      Summary - This is a very insightful paper on futuring and how activity in the present realizes imagined fictions, which don't yet exist, and bring them into being in our (future) present - One thing to note is that there is a huge swath of human activity not explicitly discussed which is intrinsically futuring, and that is the birth of any new idea in general, including scientific, mathematical and technological. - Human progress is the sum total of countless individual futuring projects that imagine some fictitious, nonexistent idea and work to incrementally bring it into existence.

      summary - This a a paper that frames design and innovation, - among the most ubiquitous and important of all human activities - as a branch of futuring - Design and innovation bring something new into existence - That which is designed - is that which is imagined - is that which is not yet real - is that which is therefore a fiction - Innovation brings the fictional and imagined into reality through mobilizing and coordinating social behavior that realizes the imagined future. - This is especially critical as our species needs to rapidly imagine and bring about an aspirational future that mitigates our existential polycrisis

      meeting notes - see below

      ANNIKA: - inner work helps us stay sane dealing with the chaos in our work - healing is not fixing - hope is a muscle, go to the "hope gym" - not just personal but collective

      EDWIN: - inner WORK - constant, continuous work - how do you scale these things? Is it wrong term to use? Mechanistic? - how do we move to global impact? We don't know yet

      LOUISE - inner work saved my - orientate inside away from trauma architecture - colonized and colonizer energies - they longed to be in union - be with all parts of myself - allow alchemy on the outside to the inside - liberate myself from my trauma structures and unfold myself - we cannot be a restorer unless we do that inner work - systeming - verbalizing / articulating it - we are all actors in creating the system - question - where am i systeming from? - answer - I am an interbeing - Am i systeming from the interbeing space or the trauma architecture space? - Where am I seeding from? What energy do I put into my work? - system is not concrete and fixed but fluid - fielding - bringing different human fields together - I can work with hatred and rage on the inside and transmute it so that I don't add to it on the outside

      JOHN: - stuck systems and lens of trauma can help us get unstock - 70% of people have experienced trauma - trauma is part of the human experience - people make up systems - so traumatized people makes traumatized systems - fight, flight and freeze happens at both levels - at system level, its fractally similiar - disembodied from wisdom - in state of survival and fear - fixing things - until we deal with the trauma in the people, we will continue to have traumatized systems - More work won't help if it's coming from traumatized people

      EDWIN - incremental change - something holding us back - built upon these traumas - Economic metrics are out of touch with how the trauma affects systems - Journey - awareness first, then understanding and inner transformation and finally change - Discussion with funders - most are still stuck in old paradigm of metrics, audits, etc - this comes with trauma because we have no trust on who is on the other side - a big part of the system is built on mistrust, creates more gaps between us - need to become anti-fragile

      ANNIKA - Funders have lack of trust because inner work hasn't been done on both sides - As a funder, we really try to create a space of trust - Think of the language we use to be inclusive - How do we make inner work a part of the operating system of how we work? - We looked at 500 mental health organizations over the years - It's so urgent now that we align our work

      EDWIN - We have a lot of half-formed thoughts - It's very complex and nobody has cracked it - We have a phrase at Axum that we move at the speed of trust - To do something different, they need to trust you - When I think of the discussions I've had with heads of states and CEOs, these meaningful inner ideas are not often brought up

      LAURA - When there's no trust, even if there is no danger, the trauma is still brought up - We need to shift our lens on trauma and become aware of when trauma emerges - quote - inner condition of the intervener determines the success of intervention - Bill O'Brien

      LOUISE - I work a lot with nervous system and body system - We need small changes in our nervous system - If I try to do something big, I can re-traumatize myself - We also have a collective nervous system - Restore love to all parts of your system first - Make friends with trees to seed actions from union

      JOHN - Become aware of my own trauma triggers - When we see an outsized reaction, we can guess that person is undergoing personal trauma - A settled body settles bodies - If we are calm, it helps calm others

      LAURA - Feel where we don't feel grounded, where we shame ourselves, feel compassion there

      QUESTIONS - See below

      • mushrooms and ayuahuasca - is it helpful?

      • A lot of women forget the feminine energy to climb the ladder and get sick?

      • backlash - feels like white men were being pushed to do work they weren't ready to do so now reclaiming their comfortable traumatized space

      • how early do we start to teach this knowledge?

      • How do organizations hold space for the enormous trauma that the US govt is manufacturing. We need to build this practice into organizations to help deal with the onslaight

      • Youth are so hungry for being in the presence of others who are wise, compassionate. We can't move faster than the speed of trust but it needs to become accessible.

      ANSWERS - See below

      LOUISE - Organizations have a huge role to play at this time - We want to reconfigure and transform the trauma - Deep forming teams in organizations to help transform - Trauma fields want to come through human nervous systems to transform - We are both feminine and masculine and the masculine wounding is very important and needs to find the feminine - We cannot go away by ourselves to heal from patriarchy, colonialism energies

      ANNIKA - In terms of how we fund, can we fund differently? We need to fund these spaces

      EDWIN - I sit on board of Wellbeing project - changemakers go through burnout - how do we prevent this and create a container that can sustain them? - Weve brought 20,000 people in summits who have affected 3 million people. Please come to the Hurts summit in Czec and Wellbeing project - When pendulum swings back from individual space, we should be like a spiral

      JOHN - In systems change spaces, trauma is seldom spoken of. - Systems work will not work if we ignore trauma - This is critical

      LOUISE - Arundhati Roy - Another world is not only possible but is on its way. On a quiet day, I can hear it breathing.

    1. The goal of Lucia v3 was to be the easiest and cleanest way to implement database-backed sessions in your projects. It didn't have to be a library. I just assumed that a library will be the answer. But I ultimately came to conclusion that my assumption was wrong. I don't see this change as me abandoning the project. In fact, I think it's a step forward. If implementing sessions wasn't easy, I wouldn't be deprecating the package. But why wouldn't a library be the answer? It seems like a such an obvious answer. One word - database. I talked about how database adapters were a significant complexity tax to the library. I think a lot of people interpreted that as maintenance burden on myself. That's not wrong, but the bigger issue is how the adapters limit the API. Adapters always felt like a black box to me as both an end user and a maintainer. It's very hard to design something clean around it and makes everything clunky and fragile, especially when you need to deal with TypeScript shenanigans.

    1. rooted in the very systems of oppression we teach our students about: white supremacy, settler colonialism, and the intersections of racial capitalism, imperialism, and patriarchy. For practitioners and students who’ve actually taken an Ethnic Studies class, such allegations are confusing, because many of us have found Ethnic Studies to be sites of empowerment, love, joy, and discovery, having made life-changing impacts for generations of students.

      ES instead of teaching hate, teaches the opposite of so. Here is a duality in that the people who look at the study find it confusing and indoctrinated. While the students find it empowering and useful knowledge to understand how and why of life? If we stand to ignore these two question then we fail to exist as a human race. In some manner daily more there is more of us as then those that spread hate. the professor said “WE STILL HAVE THE POWER”

    1. Most companies where I worked have a history of rebuilding their applications every 3 to 5 years, some even 2 years. This has extremely high costs, it has a major impact on how successful the application is, and therefore how successful the company is, besides being extremely frustrating for developers to work with a messy code base, and making them want to leave the company. A serious company, with a long-term vision, cannot afford any of it, not the financial loss, not the time loss, not the reputation loss, not the client loss, not the talent loss.

Bringing the possibility that their husband might even leave them if no sexual pleasure was offered to them, with Lysistrata's efforts, they agree over wine, allowing this treaty to commence.

      comment - from Latin intentionem (nominative intentio) "a stretching out, straining, exertion, effort; attention," noun of action from intendere "to turn one's attention," literally "to stretch out" - I'm not sure that - the "stretching towards" of attention and - the "stretching out" of intention - conveys a clear relationship between them - I understand the "stretching towards" of attention but don't get the sense of "stretching out" as it applies to intention - I think of energy and purpose but stretching out doesn't seem aligned to it

      question - intention - as stretching out - I don't understand how intention can be described as stretching out. I understand it as having a goal or purpose - Stretching out is perhaps alluding to a FUTURE action - to get hold of something you don't presently have so you are stretching out - Perhaps more of a literal hand movement - stretching out your hand to get something you don't currently have - whereas stretching towards is alluding more to something in the present, although it seems they can both be used interchangeably for reaching for an object not currently in your possession: - the baby stretched his hand towards the apple - the baby stretched out his hands to grasp the apple

      quote - AI: from tool b to agent - Roman Yampolskiy - (see below)

      • Historically, AI was a tool, like any other technology. Whether it was good or bad was up to the user of that tool.
      • You can use a hammer to build a house or kill someone.
      • The hammer is not in any way making decisions about it.
      • With advanced AI, we are switching the paradigm
        • **from tools
        • to agents**.
      • The software becomes capable of making its own decisions, working independently, learning, self-improving, modifying.
      • How do we stay in control?
      • How do we make sure the tool doesn’t become an agent that does something we don’t agree with or don’t support?
      • Maybe something against us

    1. Over a 10-year period, up until three weeks before his death, we exchanged 150 letters. After Oliver passed away, I had to find a way to handle my sadness. So, I revisited all our letters and wrote a new book, Dear Oliver: An Unexpected Friendship with Oliver Sacks, as a tribute to exploration, letter-writing, friendship, and Oliver Sacks.

    2. when you want to use Google, you go into Google search, and you type in English, and it matches the English with the English. What if we could do this in FreeSpeech instead? I have a suspicion that if we did this, we'd find that algorithms like searching, like retrieval, all of these things, are much simpler and also more effective, because they don't process the data structure of speech. Instead they're processing the data structure of thought

      key insight - 6 embedded levels of individual / collective gestalt, - first level is from individual quanta to collective atoms - second level is from individual atom to collective molecules - third is from individual molecule too collective living cells - fourth is from individual living cells too collective multicellular living organism - fifth is from individual multi-cellular organism to collective culture at local level - sixth is from individual local culture to to collective trans-national alliances - At each level except the first, a perspective shift occursc in which the collective is seen from a different lens as an individual

      key insight - leverage point of the 99% - our numbers - The trans-national companies power is in their capital - The trans-national alliances leverage point is our large numbers of people - Through our strength in numbers, we can mobilize trans-alliance resources such as human innovation resources, which most local actors are lacking in

      examples - closed source IP externalises cost - closed source circular economy is much more challenging than open source circular economy because - if inputs are kept secret and proprietary, reuse of End of life products are difficult to break down and reuse as input in a re-manufacturing process - closed IP creates fragmented and completing de facto standards that make interoperability impossible

    1. This lack of recognition is what I think ails the contemporary doctrinaire left. It does that because it has over time adopted the prejudices of capitalist liberalism, which sees only abstract individuals, not people rooted in histories and territories. By failing to protect the working majorities, the somewheres, it drives them to the populist right, and it does this because they are 'nowheres', unrooted. It is precisely this un-rootedness, this up-rootedness, that makes them blind to the issues of the somewheres, and it is also what drives identity politics.

    1. In the Buddhist world we even in, in a way you can say you're always dying. You're already dying. So just thinking about it in those terms: what's the cultural impact of thinking about life as death, actually—as a process that maybe never ends?

    2. I'll talk about some cases in a moment— there's very sudden decomposition when the "tukdam" ends. You can have people who have been in tukdam for 27 days and then on the— as one of the cases that we're gonna be publishing on soon— and on the 28th day there's like very dramatic decomposition. Just boom! It seems to happen.

      for - Buddhism - Tibetan - Thukdam - can end suddenly and dramatically - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D. Dunne

    3. And this is one of the big problems right now— [pointing at the slide] tukdam regularly occurs in non-experts, right? You find, you know, people who are not great trained tantric practitioners who know all the commentaries and, you know, who aren't even monks or nuns— who are just ordinary lay people—and they go into "tukdam."

      for - Buddhism - Tibetan - Tukdam - ordinary people with no training also go into Tukdam - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D. Dunne

    4. I've encountered several people in the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions who say, "Oh, we, you know 'tukdam,' yeah, people go in 'tukdam,' "but it's like, you know, not that big a deal. It's, we don't care that much." Part of the reason they don't care that much is that the idea that you need to go into this completely, kind of, a state where there's no phenomenal content— that's just a pure clear light mind— actually is something that many of the contemporary practitioners and teachers in those lineages don't agree with.

      for - Buddhism - Tibetan - Kagyu and Nyingma schools don't make a big deal out of Tukdam - nondual awareness can emerge with other techniques - key insight - Buddhism - Tibetan - Clear light meditation at time of death - Tukdam - a physiological technique - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D. Dunne

    5. it's said that you can get there by doing like philosophical analysis, but this is using basically physiological techniques to get to the same place phenomenologically. So that's what "tukdam" is theoretically

    6. So the concept here is that you're actually no longer even capable of thinking, you're no longer capable of seeing, you're no longer capable of hearing, and so on. All that's left is just this kind of sheer consciousness itself, which doesn't even have a subject-object structure. So for the Gelugpas that lack of subject-object structure is not really relevant. For the other traditions it's extremely relevant, because it's said that if you're going to understand the nature of the mind, the fundamental distortion in the mind is precisely that subject-object structure. So you have to cultivate a non-dual awareness,

    12. these winds, right— these energies—are already flowing, of course, and they flow in very deep patterns that basically constitute one's own ordinary identity. And so quite literally one's own ordinary identity is, is the patterning of these winds.

      for - key insight - one's ordinary identity IS the pattern of the flow of the winds - this makes practice of Tukdam very difficult - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D. Dunne - a tendency towards lust, aversion, etc is accompanied by a flow of wind. - to practice this during life, we have to get out of the deep patterns we identify with in life

    13. There are different forms of energy, five primary forms and five secondary forms of energy, and they flow in channels in the body. And at the time of death, there, there's a certain kind of configuration of those energies that occur and you can actually, you can, in a sense, force those energies— maybe that's not the right term, but some people would agree with that metaphor— you can force those energies to enter into that configuration through various forms of yogic practices.

    1. I think the Paleolithic ethical framework is simply—I mean, the hunter-gatherers—having no separation between themselves, no radical distinction between human and nonhuman—thought everything else was kindred. Literally, they thought if you went out to hunt and you’re hunting a deer, the deer is your sister or your brother, or maybe your ancestor, or maybe, more precisely, past/future forms of yourself. Because I think the ethic was you hunted with sort of prayers and sacrifice and humility. You’re asking a deer—a brother or a sister or an ancestor—to give its life for you.

      history - connection stories that challenge the Genesis control story - Indigenous elders of North America share stories with some Westerners in the United States and Canada - These are shared in Europe and become popular, especially amongst intellectuals - It was refreshing to hear an account of nature that wasn't considered evil and that had to be tamed and brought into God's order - Alexander von Humboldt wrote some of these and was widely read - Thoreau, WHitman and Rousseau read Humboldt - British and German Romantics such as Wordworth, Shelly and Coleridge are also influenced by it and see the rediscovery of the wonder of nature as an antidote to the alienation of the industrial age - Completing the circle, American intellects Thoreau and Emerson read the Romantics, in turn influencing Whitman and John Muir

    5. The Greeks took that material change and they mythologized it into the soul. And then, of course, Genesis—the creation of the world in Christianity—says, the world is here for humans. It was created for humans to use, to dominate, to exploit, you know, in their trial here to see if they’re righteous or not.

With the invention of the printing press, written language got an exponential acceleration in intergenerational knowledge transmission. - This had a huge feedback effect on the oral language itself, increase the number of words and meanings exponentially. - There are complex recipes for everything and written words allow us to capture the complex recipes or instructions in ways that would overwhelm oral traditions.

      summary - A good article that offers an explanation of how language has potentially led the public to rely on top down actors to provide solutions to the climate crisis - Joe Brewer draws on his background as a frame analyst to analyse the role language and cognitive linguistics has played in framing the discourse on the climate crisis - He claims that this has led the public to look to elite top down actors to provide the solutions - This had led to a disempowerment of the public in actively participating in contributing too solutions - Indeed it could be why we have a sleeping giant - Reframing the story could have the opposite effect of inspiring people's to wake up and take action to regenerate nature within and surrounding the communities where people live.

    2. we need to reframe away from climate change and reframe toward ecological crisis or ecological collapse, focus on ecosystems. We need to focus our energy on grassroots organizing and local efforts to restore the health of ecosystems, which does change economics, it does change politics, does change all those things

    3. Almost all of the climate discourse is framed in terms of economic transactions with carbon markets and carbon credits and carbon offsets and the market dynamics associated with them or with technology solutions that corporations can implement.

    2. It's not a just a localist project. It's embedded within the guy intellectually, within this planetary. And by intellectually, what we mean is that Gaia herself as a living being, has her own will and her own agency, that through ontological shifts we can learn and practice to be in dialog with, to be in call and response with, to be in service to. And that requires a certain amount of humility and a move from materialism to animism, a move from rationalism to relational ism

    4. this what Alnoor just put out was a graphical representation of what is it for us to go from these pyramid logics, this dominant system, and start to shift our gaze into what we will talk about as as spiral logic, as trans logic is other ways where we set first and foremost, not just saying that it's the work of philosophers and mystics and others to sit with these first principle questions, questions of ontology. But indeed, it's the responsibility of all of us who are taking full responsibility for what it means to be alive in these times, for how do we see how do we know what we know? How do we think about what we know that we know? How do we behave in accordance to what we see and what we know? And what is our set of ethics that goes along with that.
