It’s been a busy few weeks for me. Since I just returned from three weeks in Chile and am still catching my breath, you get a roundup instead of new material this week. We’ve had 16 posts so far this year: four from Sarah, two from Haley, one from Ryan and nine from me. The themes have been all over the place: rituals, community, art theory, video games and corporate humor. Both for me personally, and for the blog, it appears to be a season of experimentation.

About Venkatesh Rao
@Venkat:
Can you explain why you don’t believe in collapsonomics and John Michael Greer’s writings in particular?
What I call autopoietic lift. See Hacking the Non-disposable Planet
I do believe in collapse because it has happened in the past. I just don’t believe in the resource-based collapse risks that are the flavor du jour. There are collapse risks in the system, but their sources are different.
@Venkat:
Why did you consider Greer as zero-sum on Twitter?
