[FRIAM] Joe Rogan interviewing Bernie Sanders.

[steve smith]

Maybe I am the choir singing (off key) to itself but:

In the language of CAS, I propose that "governance" should be considered 
as the process of setting the rules of interaction, boundary conditions, 
and affordances in the goal of obtaining the patterns of harmony, 
efficiency and creativity.   Christopher Alexander, Joanna Macy or JW 
Powell, not DOGE or the ReichMinistry or GosPlan or the CCCP?

Thinking like a watershed, like an ecosystem would seem to be the 
obvious metaphor, but I see the charm (nod to Marcus) to choose to be a 
"free agent", a particle in kinetic brownian motion.   No system worth 
trusting -> collapse the "self" to a point.

IMO Life and Consciousness (whatever that is) is an exercise, a study in 
negEntropy.  Giving over to fascist or anarchistic extremes is like 
thinking "everything will be perfect when the universe collapses into a 
bose-einstein condensate/or becomes a equilibrium thermal-soup of "free 
agents".

It's the good stuff that happens somewhere in between?   I suppose I 
might just let go of the silly conceit of "good stuff" though...  
non-attachment?

Mumble,

  - Steve
