Not staying super long, but I’m attending a wedding and visiting a few museums I’ve never visited before.
I slept badly tonight, and the day before, due to different reasons — the first night it was due to trip prep, the second it was due to a (surprise, as usual) allergy attack that kept me up/very uncomfortable until late. Happy to have made it to the flight only looking slightly like a cat (because of how my eyes swell, I get a bit of a feline look for hours-days after an attack).
Listening to [[Lex Fridman]] with [[Jimbo Wales]] on topics like the history of wikipedia. Very interesting as most Lex conversations I’ve heard as of late!
I’m back in the Agora, finally :) I took a more prolonged break from journaling as I moved with [[Lady Burup]] temporarily to [[AG]]‘s place (she is very kind!) and I adapted my routine to that space; also I’ve been busy at work and with other projects.
Thank you [[neil]] for keeping the journaling section of the Agora alive and interesting!
I reworked a bit the Agora’s [[README.md]], which is what is rendered at the Agora root URL — e.g. https://anagora.org . Hopefully it’s more cogent and informative without being overwhelming. But you tell me :)
I like [[Kai Heron]], and I’ve found the debate between various strands of [[ecosocialist]] thought very interesting.
But I also lament the time spent disagreeing amongst ourselves on the left.
Is it ultimately useful? What if all this intellectual effort could be spent on bringing about a transition away from capitalism, and towards ecosocialism?
I don’t know - perhaps the debate is contributing to that transition, in part, in a roundabout. And I suppose that if we don’t know what we stand for, we can’t meaningfully work towards it.
Not sure if this has happened just recently, or I’ve been living with it for a long time, but: case sensitive node search in [[org-roam]] was starting to bug me.
Turns out that it’s [[Helm]] that is doing it, when set to the ‘smart’ completion algorithm.
I just need to (setq helm-case-fold-search t) and all is good - much smoother completion experience.

Fascinating discussion. Post Capitalism. Post here not meaning ‘after’ but ‘in relation to’. Pluralistic. Past and present examples: Zapatistas. Rojava. Indigenous worldviews. Relational ontologies and OntoShift.
