Bush urges that scientists should turn to the massive task of creating more efficient accessibility to our fluctuating store of knowledge.

concept of the memex that would make knowledge more accessible

Bush expresses his concern for the direction of scientific efforts toward destruction, rather than understanding

Each society would maintain a 'master memex' containing all papers, references, tables "intimately interconnected by trails, so that one may follow a detailed matter from paper to paper, going back through the classics, recording criticism in the margins."

We've found that the extra duplication in the names of files is worth the productivity benefit when scanning for a specific open file.

One huge advantage to scaling up is that you’ll get far more feedback for your Insight through making process. It’s true that Effective system design requires insights drawn from serious contexts of use, but it’s possible to create small-scale serious contexts of use which will allow you to answer many core questions about your system.

In a recent experiment, it was shown that inducing a positive mood can buffer the impairing effects of ego depletion on subsequent performance.

Our tools and techniques are only as valuable as the workflow

The language of the amendment, Anderson says, was crafted to ensure that slave owners could quickly crush any rebellion or resistance from those whom they’d enslaved.

battery technology is far from advanced enough to make it worthwhile to store and transport energy from these rural regions into the urban centers that need it

enormous quantities of renewable hydro energy are wasted every year

In December 2019, one report suggested that 73% of Bitcoin’s energy consumption was carbon neutral, largely due to the abundance of hydro power in major mining hubs such as Southwest China and Scandinavia.

Energy Consumption Is Not Equivalent to Carbon Emissions

But how much energy should a monetary system consume?

When trauma-associated physiologic and emotional reactions persist over time and adversely impact a patient’s functioning, trauma-related disorders should be ruled out.

But “decentralization” is also not a value in itself, and it’s not enough to build the kinds of technological networks we need to confront intensifying global crises.

Which is all the more reason why we can’t let such powerful tools for mass coordination become monopolized by those who merely want to amass wealth or control.

burn a grotesque amount of energy (particularly those based on Proof-of-Work), or require tons of hardware usage (leading to immense waste).

Instead of merely being not centralized, we wanted to define what it was that we stood for.

If sufficiently decentralized, will these technologies fix all that ails us?

but where it gets spicy is when you start to project ethical attributes to these movements

What matters in this discussion – in any discussion over a technology really – is who’s designing it, who controls it, and who stands to benefit?

That people show off these illegible globs in public only makes sense from a signaling perspective: They are saying, “look at how many nodes I have in my brain, amazing nodes, I have so many nodes that a peon such as yourself can’t even guess what’s going on here!”

The problem with the Knowledge Graph ideology is that everything in your mind is already situated in a graph structure. That is precisely the problem.

All you have to do is take cute little notes all the time, and the hard work is magically done for you!

The deep and urgent sense that we’re all drowning in information and distraction has created a massive market for anything that claims to solve this problem.

indeed, difficulties falling or staying asleep are a symptom of the diagnoses of depression, generalised anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder

Insomnia symptoms were clearly associated with higher levels of persecutory ideation.

Thus insomnia may contribute to the formation and maintenance of persecutory ideation.

Pluriverse names an understanding of the world in which countless groups of people create and re-create their own distinctive cultural realities, each of which constitutes a world.

Local and Global online and cyber currencies / credit systems may play a major role in cosmo-localims, facilitating the exchange of economic value and investments across space and time in ways that are not constrained by traditional currency capital flows

Others have argued that cosmolocalism advances alternatives that could potentially undermine dominant capitalist imaginary significations, attitudes and modalities.

Italian social innovation scholar Ezio Manzini describes cosmopolitan localism as having the potential to generate a new sense of place.

Cosmopolitan localism fosters a global network of mutually supportive communities (neighbourhoods, villages, towns, cities and regions) who share and exchange knowledge, ideas, skills, technology, culture and (where socially and ecologically sustainable) resources.

People experiencing limerence demand return.

Scientists say that, one person can’t experience limerence and love at the same time because while the former is selfish and unsatisfying, the latter is rewarding and liberating.

if you belong to a dominant group (say, white folks), and you’re borrowing from a minority group whose oppression you benefit from (say, Black folks), then you need to be extremely careful, and probably get permission.
