Happy holidays, fediverse!
I got you a megathrust earthquake, soil liquefaction, spine-tingling papers about the way our networks confound knowledge, and a PDF in a pear tree. It's my wrap on a year of trying to make sense of how we make sense of what's happening to us.
@kissane Larping Un chien Andalou is a really unsettling image that I won't shake for a while. I marvel though at that one nerve ending that at one point reached out, connected, held on for all that time and now let that comparison pop up. The brain really is amazing.
@kissane dear Erin, thank you for your thoughtful paper. The connection between a physical, concrete, event and the abstract world is a good one.
Happy holidays to you.
@WestLawns Thank you!! And I wish the same for you!
@kissane Wonderful article, thank you so much for writing and sharing it. BTW, you're missing a word in this sentence: Not because the circumstances of megathrust earthquakes in fjords are literally the same as the societal problem of collective derangement, but because it gives me new ways to take problem apart and see how the pieces interact.
@crackhappy Thank you! I edited this one with such a smushed brain and it shoooows
@kissane I completely understand. I would suggest going back and fixing the obvious errors.
@crackhappy Indeed. I'm getting to it as I can.
@onpaperwings @HEX I am a devotee!
It is roughly 5k words long and some of the densest abstract thinking I've tried to do in years and I started drafting it while still in the last huge year-end push at Unbreaking.org and finished this morning.
I am toast. See you in January!
