Interested in the intersection of resilience and governance.

@aspiringpeasant Fingers crossed. It's once race I'll be watching closely tomorrow, because of you.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@DavidSantoro1 I agree with the point in general, though the relationship between resilience and efficiency makes this debate a bit tricky.

Too much focus on efficiency has a negative affect on resilience. Redundancy and repetition have their places.

This nuance can get lost in the politics.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@Meaningness I think you can postulate a series of interconnected crises, without also requiring a single overarching solution.

But I could be persuaded that the metacrisis framing is not useful because it causes people to think in terms of singular solutions.

This is the heart of it. We need to see reality for what it really is, not what we want to pretend it is.

McGilchrist also frames the problem in a useful way.

@aspiringpeasant Yo dude, haven't been on twitter for a bit, but pretty sure I remember what this is about.

Glad to hear it went better than expected. Hard thing, but... if there ever was the time, this was it.

Hope thats all that comes of it for you.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@aspiringpeasant Sounds like they are accusing others of doing what they want to do?

Preparing the ground/creating legitimacy for their own violence. 'We have to do this because they are.'

Thats my cynical take at least.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@anderssandberg @michael_nielsen I think of the quantum zeno effect in this context, which shows that measurement freezes/slows down system evolution. At the social level, we could say that excessive observation inhibits adaptation. It freezes you where you are.

Which has massive implications for... everything.

@cmilesb reminds me of this article:

@RomeoStevens76 Yes, affect the requirement is to structure both privacy and transparency so that each is exists in the appropriate contexts.

There are areas where you want obfuscation, and others where you want transparency, but it requires constant maintenance from a live player.

Compassion is not weakness. It is strength.

Reverence is not weakness. It is strength.

Respect is not weakness. It is strength.

Sensitivity is not weakness. It is strength.

Humanity and vulnerability are not weakness. They are our strength.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@aspiringpeasant That won't fix anything, but they will destroy us given the chance.

You can’t ignore them, you can’t engage in good faith with them. Instead… it seems you have to do what you’re already doing. Call it out and hope enough people agree with you rather than them.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@aspiringpeasant What I struggle with is how to deal/engage with this type of attitude.

People like Dale have convinced themselves that people like you and me are the root of all their problems, and that destroying us and our beliefs are how they can fix their problems.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@aspiringpeasant I'm also in a position where I can generally take my time and be slow. Many others are not in that position.

There are structural factors which incentivise people to rush in the way they do, and that's not something you can address at the individual level.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@aspiringpeasant I get your point, but at the same time purposefully frustrating/triggering road rage in someone who is aggravated/wanting to drive fast can exacerbate things. Make em take stupid risks.

Not saying you do this, but if someone wants to drive fast, I tend let them pass when safe.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@cmilesb @exgenesis @hermittoday oooh, ty, followed

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@relic_radiation yes, there are people out there who can do truly amazing things

any there are many out there who promise they can do truly amazing things, but actually can't, or only in certain contexts they don't quite know the boundaries of

figuring out which is which is really hard

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@cmilesb yes, though I would say it goes further than that and reshapes our ontological understanding of the world

the usefulness of quantitative newtonian paradigm is coming to an end, we need something that, as you say, reincorporates subjective experience

@therawe2 @dillonrpayton I expect timing is a consideration. You wanna hit them on the way into winter so they can't repair them during summer.

It receives pressure on the front during the most difficult months.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@aspiringpeasant great choice of song

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@PatrickHeizer @ram_farm At the same time, you can't bury your head in the sand. You have to see what's coming to adapt to it.

Not sure this is something that can be addressed at the individual level though.

[Eidosian @Eidosian]

@PatrickHeizer @ram_farm I've been grappling with this, on the basis of Visa's 'focus on what you want to see more of.'

Attention is power, and by giving attention in aggregate to dishonest people seeking it we give them power. Financial and social. Which is then used.

Don't feel bad for us, man - the haters have given us so many impressions over the last few days that they've actually made us a significant amount of money, and some good exposure to new followers.

Sadly, this is how X works - hate rules supreme, and if you want to play the game and not shout into a void (and for absolutely zero $), this is what you're hoping for.

Ever since we started our account, we knew the concept had potential, as many, many people absolutely can't stand homesteaders, and the more extreme they are, the more they despise them.
They always find something - your tool looks bad, your tool looks too good, your clothes are too clean, you look like you smell, etc., etc. They don't care what it is, they just enjoy the virtual lynch mob experience.

For example, if you look at some of the profiles that are dunking on us right now, you'll notice that there's an incredibly high number of accounts with pronouns and trans flags in their bios - obviously, these are not people who use crosscut saws, or know much about them (or about farming in general - for example, you can see them calling my billhook a scythe in the comments, and stuff like that), but they'll gladly pretend they do for a day or two to get on the hate train.

Anyway, I wrote a reply explaining the picture, for the few people who are actually interested, so you can check it out if you want.

Also, we'll make a post (with a video) about how to saw with a crosscut saw, since this platform obviously suffers from a tremendous lack of practical knowledge on this subject.

Thanks for the support!
