Thank you. It seems like you have a clear path for this transition. Do you have any reading suggestions that explain this transition?

For the research portion, there are (unfortunately) lower impact journals like where the following paper -- about replacing aeronautical alloys with alumina-- is from: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22149... For organoid intelligence, more hyped so you have higher impact, free journals https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/science/articles/10.338... Japan has a lot of interesting not-quite-indu…

I wanted to really appreciate your comments. Thanks for taking the time.-

You have to move the toggle for youtube.com to red first. Main Menu > Extensions > Extensions Manager > Privacy Badger > Settings > Tracking Domains > search for youtube.com > tap to update the toggle for youtube.com to red

Ooh I should have looked at your link before commenting, thanks!

You're welcome! I didn't make it clear that you have to opt into blocking YouTube for now.

I appreciate people who dare to experiment with their life style. The boat idea would perhaps too lonely for most people, but it would be nice to see folks experiment with re-inventing communes/new types of forming communities. There is strictly no reason for each person to own a TV, PC, dishwasher, washing machine, etc. - most of that could be shared so as to reduce electronic waste and increase sustainability. The…

Serious question, have you lived on a commute or community living environment that wasn't a college dorm?

Nyc has buildings that function as co-ops. You have your own apartment in a building that you own shares of. Everyone pays for amenities like laundry and maintenance together

The boat is ~40 years old (per their website). Our sailboat is a Yamaha33, a 1982 masthead sloop fiberglass sailboat. - https://100r.co/site/pino.html

Using a diesel motor 40 year old does not sound very enviromentaly friendly.

How about an Open "sourced" boat design?

That's the idea. However, my initial criticism of the way permacomputing is formulated are: 1. We could have examined each of the 12 Permaculture Design Principle and attempted to directly apply them to software design. For example, "Observe and Interact" is so broadly useful and versatile (and the core of adversarial domains, such as warfare), it can easily be applied to software.

"Technology's place within...a living systems world view" If you mean modern high technology, I suspect it has no place. It is a really interesting question,

That is why I had been having trouble with it. Modern high technology is a lot of exploitation.

I once heard a historian described technology as a lever. A small effort has greater gains.

However, we were looking at it from a different angle. What if civilization are not walls and cities — the division of labor so that peasants can support the ruling class — but rather, in _design_? When I first posed that, one of my friends went right into architectural design. (Which is fine, since we explored Christopher Alexander’s work).

But an example of what I was thinking of was this discovery that one of the cave paintings was probably a hunting calendar. It allows the tribe to count the number of moons when there is sufficient deer.

That’s a kind of design — a kind of permacomputing - a kind of civilization if we were to reframe it as design.

I might be stretching it there.

I have seen effective use of technology in permaculture. Digging up swales and basins make use technology, whether it is with a shovel, or feeding pigs in a way so that they can dig for you.

So I think there is something there.

Do you have a forum for discussing this?

I do not. Maybe I should.

I also really enjoyed your poems :) I aspire to have an interesting website like yours. I came back to read them again and your website was down though :(

Thanks for paying attention. Central Europe also has a very similar low volume ceramics/optics SME networks, but they are also much more industrialized and energy consumptive.

Requires boots on the ground to see if the energy shortages will lead to these networks evolving "solarpunk" tech. (They are also similarly secretive). Let me know if you see any trends in that direction!

I can tell you from AP that people are trying to reverse engineer "secret" Japanese tech, reverse engineering is sacred work :)

Thanks for the details in philosophical provenance point-out! I will return to the other thread when I've completed current round of debugging local firmware :)
