I ran across Adrian Lambert’s article If Collapse is Inevitable, Why Does Seeing Early Matter? and highlighted about 90% of it. If you're into Deep Response, you'll like it.
tl;dr: One function of neurodivergent cognition might be to early-recognize societal collapse or unfolding predicaments and begin the work not of preventing collapse but of cultivating diverse adaptive responses.
Ring any bells?
Speaking of Deep Response, I started writing the field manual companion volumes to Deep Response. I'm releasing it in public a chapter or section at a time. (I'll also make audio out of the sections as I go, so that's what my podcast will mostly become.)
If you read Deep Response and were left wondering how exactly to begin executing the ideas, then Patterns of Deep Response is for you.
Otherwise I’m enjoying the Fairbanks winter, working on my projects (writing, business, DIY around the cabin), getting out for fatbike rides when its not too cold, working out with Jack again now that he’s back in town, and hanging out with dogs.
Noonish in December
I bought a car. Surprised? Yeah, turns out that cars are useful here. Also I have schemes for it. It's a 2001 Honda CR-V manual with a broken speedo, odometer frozen at 103k, slips out of 5th in the cold, the drivers door latch doesn't work in the cold, the exhaust leaks, and the rear hatch doesn't open. Call it a fixer-upper, or maybe a rescue. It was pretty clearly neglected and sat around a bit. The engine appears to run fine, which isn’t a huge surprise. So it’s both immediately useful and a bit of a project, which I’m excited about. The need to effect some repairs on it was part of the attraction.
