Morning Walk About
Community potluck this afternoon.
We will finalize the summer shared infrastructure improvement agenda. Also probably raise the community fee slightly. This has been frozen for a couple of years, do to low incomes. The decision process we use has been described as "nonchalant anarchy." We really don't have a formal process. We just talk until everybody nods yes.
I am smoking a brisket, and there is rumor of pie.

the disagreement....
1. Intellectual Humility
In many ways, this is our master value: it is an awareness of ignorance, a call to acknowledge how little most of us know on the vast majority of topics, an appreciation of the deep complexity embedded in every social/political problem and the profound uncertainty inherent in policy prescriptions and interventions.

When you state a climate goal as a nation, it might provide some kind of national guidelines. But it’s really just complete greenwashing. You get a ton of attention and then when you fail to even come close, no one really cares. Scotland has done a better job than most nations here, but as the Earth burns, they are falling woefully short too of their state goals.

New folks, I know a lot of us use the mobile version of CoSo, that's cool. But I use the web version because it offers a more dense information environment. For instance I generally have 6 columns set up. And use keyboard shortcuts to switch between columns and to scroll.
You can set up lists of your favorite people, or columns with multiple hashtags. This way you can easily find the wonderful gold hidden in CoSo's stream.
If you need help just ask.
