Narration/storytelling seems like a good term that spans those scales?
Yah, pretty crowded field of candidates for the two spot. I think I lean towards something around communication.
GM. Read more about organism's tendency towards complexity in the tail-end of The Matter with Things V2 and about the groundwork laid for semiconductor supply chains in Chip Wars.
GM. New week, new reads. I kicked off Chip War and Health Communism, and returned to v2 of The Matter with Things after an ebook detour.
AFAICT compression-like knowing precedes verbalisation/language.
GM. The final stretches of Everything Flows—inc a processual perspective on cancer—as well as a movement session and a first visit to our allotment.
Not tech-aligned but Dan John and Original Strength are incredibly orientated to longevity.
I’ve also been thinking that, in the age of a fragmented web with AI as the spanning intermediaries, Extremely Offline people are going to be valuable. Can’t articulate why; a hunch. But something to do with their insulation from web shenanigans and their illegibility as entities in the modern world.
GM. Read some more Everything Flows; walked the dogs; listened to the seven powers episode of Acquired; built out 80% of a skeleton for async/sync discovery of a new product.
GM. Read a couple more papers from Everything Flows—inc. the linked one about processes <> organisation <> organism. Also listened to an old Tech Won't Save Us episode about O'Shea's Future Histories book. https://academic.oup.com/book/27525/chapter/197496261
GM. Completed Mystics, Masters, Saints and Sages, which turned out to be an admirable attempt at communicating enlightenment experiences.
GM. Changed pace today and started with some Foucault's Pendulum and a segment from Hobb's Liveship Traders—both of which are holiday-induced diversions from my focus on comics and graphic novels.
GM. No reading this AM—sad face—but I am finishing up The NFL episode of Acquired. https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/the-nfl
GM. Read about organisms-as-agents in Everything Flows and a few more mini-bios in Mystics, Masters, Saints and Sages. https://academic.oup.com/book/27525/chapter/197495513
GM. Reading about general process theory (not typical process theory) in Everything Flows.
Set point theory but for FUD? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_point_theory
And then a few more mini-bios from Mystics, Masters, Saints and Sages.
Good morning. Read another section of Everything Flows. This one on genidentity, David Hull and the possibility of using immunology to delineate the identity of an organisation. https://academic.oup.com/book/27525/chapter/197493740 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10539-005-8621-6
Good morning. Read about biology's issues with identity and persistence in Everything Flows and enjoyed a few more mini-bios from Mystics, Masters, Saints and Sages.
I originally planned to trundle through the entire backlog. I’m at mid 30s currently and it’s only 2018; looking for seminal historical pods to make sure I hit.
Good morning. Read a few more sections from Mystics, Masters, Saints and Sages.
