For a long while, I've had this blog idea called "You Can't Eat Software". To break my silence, I thought, I know, I'll just write an opening "what my last year of reading has taught me" summary post. Mapping it out, I've realized that this *might* be a bit too much material for one post. A whole lifetime of blogging, maybe!

The post still hasn't been written, but at least I have a bunch of themes that I can start saying things about :)

Big map of 30 books I've read in the last year or so, mapped to the themes of indigeneity, coming home to a fully living world, design of and for that fully living world, community, collaboration, change agency, individual skills, coloniality, tech (its proponents, and what it's doing to us), and normie business strategy.

#introduction Hi! I work in platform strategy for a game platform. I like #WardleyMaps :)

Yes, I talk #product, #strategy, policy, tech/society and so forth. But looking curiously at denial we're in about the changes we need, individually and collectively, to stave off ecological disaster and the collapse of advanced human society. Not just #climate, but #biodiversity, #topsoil, #water, #transition, #permaculture, #pluriverse, #designjustice, #localism.

A thought I've been working with lately:

The thing that will save us as a species, or more properly, bring us back into healthy relation with the natural, is not industry, or engineering, or politics - but love. It's only by care and love for creatures and places dear to us that we are truly motivated to change at our own cost. It's only through care and acceptance that we can understand how to move safely, along with our fellow beings, from today to tomorrow.

I think, thanks to @thock, I've finally figured out what I want to do about this "tech + transition" theme.

Cheap, humble, simple, appropriate tech, applied with great ambition for social outcomes.

Bring people together to rebuild local systems, knowledge and networks that have been lost to globalized industrialism, enabling societies to exit that destructive system safely.

Using the waste heat of dying capitalism to recover what we need to move forward.
