Just a friendly reminder that replanting your own seeds and seed swapping is an act of agroecological resistance to the corporate machines that want to own all of the genetic strains and make you dependent

The term 'degrowth' is uninspiring because it uses a negative definition not a positive one. It is very hard to be inspired by a negative. Imagine if we framed weekends as 'not-working time'. Also: growth is not bad. Unchecked exponential growth is. See: growing a limb vs cancer.

As I prep for the first pilot parts program call, I'm contemplating the way our parts manifest in the outside world. If we haven't done the inner work of purposefully aligning our parts, we risk undermining ourselves by replicating the patterns we want to change.

Markets may allocate discretionary purchases, but the core of healthcare is not discretionary.
Fundamentally, an unconscious person in cardiac arrest in the back of an ambulance *cannot* send price-signals by shopping for an ER. 10/

Ending those practices *will* make marginal improvements to US healthcare, but only marginal ones. The problem with health-care isn't that it's an imperfect market - it's that we treat it as a market at *all*. 9/

The downsides of a world with billionaires in it are well-rehearsed: billionaires can convert their vast wealth to power, and use that power to turn their whims and pet theories into policy failures that affect millions - or even billions - of people. 1/
ALT The cover of the Penguin edition of Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged.' The statue of Atlas has been removed. Lying across the full width of the cover is a golden-tinged smashed Roman statue head of an unknown king, his face half-gone and his nose missing.

The future is already here... Just not everywhere. What happens when more of us understand:
- Lord of the Flies is not how humans actually work. Just dark imaginings.
- evolution does not equal progress. What is criteria?
- cooperation is the rule, we focus on exceptions & risks – at Illinois, USA

News flash - its not an "Unconference" if you are setting the agenda with session names and topics ahead of time.
I'm sorry it just isn't and stop using the term wrong.
