      new trailmark - summary to review - the word "review" may be a better trailmark word than "summary" - At this point, I will replace "summary" with "review" in the case of book or article reviews

      review - Lisa's book is an insightful convergence of an important but ignored subject, the experiential intersection between language and consciousness. - Her understanding that language plays an important role in constructing our reality leads to a bold and novel proposal, especially salient at this time of global poly-meta-perma-meaning crisis. - She proposes that we individually and collectively experiment and explore creating new words and language structures that transcend the limitations of our existing language - If patterns of language usage traps us in outdated conceptual paradigms, then breaking out of these may be challenging, if not impossible, without the creation of new linguistic and language structures. - From a Stop Reset Go and Deep Humanity perpsective, Lisa's proposal for practical experimentation with constructing new languages to unleash new forms of expression is very aligned to Deep Humanity BEing journeys - As I read and annotate Lisa's book, any potential linguistic and language BEing journeys that her words inspired will be recorded for posterity

      Addendum - note from journal - 2025, May 8 - reflections on Lisa's book - asynchronous communication is only one half of indyweb     - the other half is asynchronous REFLECTION AND SYNTHESIS - Effective timebinding requires both     - Annotation captures interpersonal shared ideas     - journalling captures ours own unique synthesis only emerges from asynchronous reflections of our existent associative network of ideas and the newly ingested interpersonal ones - Annotations capture the novel and newly inputted interpersonal ones     - but annotation currently only applies to hypothesis - it needs to expand to realtime meetings such as zoom calls, emails, socials media comments and socials media chats in order to be complete - Until now, there has not been a medium with sufficient set of affordances to unleash the affordances potential in language itself - While digital media has existed and rapidly developed for the past 5 decades,     - employing and leveraging it to unleash the full potential of language itself has not ever been conceived of until the concept of Indyweb arrived - Indeed, we could make the claim that the indyweb is a foundational human technology on the same order as language itself because it completes language, revealing its empty ( shunyata) quality, thereby     - uniting it with the universe itself -  From the unlimited potential of the tacit,     - the limited forms of words emerge, both are 2 sides off the same nondual coin     - and unleashing the full , unrealized potential of language - It is the provenance aspect of the indyweb that provides an automatic trail of all our learning journey, making both the     - individual and     - intertwingled collective evolution of ideas available as records for. timebinding posterity

      • when we feel in a good state of health and wellbeing and absent of any disease
        • we feel when everything is within harmony in our temporary state of being alive
      • Any disease shows us how the diseases-free state is so fragilely constructed
      • disease-free is an and condition of many subsystems working together harmoniously -aspectualizing is creating
        • a perspective,
        • a word
        • an idea
      • the greatest freedom of afforded when we are free of all perspectives
        • for that is when a new perspective can emerge
      • When we cling to words and ideas, we cling to perspectives and aspects of the whole
      • The teaching of one taste is the highest and most subtle teaching - equal taste - and easiest to be misinterpreted
        • because we are anchored in the world of many different tastes and of measurement and scale,
          • where some things are greater than others on our scale
      • Bayo Akomolafe does some language construction - conlangering on his LinkedIn post on the derivation of the word "apolief" from "belief"
    2. polar regions. The melting of sea ice and ice sheets is not palpable to most.” 201Climate change is invisible when we consider ourselves separate from Gaia

      for - adjacency - hyperobject - language of separation - new trailmark format - adjacency

      adjacency - hyperobject -- language of separation - There is another related reason that many people do not value climate crisis - these concepts are hyperobjects - objects so large that they are beyond the scope of evolutionarily evolved salience - language evolved within humans to deal with environmental events that were salient to our immediate survival - the climate crisis is steeped in complex science and applies to the entire planet, something that humans were never evolved to cognitively apprehend

    1. What if your sense of self, your seeing, your feeling, your very intelligibility as a “someone” are not possessions within a worldview, but part of an accommodation process issued from it, co-conditioned, emergent, and entangled?

      for - quote - Sense of Self - worldview - Bayo - critique - worldview - Bayo - new trailmark - analysis

      quote - Sense of Self - worldview - Bayo - What if, instead, worldviews are - not views from worlds - but the ways worlds come into view? - What if your sense of self, - your seeing, - your feeling, - your very intelligibility as a “someone” - are not possessions within a worldview, - but part of an accommodation process issued from it, - co-conditioned, - emergent, and - entangled?

      analysis - Bayo juxtapositions - the normative subject/object dualistic view of a Self having an experience with objects with - a nondualistic view in which self and other, subject and object are two sides of the same seamless coin - The aggregate experience of "many diverse appearances" is imputed to be a "self" that is having these many diverse experiences of appearances - rather than apprehending the totality as an unbroken continuum<br /> - Are we not imaginative enough to break our deep conditioning of Self and other / subject and object and experience the totality of phenomena, instead imputing a self? - The individual "self" is indeed a compelling story because the biological individual inherently - has a distinct, and identifiable though dynamic boundary with its environment - has been bestowed with the evolutionary trait of instinct for survival - and therefore prioritizes securing resources required for its biological continuation - To see beyond this pyscho/physical appearance requires a high level of integration

    1. For a flip-of-a-coin chance of staying at or below 1.5°C we have, globally, just five to eight years of current emissions before we blow our carbon budget
      • for: do people know? - 50% chance, 1.5 Deg. C target - is still a crap shoot

      • new trailmark: do people know?

      • do people know?: 50% chance

        • the well known 1.5 Deg C. target, which currently seems almost impossible to achieve, is still a crap shoot! There is a 50% chance that if be we achieve it, we can still trigger very harmful impacts like tipping points

      • for: enthnography - Jarawa, African-Asian tribe, Alexandre Dereims, human origins - Jawara, anthropology - Jarawa, Andaman archipelago

      • summary

        • An extraordinary film by filmmaker Alexandre Dereims about the isolated Jawara people, believed to be one of the first peoples to migrate out of Africa and who landed in an island off the coast of India. Their way of life has not changed for tens of thousands of years but unfortunately, is being quickly eroded by the influences of modernity.
        • This film documents the life of this ancient tribe, who until recently lived in complete isolation from modernity. Dereims illegally entered the territory to film the Jawara tribe and give them a voice in the context of the Indian governments continual exploitation of the tribe for tourism and their agenda to confiscate their land for modern development.
        • The film is a realtime record of how rapidly colonialism and the transformation of takes place. We hear the voices of the Jawara as they speak of the incremental exploitation and corruption of the modern world on their people. When we see this, we realize how little has changed since the 14th century when global colonialism began.
        • Instead of preserving the Jawara to have a living reminder of our ancient past and the wonder of human evolution, we myopically exploit them. What a sad commentary on humanity.
      • new trailmark: deeper reflections

        • this trailmark is used to capture deeper reflections not captured in the initial annotation
        • this often occurs for me there next day after a night's sleep.
        • I believe it happens because the intuitive gut feeling that initially attracted me to the story is not so easily accessible. It could be complex, entangled and difficult to articulate and/or subconscious
      • deeper reflections

        • our own process of cultural construction
          • the living Jawara are so valuable ethnographically and anthropologically because they are living, breathing examples of how culture constructs us -
        • adjacency between - Jawara people - Ronald Wright's computer analogy for modern humans
          • Cumulative Cultural Evolution (CCE)
            • Deep Humanity
          • adjacency statement
            • The comparison between the cultural differences between the Jawara people and we modernly enculturated humans is striking. Perhaps not as striking as feral children but still striking. It shows us how easily we ourselves could have such a different experience of life and Worldview if we were born into the Jawara tribe today.
            • As Ronald Wright noted, there is likely no difference between the human mental capacity of our 50,000 year old ancestors and ourselves
            • The significance of their existence is living proof of CCE, a profound Deep Humanity teaching about how we humans construct the meaningverse and symbolosphere so critical to intertwingled individual and collective experience of reality
            • The Jawara and other isolated ingenious progress should be treated with the greatest respect and esteem for being the living examples of our cultural evolution that teaches us the deepest lessons of what we are as humans and how culture profoundly shapes us
            • At a minimum, all the tourists the the Indian government have allowed to visit them, as well as the tourist operators should have mandatory Deep Humanity training before being allowed any contact with them in order to preserve their dignity
            • striping away all the amenities of modern life, we can see how happy they Jawara people are with so little
            • this is a lesson on recognising the wonder of simply being alive, an invaluable Deep. Humanity lesson
