"If the way we attend is proceduralized, and put into a manual, and there's a flow diagram, and an algorithm for how you do it, then you've made it completely inhuman. Occasionally you meet doctors who seem to their patients to have sort of ingested a computer-generated diagram of how to deal with a human being. But this is not a good way to create empathy, or link to what your patient is actually suffering! And I see it all across the modern world." https://youtu.be/4W8JYiqUZYQ?t=882

@seachanger Seriously considering getting a fat tire electric bike instead of another car. You decided an “acoustic” bike was the way to go after all eh? …My daily commute is 30 miles over hills though, so I’d need frog legs. Lol
I already planted so I don't want to disturb anything, but for fall I might try this.

How to make DIY Ollas: Low Tech Self-Watering Systems for Plants

Introduction to using ollas in the garden and simple instructions for how to make a DIY olla using a terracotta plant pot. Ollas are an inexpensive way to keep plants watered. They slow-release water around growing plants using an ancient technique discovered by people living in arid regions.

@jan it is wonderful to see that you have seized upon the same portions of these conversations that caught my attention as well!
@ceperez The process of #semiosis is a triadic relationship between a sign or representamen (a first), an object (a second) and an interpretant (a third). This is definitely a representamen, but what is the object? Less may be more in this case.
@seachanger I was referring more to my personal experience than the big picture. I agree with you. There are certain people that I want to hear from. Certain ideas I want to talk about. And I set my own limits for interaction. Wresting back control. Perhaps I’m in a minority.
@seachanger social media is evolving to become a much more intentional experience, where we decide who, and what we interact with instead of letting the algorithms decide for us. Less quantity and more quality, I think.
@jan "I am not an idealist. And I'm not a naive realist. I'm not saying it just is "out there" as the materialist scientists say. And I'm not saying it's something that is "made up" by my mind. It is in the encounter, the betweenness, the coming together, that the thing comes into being." - Iain #McGilchrist https://pedon.blogspot.com/2021/11/god-of-gaps.html

@jan Hartman is new to me, though it sounds from this like he is indeed sensitive to the depth of human experience. https://groups.io/g/mcgilchrist-irregulars/message/28
Re: Values

“One of the things I did when I was 18 [in 1971] was walk for six months in the Middle East. It couldn't possibly be done now. I spent time in Iran and so on. I took a camera with me, and in those six months I took six photographs because all the time I was thinking “This photograph, or any photographs, will never capture what I’m seeing now. It will just reduce it.” #McGilchrist https://youtu.be/EUXV9qRggvc
