  • The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed. - W. Gibson (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/William_Gibson)
    • He is reported to have first said this in an interview on Fresh Air, NPR (31 August 1993) {unverified}, he repeated it, prefacing it with "As I've said many times…" in "The Science in Science Fiction" on Talk of the Nation, NPR (30 November 1999, Timecode 11:55).

JACOPO
residencies and collective workshops in rural areas
micro-terriotorial heritage of these places
to develop new attractions, promote heritage, etc
i work by connecting people, a catalyst
"ultra terriotorial narration":
    connects to #THL (trans-hyper-local)
building structures, to reactivate places that are in standby, to re-activate localities
"amazing, incredible places that need to be reactivated":
    D: "why do you see this as interesting"
    J: places structure your life, and these places are more pleasing

<---------------------- (new) FELLOW TRAVELLERS





*** WRAPUP BEFORE BREAK

first crossroad:
    A) read more CHT texts
    B) do practical ethering ← !!!



(a check)

[xxxxx]


(ethering in practice!)

refer to:
    🔗workflow-ethering
    🔗ethering (easy 101 page)
    🔗E2H (full spec)




*** PAD
^ EVERY PAD NEEDS: "the unstructured part"



ETHERING 101

* headering ........ B+U
* subheadering ........ "    "+B+U"
* overheadering ....... "***+B+U"
* titled forks ......... "<-------------------- (new) bla bla"
* main fork ......... "<------------------------ ((new))"
* internal links like this → "🔗ethering"
* internal links to other pods Wikipedia🔗Rotterdam


ETHERING: content marks

STUB→ PRE-DRAFT → DRAFT → DRAFT+ → DRAFT++ → RFC


[!!→] ETHERING -- (levels of pad writing)

LEVEL 1: MANIC WRITING
LEVEL 2: IMPOSING FORM
LEVEL 3: NOT BEING BOUND BY THE FORM, STILL FREE (ECHO OF 1)
LEVEL 4: RE-FOLDING (ECHO OF 2)



(tips)
  • ctrl+f = find
  • ctrl+pg up/pg down = move between tabs
  • ctrl+shift+pg up/pg down = move tabs around
  • to come to the moment for writing:
  • ctrl +f + "new))"
  • [!] = importance




    Does it work?

pollitics of collectivity, adopting tools
tools that don't live up to their potential
you need a facilitator/caretaker/catalyst/editor (?)

you need to have a functional group
some people are more skilled in certain aspects than others

reliable tools, keeping it running
taking a leadership role, taking care of the people, people need to trust that person

"nuclear democracy"
the website is always open for edits, but people don't vandalize it

editorial work // indexing choices - done by editor or collectively determined?
everybody can be the editor
reviews: going through the pads, making collaborative decisions

pads are easier to use than wikis

appropriate technology
https://www.appropedia.org/Welcome_to_Appropedia

is expertise a thing? mastery?
yes.

generalists
knowing how to apply your capacity > mastery
keeping goals in mind
