  • installed [[gitdoc]] which does auto-pushing for me on save, like I had in [[obsidian]] -- hope it works, it sounds kind of great. pressing ctrl-alt-a to push to the Agora is fine but also is getting old.
  • thinking of installing also [[mermaid]] and playing with flowcharts/other diagrams in markdown. more pressing is to make tables work in the Agora though :)
• [[i am a strange loop]]
  • liking it thus far
  • serendipitously covers feedback loops (audio/video, mirrors), which I've been thinking of often as of late
  • inspired me to get [[rdp]] working on paramita to set up a [[nostromo]] <-> [[paramita]] loop

• If you can identify high [[energy]] [[nodes]] in a [[network]], you can solve for the most resource-efficient transportation routes with a [[slime mold]].
• Individuals in [[groups]] are [[isolation]] averse. This is part of what helps build [[consensus]]. When choosing between two seemingly equal choices, groups will default on the choice that has more individuals supporting it. If lead [[scouts]] all think the same thing, then [[information]] is not properly integrated. For this reason, it is useful for a group to have scouts with a [[diversity]] of information. [[Indecision]] among scouts results in an indirect poll of potential followers- since followers will only blindly follow if there is [[unity]] among scouts. Information spreads best if individuals with high informational breadth are spread evenly through the group.
• What decides [[salience]] in your [[attention]]? What [[marks]] do you look for to find a [[trail]] worth following? How can you leave such marks for others?
• To be an [[expert]] is to have gone through something and come out of it alive.
• [[Murder]] is an attempt to resolve [[uncertainty]]. collapsed:: true
  • So if you give someone a way to define you in a way that resolves their uncertainty without needing to kill you to resolve their uncertainty, you will not be killed.

• Time to crank through some bookmarks and [[fleeting notes]]… Enid the cat is joining me for this endeavour.
• This [[Decentralised Wiki]] appears to be centralised.

• Emergent outline: [[Corralling a chorus of voices]]
  • I think that the IndieWeb wiki would be a great case study for examining the claim that [[Combining multiple personal wikis provisions a better commons than one central wiki]].
    • There's multiple different voices in the community, sometimes agreeing, sometimes dissenting, and the wiki is an attempt to capture those views.
    • IndieWeb wiki is essentially attempting to corral a chorus of voices in to one space.
    • I occassionally see a criticism of something IndieWeb-related where the critiquer says something like 'I think IndieWeb is bad because they think X' and point at something in the wiki, with the underlying assumption being that everyone in the community thinks that.
    • The IndieWeb wiki sometimes gives the illusion of a unified opinion where it doesn't always exist.
    • The IndieWeb wiki seems like a good candidate for the distributed [[chorus of voices]] approach to a knowledge commons.
• Using [[Agora]] in a goal-oriented way would have interesting parallels to sites like [[StackOverflow]] or [[Quora]]. Discuss.
  • In which case, what differentiates Agora? I think partly the 'small tech', federated and data ownership aspects. It is more of a [[web 3.0]] stylee whereas these are centralised web 2 properties.
• [[Coronavirus]]
• #+begin_quote

Britain is heading into winter with the number of Covid cases remaining at a worryingly high level. At the same time, the nation’s vaccination programme appears to have stalled.

– UK might not be over the worst, scientists warn, as Covid case numbers stay h… #+end_quote

• Marx believed that the basis of value was social and not concrete, unlike prior thinkers
• fetishism shows that there’s more to the world than what is directly observable, and it must be overcome. fetishism could be seen as a critique of empiricism, you need more than empirical research to understand what’s going on
• it is more important to be a communist than a marxist
• the law of value is operating in china
• the Soviet union and China have turned out to not be emancipatory projects
• taking state power is only the first step, and any communist movement that holds power for its own sake is not a liberatory one
• those who say that china is communist because the bourgeoisie do are on the same side as the bourgeoisie. this attitude does not say anything worthwhile
