Wisdom in SpaceAny intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction. -- E. F.

Wisdom in SpaceModern economists are used to measuring the "standard of living" by the amount of annual consumption, assuming all the time that a man who consumes more is "better off" than a man who consumes less.... Since consumption is merely a means to human well-being, the aim should be to obtain the maximum of well-being with the minimum of consumption... The less toil there is, the more time and strength is left for artistic creativity. Modern economics, on the other hand, considers consumption to be the sole end and purpose of all economic activity. -- E. F.

Light_JourneysGood morning!I've been thinking a LOT about systems (of all kinds) lately, and not only does this seems appropriate, but also what <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TravellingLight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TravellingLight</a> is all about.“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

Mark McGuireThanks, <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@strypey</a> I'm following up on <a href="https://mastodon.laurakalbag.com/@laura" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@laura</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@aral</a> now. I remember the WWW before Wired magazine interrupted and took over the narrative. Paulina Borsook wrote about that moment in "Cyberselfish: A Critical Romp through the Terribly Libertarian Culture of High Tech" (2000).<a href="http://www.cyberselfish.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.cyberselfish.com/</a> As they say, if you want to change the world, change the language you use to describe it.

StrypeyWelcome to the fediverse <a href="https://mastodon.nz/@mark_mcguire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mark_mcguire</a> !> I’ve been thinking about EF Schumacher's Small is Beautiful I read most of this book about 20 years ago, very influential on my thinking. The permaculture principle "small and slow solutions" was not doubt inspired at least in part by Schumacher's work. I like to think of the fediverse as small and slow solutions for social media ;) See also <a href="https://mastodon.laurakalbag.com/@laura" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@laura</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@aral</a> 's work on Small Tech.<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/EFSchumacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EFSchumacher</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SmallIsBeautiful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmallIsBeautiful</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SlowCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SlowCulture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SlowSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SlowSoftware</a>
