday - What actually is a [[system]]? - [[Thinking in Systems]]. - [[Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance]]. [[System change]] > If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves. . . . There’s so much talk about the system. And so little understanding. - via [[Thinking in Systems]] - [[The Limits to Growth]] ## Saturday - [[Sand battery]] - [[energy storage]]
