Literally the best thing about Jung’s Red Book is how he keeps repeating “this is my path not yours” “you can’t follow me find your own way” “wor betide those who live by examples, life is not with them”
He reeeaaallly just wants folks to individuate and stop copying

There’s a Hawaiian myth that says this world came out of the chaos of the destruction of a previous world, and the octopus was the lone survivor that slipped through.

yeah Bluesky is cool, but last night I posted a short thread on the other site and got two unprompted book recommendations that are highly relevant to my current specific interests, and I'd love to bring some of that energy over here

Braitenberg's Law of uphill analysis and downhill invention:
“It is much more difficult to guess the internal structure of an entity just by observing its behavior than it is to actually create the structure that leads to that behavior.”

fiction writing is a lot more interesting when you see each character as a part of the author. you need to make a toy model of the world to write fiction, and that tells you a lot

"ruling class" is useless analysis because it locates agency in an Other and enables offloading responsibility to them

what is it about portland that every time i hear about it its so weird???
Seriously concerned. People talk a big game about this and I want to believe. But I'm asking: are you really committed? I mean, are you darth vader in a kilt playing a flaming set of bagpipes while unicycling committed?
Because there are role models out there we got a lot to live up to

The difference between an open system (email, web, Bluesky, Noosphere) and a closed one (Twitter) is not so obvious during good times.
Like how there may not be an obvious day-to-day difference living in democracy vs good emperor.
But when a bad emperor happens, the difference becomes stark.

I think I’m at well over a dozen people where I was able to help by saying, “It looks like you’re having a trauma response exacerbated by intensive meditation. Here’s how to get effective help.”

main thing we can do rn to make things more welcoming here is writing posts that are easy to engage with - asking questions that have easy answers, participation memes like "post a picture of [whatever]". take the perspective of someone who just got here and ask what would get them to reply
quick icebreaker #3: what's a project you're currently working on (could be very small)? what interests you about it? what kind of help could you use?
quick icebreaker #2:
🔸 what's something you'd like to talk about with more people? be specific! "music" is okay but "[this specific artist]" is better
🔸 go through the replies and talk with people about the stuff you're both interested in!
