aka: left to own devices ness
huge huge huge to the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen:
the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of that global detox leap/dance
findings from on the ground ness deep dive on why we need tech w/o judgment
ie: the dance won’t dance unless/until it’s 1\ all of us 2\ legit free
nothing to date (ever since that day) has gotten to that root of problem
legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..

Ingenious homes in unexpected places
In the center of Caracas, Venezuela, stands the 45-story “Tower of David,” an unfinished, abandoned skyscraper. But about eight years ago, people started moving in. Photographer Iwan Baan shows how people build homes in unlikely places, touring us through the family apartments of Torre David, a city on the water in Nigeria, and an underground village in China. Glorious images celebrate humanity’s ability to survive and make a home — anywhere.
Photographer Iwan Baan captures the many ways people shape their shared built environment — from glossy starchitecture to handmade homes.
what’s fascinating is what happens when architects and planners leave
people create their own space, remarkable to see their design decisions (none with ed in architecture/design)
no prep.. no train.. to me.. that goes for everything.. if legit sabbatical ish transition
organic and intuitive creation
in most places.. govt completely absent.. so use what they have (found materials) in amazing ways
graeber unpredictability/surprise law et al.. graeber min\max law et al..
imagine… what these ingenious communities could create themselves and how highly particular their solutions would be if given basic infrastructures they could tap into
aka: a sabbatical ish transition
generic.. simply doesn’t work as answer to individual needs of people
esp once we get back/to legit needs and then to graeber unpredictability/surprise law et al..
need 1st/most: means (nonjudgmental expo labeling) to undo hierarchical listening – so we can hear what’s already on each heart as global detox in order to org around legit needs
adding page while taking in valley of the commons.. specifically voc – charlie fisher – knowing at boundaries: land ownership mapping as design approach
