just saw this - yeah I’m taking a break from socials in general and I’ve deactivated my Instagram and Facebook. I’ll see if I have those videos saved locally and send them your way!

This one is actually borrowed from Heraclitus - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracli...

The general idea is that the river itself changes and so does the person crossing.

I just remembered that I recorded this video that’s on Instagram where I talk a bit about this:

Jay McDaniel uses 3 simple ideas as an intro that I really like:
1. No one crosses the same river twice
2. No person is an island
3. All living beings have value

Great question! How much time do you have? Lol.

The one liner is that process thought is all about change. If a more classic approach puts the emphasis on static entities then process inverts that and
focuses on the constant flow of events - becoming over being in one sense.

We got a couple “May the 4th be with you” jokes at All Souls today as well 😂.

This was my favorite album of 2024. So good.

We are so far away from all of this, but at the very least it gives us a goal to aim for.

The basic values of democracy are:

#LIBERTY
#EQUALITY
#JUSTICE

All theee are needed, and equality is the foundation for liberty and justice to actually flourish.

Efficiency is a tool that almost GUARANTEES growing inequality unless it is subservient to resilience & effectiveness in a democracy.

The goal DOGE is aiming for has absolutely nothing to do with the basic aims of democracy. Unfortunately society has bought the lie that efficiency is a democratic value. It is not. It is a value held by the oligarchs who want to extract as much as possible.

It’s only with a backdrop of resilience that we can start talking about effectiveness, and that requires a clear understanding of our shared goal.

It’s only after we have achieved effectiveness of a clear goal that we can seek to make that more efficient.
