Wir diskutieren hier auf #Mastodon gerade die Thematik von #Gamification & konkret Alternate Reality Games (#ARG) wie #WorldwithoutOil , in denen sich Menschen untereinander vernetzen und selbstbestimmt die Realitäts-Veränderungen "durchspielen".

Meine Frage: Enthalten das #Fediversum & der #Solarpunk in Deiner Wahrnehmung auch spielerische Elemente?

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Ein Argument der Game-Designerin #JaneMcGonigal (aus einem #TEDTalk) geht mir nicht aus dem Kopf: Menschen verbrächten begeistert Abertausende Stunden in Online-Welten, um die Probleme virtueller Welten wie #Azeroth zu lösen. Ob es nicht möglich sein sollte, einen kleinen Bruchteil dieser Zeit auf die spielerische Bearbeitung der echten Welt zu lenken? 🤔🔥👾

Natur des Glaubens · Welt ohne Öl - Ein Online-ARG von 2007 zur Ölspitzen-TheseDurch einen Hinweis von @klara_tag auf Mastodon stieß Dr. Michael Blume auf das Online-ARG "World Without Oil" zur Peak Oil-These.

Indigenous scholar Tyson Yunkaporta on gut knowing and brain knowing: "The gut governs terrestrial relations and is in constant communication with land and all our human and nonhuman kin. The head follows slower signals and cannot pivot in ways that are informed by complexity, so the mind can manifest as a top-down governance relation when it is not used in concert with the gut. When a person’s head is in the clouds, carrying or longing for unearned power and privilege, their gut is out of right relation, which may result in a series of cascading failures that affect all the systems and beings around them. Executive function should always be signed off by the gut before any action is taken, if these consequences are to be avoided. Your gut might pick up the subtle informatics of a car salesman weirdly staring at your kids while you’re distracted and checking under the hood—so your head may be telling you it’s a good deal, but your gut is telling you not to trust this creep." - emergencemagazine.org/essay/fi

I was just talking with @saltphoenix about how much I value the Hawaiian concept na'au, which refers to gut knowing.

I like to think that my gut knowing game is pretty strong, and when working correctly, it leads me in the right direction.

I also like what Dr. Yunkaporta has to say about gut knowing governing everything to do with the land. The longer I live with the land, the more in tune I feel with it, and the better my intuition gets (specifically intuition for land stuff, not in general).

He's right that it operates faster than brain thinking and that it's able to work on incomplete data (the dynamics of the land and ocean and sky are so complicated that you're basically always working with incomplete data when making decisions about how to relate to the land).

Anyway, the article is written in quite fancy language, but the ideas are solid.

Emergence MagazineFire in the Belly – Tyson YunkaportaProbing the way we overthink and underfeel our existence, Aboriginal scholar Tyson Yunkaporta urges us to attend to a vital intelligence beyond the cerebral: the fire in our gut.

Terminado. Sigo pensando que el solarpunk no es mi rollo, pero admito que, una vez que conseguí entrar (me costó la mitad del libro), ya no lo he soltado hasta terminarlo. Para mi gusto, los personajes son demasiado perfectos en sus imperfecciones, pero la historia está bien trabada y hay acción: la autora no se limita a crear una sociedad supuestamente utópica y hacer que los personajes vaguen por ahí (¡hola, Becky Chambers! 👋🏽), aquí pasan cosas.

i'm not unhappy with shack life, but eventually i would like to have a bit of an upgrade in living arrangements.

my problem is a lack of imagination, low standards (i'm honestly fine with my place as it is), cheapness (sure i can imagine amazing things, but what's actually affordable?), and chronic indecision.

with tropical construction, the possibilities are nearly limitless. i can't even decide whether i want a single structure or multiple structures with covered areas in the middle...

there are a few things i definitely want:
* covered outdoor kitchen with dining area
* bathroom/shower in separate structure
* shed/dry storage (a lot)
* large dry space to do art (i like to spread out and work on the floor)
* a screened-in bedroom
* a covered building/construction/living area that can be on the ground and between structures
* probably a single story (2 stories raises cost and complexity)

but what shape, size, and arrangement should those things come in? no clue.

this isn't in my immediate or even medium-term future, but given how hard it is for me to visualize what i want (i blame CPTSD, which doesn't allow my mind to even start having good dreams and desires for myself, and lets me be happy with whatever little i have because "at least it's not [living in an apartment, being with my parents, etc.]"), i've started looking at house design books, etc.

the hilo library actually has quite a few house design books, but of course most of them are really fancy. there are some tiny house/shed books, but most of them feature houses in cold areas that have design constraints i don't have. there are a few "tropical house" books, but they all feature houses that are extremely extravagant.

there are loads of creative shackteaus in my area, and i enjoy visiting people's places and seeing what they've done.

also, there are a lot of places on youtube, and you can even find tropical construction - especially if you expand your search beyond english-language sources, to spanish, portuguese, and southeast asia (which probably has the most similar climate to east hawai'i).

mud/earthen construction isn't appropriate here (we have no construction-grade mud, and anyway, we don't need such heavy-duty construction). bamboo is doable, but i'd need to find builders who feel comfortable working with bamboo, and who aren't too expensive (the only bamboo construction company i know in the area is kind of luxury "eco" construction). plus, i'd need a source of treated building bamboo that wasn't too expensive.

anyway, just sharing my thoughts as i start trying to imagine the possibilities within my extremely limited budget and extremely poor/overwhelmed imagination.

to that end, here's the kind of outdoor kitchen that i like to see:

I‘ve just finished the incredible „The Dawn of Everything“ by David Graeber —@DGI — and David Wengrow in the German version called „Anfänge“. Such a powerful book that I highly recommend to anyone interested in #solarpunk. Realising that our current systems are not a given. That another world has always been possible throughout history. It put a bright smile on my face time and time again.
