This is a beautiful article on reductionism and holism in the context of permaculture by Chris Smaje — “Of consumers and permaculturists: or, win some, lose some”: chrissmaje.com/2014/11/of-con…

On the one hand we have “war” being the biggest contributed category on Wikipedia: twitter.com/prathyvsh/stat…

and on the other there are reports of tribes without words for “war”: greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/w…

which makes me wonder if war is a necessary byproduct of civilization.

tfw you are in the loop:

• Sits down to get work done
• Feels attention/energy depleted to get started
• Deep research on ADHD, procrastination, and flow
• 4 hours fly by and is in a worse state energy wise
• Starts for home planning how to do things differently tomorrow

So tempted to do a mathematician’s tools for thought with items like:

🪡 Buffon’s Needle
🧙 Witch of Agnesi
🔭 Eilenberg Telescope
⚱️ Polya’s Urn
🧀 Swiss cheese
🐄 Killing Field
🍾 Klein Bottle
📯 Gabriel’s Horn
🌭 Wiener’s Sausage
🌮 Hegelian Taco

I am sponsoring Elliot on Github and you should check out his work: github.com/vezwork And may be if you like his work, you should too! He is doing some of the most interesting work in UI design expanding its frontiers one small experiment at a time.
