• Listening: [["We can't rely on climate catastrophe to start the revolution" interview with Kai Heron]]

• [[2022-09-17]] happened, it went by almost too fast with laundry and cleaning the house and such things to do on a Saturday :)
• Late journal; I slept very little (3h) and was low energy (go figure), I felt depressed but that got fixed by a 1h nap (my naps are usually only 30' tops).
  • I'm glad to be here finally!
  • I was active on the [[fediverse]] though.
• #push [[pomodoros]]
  • #1 fix agora twitter bot, try to finally [[opt in writes]] with this
    • Twitter limits keep making this harder than it should be.
    • While I wait for quota to try this, I consider... what I write below.
    • #2 then do the fediverse (that bot is working currently)
  • See [[twitter agora bot]] for next actions.

I should create a second account for the Agora on Twitter, @an_agora is having many problems. If nothing else I'll use it to test; the fact that I don't have a test account makes it so that the bot is broken half the time because I don't have a release process for meaningfully testing changes. It's pretty terrible. For [[agora server]] I have dev.anagora.org and a local environment, but not for bots in [[agora bridge]].

Another thought: sqlite in [[agora bridge]] will really help with this, as bots could just query the graph stored in [[agora]] (root repo) instead of having to rely on Twitter for all state in the social graph.

This leads, again, to the question: should we just use [[moa]] as [[agora bridge]]?

      • as per the top answer in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1403665/no-sound-output-devices-listed-after-upgrade-from-21-10-to-22-04
    • Also I had to fix sources.list by hand again before being able to do-release-upgrade because I missed the "upgrade window" for 21.10 so it was completely gone from repositories (?).
    • Both of these are very surprising to me, in this day and age. I don't quite get in particular how a less technical user should be expected to update sources.list by hand because they didn't upgrade for half a year or so?
• I finally gave [[chezmoi]] templates a try. They are fine.

During the week I read [[Wolfram]]'s article on the [[Wolfram Physics Project]], as recommended by [[xiq]], and I enjoyed it. I also re-read [[Scott Aaronson]]'s review of [[A New Kind of Science]]; I think it still holds and seems to apply to the project at large.

I sometimes [[procrastinate]] on important things, does that make me a [[jerk]]? I think maybe it does, and I should [[curb my bullshit]].

People don't seem to be, on the average or even at high percentile, nearly as interested on the [[revolution]]] as I am. Does that make me a [[jerk]] if I practice it, which includes talking about it? I'm not sure, but I don't think it does.

• I wonder if I should let [[agora protocol]] go, let the chips fall as they may, move beyond it which could mean leave it behind (sometimes), write light as a feather if I have to.
  • (I'll take the [[path]], I'll cross that [[bridge]] if I have to.)

So I asked a few friends what they thought of the Revolution as it relates to the [[Flancia]] project; I'm interested on their take.

• Back from a short city break to [[Manchester]]. Was a lot of fun. We packed a lot in.

• Read: [[Revolutionary Strategies on a Heated Earth]]

  • Finished reading it earlier today, spread over the course of a few days. Recollections:
  • starts with a convincing overview of how catastrophic 'business as usual', green capitalism, etc, will be for the Earth system.
  • covers the various different aspects of the crisis (sounds like polycrisis as per what Nick Dyer-Witheford in [[Nick Dyer-Witheford on Biocommunism]])
  • asserts that only a rupture from capitalism is sufficient to avert disaster, and it is needed soon.
  • so: starting from a position of [[eco-socialism]]
  • Zeller then continues on to make own contribution to present debate as to what should [[eco-socialist]] strategies be.
  • doesn't like Malm's take on Leninism. Says it has a misguided stress on violence, and I think also that it misrepresents war communism.
  • seems big on the idea of [[dual power]]. (At multiple scales). I'm interested to explore more what is the difference between ideas of Leninist dual power and libertarian socialist dual power.
  • advocates for [[socialisation]] of energy, transportation, and finance. Socialisation being the first step to large-scale transformation.
    • not sure what is the strategy for actually socialising things though? Is that what hopes dual power can achieve?

• I shoud reread [[The Next Revolution]] to compare and contrast with the recent [[eco-socialism]] stuff.

• Doing a couple [[pomodoro for the revolution]] at Agora Meet.

  • copy highlights from [[Revolutionary Strategies on a Heated Earth]]
  • as above

• New claims:

  • [[Capitalism is the cause of the climate crisis]]
    • Not a particularly new or profound one, but a pretty foundational one for [[eco-socialism]] and thus worth documenting.
  • [[Net zero is part of a global imperialist climate policy]]
    • Don't know if I agree, but interesting and worth exploring.

• [[Cuba is the most sustainably developed country in the world]]

  • This is actually no longer accurate. Costa Rica is currently top.

• [[yesterday]] was a [[lowlight]], but it's all relative of course. I'm still very lucky.
• Planning the weekend now, feeling much better :)

  • we advanced the paperwork related to our [[separation]]
• [[agora]]
  • [[agora pkg chapter]] is in a bit of a state of disarray, would like to focus on [[editing]] today
  • I needs to solve "docs sync", and given that editing will take place on Docs and it's the next milestone, I'm thinking at some point I should move the source of truth to Docs and #pull https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DXJRDh9Ss5VCRBi3oirDw9d7yjn3H2hMqfN2ETTyjIc/edit pull
    • -> [[agora docs import]] how to tackle this?
      • is there some script that takes a docs URL and, if readable, dumps markdown? or dumps it in any format really?
        • likely
        • #push [[agora docs import]]
