I'm spread out over many areas right now. I need to have an overall design document, a high level design that outlines the hard, structural design decisions like "Why three classes of entities?" "Why MQTT w/ #nostr entity objects?" "Why PNG for a floppy?" Finish up the islands, first.

Sometimes the best thing to do is just play old Black Sabbath albums. I go backwards from Master of Reality. You?
Perhaps you are wondering,"Why so many sites?".
- Wayback machine only reliably captures index
- My sites are SPAs with bootstrap JS and PNG payload
- Only a single description and title in <head> distinguish sites
- I can archive PNGs on Permanent.org
- My audience is mostly for a future culture
I just finished chapter 11 of Ishmael. It reminds me of this article I wrote in 2019:

People think like a botnet on social media. It is easily poisoned and manipulated because most no longer think, they just categorized and cluster. Any graphic or reference that sounds plausible can work. There are exceptions, but keep expectations low. Most are susceptible, but this will pass.
And, I should not forget that I've done these visualization with non-technical users that were ready to ditch anything resembling workflow. I've also done several other implementations. This method is a known good. I've just improved it and made it work without servers, admins, or experts.
I can always learn more. I do need to interact for that. Primarily, though, this is to ensure my efforts fit into a broader understanding of the challenges. It is unlikely I will find anybody creating knowledge graphs for tactical response and visualization meant for human use and cognition.
Doing the math is much different than providing something useful that fits within the broader domains of consideration. Those facing crises don't care about the math details, nor what Guy McPherson said back in 2016. Their families are suffering from heat. MEER's reflective roofs help with that.
Three recent events have guided me towards vanilla language: rare feedback on social media (Dobby D.), a conversation with my father the same week, and insights from Quinn's Ishmael. I have been veering towards this for awhile, simplifying the methods and models. I need to heed #Burroughs' DE.
My premise for four years is that opportunity for cultural change via changing paradigms comes after collapse events. The problem is that current culture is untethered, so the resulting mythology will likely cause another cycle of self-destruction. I must use vanilla language for mapping tools.
Why mythology when #DonellaMeadows explicitly describes it with paradigms? It is the approach. An agent is in a double bind ( #GregoryBateson ). "We are not outside the ecology," and this includes mind/#paradigms. Meadows' expectations of agents is idealistic. Mythology is passive-subversive.
When I see people talking about collapse in relation to money, I remember my experience in 1987 where I had so little that I was not a good mark for highway men. Later that year, I also noted that Black Monday didn't really effect me and my friends much for similar reasons.

I have much chervil growing in my garden. I frequently use it in my breakfast. This time in the season the stalks get thick, so simply chopping it up won't do. I'm slowly perfecting the manual task of stripping the edible parts. It is easy when you do it a few times. This is culture I wish I had.
My interest in 🚫 is not just a pleasant armchair. I have something specific in mind; however, I'm also a fan of a modified "no free will". This means, for me, that unseen currents propel us, and our rudder is thin. Identify these early to steer. 🚫 will end up here:

Streaming Logs With Integrity
It seems foolish to think it is possible to model knowledge quickly with the help of computers, yet do so without servers, experts, or administrators. Our culture is moving in the opposite direction. But, wasn't that exactly the point that #JayForrester made about leverage point push direction?
I recovered my text journal entries from 2021:
1.44MB Ship's Log
Log of 1.44MB
Agents untethered by critical reasoning created this problem, amplified by opportunists making money off of hysteria and entertainment:
No, a Remote Amazon Tribe Did Not Get Addicted to Porn (Published 2024)
A Times story about the arrival of high-speed internet in a remote Amazon tribe spiraled into its own cautionary tale on the dark side of the web.
I use this command for screencasts:
```

Much respect to the veterans that fought for decades.
