# 2022-07-02 - Read: [[For a Red Zoopolis]] - Very good. On [[eco-socialism]]. I like the description of a what [[abundance]] could actually mean. - Also introduced me to the idea of a [[Zoopolis]]… - I have oscillatory waves of activity on my garden. - Sometimes I have blocks of focus on the mechanics of how the garden works. - All the PKM, zettelkasten, smart notes, kind of stuff. - Then periods of time spent on the actual content. - Reading, taking notes, writing about politics, technology, the environment, etc. - Occasionally there is a moment of harmony between the waves where the two almost intersect. - e.g. critical theory of social media, how digital gardens, the Agora, fit in to that, etc. - Chat with Flancian - FlanciaCam - Flancian tour of America - Portland - homelessness - 'illegal' encampment - 30,000 in San Francisco - Housing First - is homelessness a complicated or complex system - if there are X people without homes, can we just give X homes to solve the problem? - [[David Peter Stroh, "Systems Thinking For Social Change"]] - [[Adam Day, States of Disorder, Ecosystems of Governance]] - similar to [[Seeing Like a State]] - too top down? - c.f. [[universal basic income]] - perhaps a simplistic approach, yet in present society money gives agency - walking and meditation - otter.ai - what about libre alternatives? - [[counterantidisintermediation]] - Listened: [[Matt Huber, "Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet"]] - More [[eco-socialism]]. - I listened while doing household chores so have less notes. But it's a good podcast. - Marxist approach - emphasis on class struggle, movement building, trade unionism.
