"Small is Huge". Smallness in all the things. At local and interpersonal scales the social habits and dynamics are in a much better state than in the places where we enter online global public squares. Personal social networking, is a part of SX to explore, and the second perspective of SX (in a pyramid model of 3 perspective) focuses on interpersonal relationships.

The first perspective is personal and focuses on individual needs. While the third perspective is where it all combines into intricate societal constructs, and our solutions can be designed to have "societal impact". Society is the tapestry where we weave our social experiences together.

Social experience design is based on the intrinsic values of #Freedom and #Humanity in all its rich facets.

I reject the narrative that just because I love #bicycles and what they can do for #humanity, I must therefore be interested in bicycle racing.

There's nothing wrong with athletic competition, but it should not be the focus of the #cycling industry.

Racing doesn't sell bicycles to the people who most need cycling in their lives. It appeals only to a very small minority subset of the potential market. #BikeTooter

Coding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.

When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.

A deeply personal share.

I would love to only post about #fitness, healthy living, and create the illusion that all is well. But that would be dishonest to my principles and values.

Those cheering “Alligator Alcatraz” aren’t just spectators— They’re part of a growing effort to normalize dehumanization through policy, rhetoric, and spectacle.

Some can scroll past this.
I can’t.

PS. Arnie is my namesake, and in Terminator 2 this #sociosphere molded over #technosphere construct from the future also learned to love its softer side, when it came into contact with #Humanity. Hence the governator meme. 😜

It was where #AI Artiicial intelligence met Alternative intelligence, and knew the latter was worth fighting for.

🤖 Smart robot. Meanwhile we shouldn't build #SkyNet, fedizens. Work in commons and with #people power.

We live in a #technosphere and are being force-fed #DigitalTransformation. See how it destroys the fabric of our #society.

#DelightfulCommons curated lists are inspired by #awesome lists on #Github and I realized they still represent a sterile lab with glaring TL lights and metal glinting everywhere.

In a quest to bring more of the missing #social connecting layers to bridge the gap between tech vs. #people and #humanity, I decided to give things a friendlier makeover.
