Plan for human scale: transcendent social relations cannot ‘scale’ in the way that we have become used to considering a fundamental requirement for ‘success’. Anything that scales the way capitalism does will not move in the desired direction. Life always has appropriate scale.
for - A Transcender Manifesto - plan for human scale - question - cosmolocal as a third possibility? Cosmolocal scales globally but retains human scale

These forces, which can also be alliances of human and non-human forces, can be the seed forms for what I just called ‘Magisteria of the Commons’. In this scenario, both market and state institutions, and if they disappear in their current form, the practices of market exchange and of the public management of common territorial life, become subject to the regulation by these cosmo-local commons institutions

They wore blouseswith buttons down the front that suggested the possibilities of the wordundone. These women could be undone; or not
Simply having the possibility. Shows that possibility lies in clothing, in what you put on, in habits. What does it mean for a woman to be undone? A lot of physical things representing this lack of freedom or possibility.

It matters what matters we use to think othermatters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with;it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, whatdescriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters whatstories make worlds, what worlds make stories
tool-patterns determine what patterns can be found with them. the union of the codomains of every tool-pattern we are applying is all we can find at any given point in time.

If it's dangerous, note it in the class/method Javadocs, don't just blindly slam the door shut.

This is especially useful for UI library components, as it is generally unknown which events will be required from them for all desired use cases. For example, if a Button component only forwards a click event, then no use case that requires the mouseover or the keypress event can be used with it.

Hobbes and Rousseau told their contemporaries things that werestartling, profound and opened new doors of the imagination. Nowtheir ideas are just tired common sense. There’s nothing in them thatjustifies the continued simplification of human affairs. If socialscientists today continue to reduce past generations to simplistic,two-dimensional caricatures, it is not so much to show us anythingoriginal, but just because they feel that’s what social scientists areexpected to do so as to appear ‘scientific’. The actual result is toimpoverish history – and as a consequence, to impoverish our senseof possibility.
The simplification required to make models and study systems can be a useful tool, but one constantly needs to go back to the actual system to make sure that future predictions and work actually fit the real world system.
Too often social theorists make assumptions which aren't supported in real life and this can be a painfully dangerous practice, especially when those assumptions are built upon in ways that put those theories out on a proverbial creaking limb.
This idea is related to the bias that Charles Mathewes points out about how we treat writers as still living or as if they never lived. see: https://hypothes.is/a/VTU2lFvZEeyiJ2tN76i4sA

This is a very dangerous practice as each optimization means making assumptions. If you are compressing an image you make an assumption that some payload can be cut out without seriously affecting the quality, if you are adding a cache to your backend you assume that the API will return same results. A correct assumption allows you to spare resources. A false assumption introduces a bug in your app. That’s why optimizations should be done consciously.

If we don’t force kids to come to school in order to change their ‘mindsets’, why ARE they here?
To develop their own "mindsets" in a nurturing environment that values their agency and supports them in seeing and realizing the possibilities in their lives? :-)

The subjects of our deliberation are such as seem to present us with alternative possibilities
This is somewhat similar to what Isocrates was claiming about possibilities.
