…And here’s a nice explainer and sketch of Stewart Brand’s pace layers, albeit published on Substack:

Sketchplanations drawing of Stewart Brand’s ‘Pace Layers’: fast layers innovate, slow layers stabilise.

From top to bottom, each ‘slower’ than the last:  

- fashion: fast 
- commerce 
- infrastructure  
- governance  
- culture  
- nature: slow.

…Here’s the Notist page where Jeremy kindly shared his talk. Its slides are still there.

The ‘pace layers’ bit begins at slide 26

…Although Stewart’s point about *pace* is well-observed, what we’ll see more acutely as things go into reverse, is *persistence* or the lack of it.

We have no option but to get back closer to that which has always been there but which we have severely diminished.

More severely than most are aware.

In terms of Jeremy’s talk, while we still have a lot, we can start doing #frugalComputing… or keep pushing towards bigger collapse, which will have the weird quality of being both quick and slow
