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]]
