Schwitzgebel says “You might think, for example, that spatial contiguity is a necessary condition of objecthood, so that it makes no more sense to speak of a spatially discontinuous entity than it makes sense – unless you adopt some liberal

This room is an example of a public good[0] (something that is non-excludable and consumed in a non-rivalrous way, like a park or like clean air. Contrasted with private goods like a slice of pizza). [0] https://www.investopedia.

In addition to local journalism, cooperatives are another way democracy can show up close to home. Combining the two, I believe 404Media.co is effectively a journalist-owned outlet (i.e. a worker coop).

I too appreciate the clarity and structure of your writing. And the topics. Non-consensual consent seems to me related to Heidegger’s ‘throwness’, which Google Gemini summarized as: > In Heidegger's philosophy, "thrownness&quot

Found the first few paragraphs an interesting exploration of the concept of “curation”. Also interesting was the concept of a semioscape, and its location within a broader latent sociosemioscape. Then talked about curation algorithms abilit

I like the idea of ‘individuation’[0] where individual things (rocks, living bodies, minds, societies) come into being from their preindividual environment. As I understand this idea, it is just that a mind individuates within a body, and t

There is a model of nested dynamic systems called 'panarchy'. > Panarchy is the structure in which systems, including those of nature (e.g., forests) and of humans (e.g., capitalism), as well as combined human-natural systems (

This reminds me of the cybertician Gordon Pask's idea of m-individuals and p-individuals. > A p-individual is a psychological individual and an m-individual is a mechanical individual. So an m-individual is a body and a p-individual

Plenty of companies not using Holocracy have a lack of empathy to their employees as well as overly-bureaucratic processes. What if a company ran itself under a nomic (a game where it is a move to change a rule of the game)? If employees w
