Technē is the ancient Greek word for craft, skill, and practical know-how: knowledge applied to making and doing.
It’s the root of technology: the tools, techniques, and systems we create to turn knowledge into capability.
Today, technology usually means the tools themselves. Technē is broader: the human craft, skill, and know-how behind them.
Bullish Technology. Bullish Technē.
to me.. the bullish ness we need most/1st: tech as means to undo our hierarchical listening to self/others/nature as global detox/re\set.. so we can org around legit needs
perpetuating non legit know-how/knowledge/whatever will only keep us perpetuating the whac-a-mole-ing ness of not-us ness.. perpetuating survival triage..
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
how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..
ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
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 a global detox leap/dance
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..
