Enjoying the ramping up of discussion that’s been happening in lately.

Reminded of some ideas I really liked from Alison Powell’s book [[Undoing Optimization: Civic Action in Smart Cities]]:

"In contrast to the smooth optimization that constrains citizenship, friction slows down the process and requires negotiation, balance, and acceptance of similarity within difference."

is not always bad. is not always good.

@neil I've been enjoying it too! Thanks for the Powell link I picked up a copy on ligen.is 📚 Aside: I do like the idea of getting the @SocialCoop reading group going again.
