New Club Case Studies on mutual funds
Organizational structures can fundamentally change, and align, the economics of financial infrastructure.
While there's lots of talk about "aligned incentives," everyone building new organizational and financial infrastructure can look to the creation of mutual funds in the 1970s as a prime example.

Can anyone here recommend their favorite place to order custom printed tshirts and embroidered hats? Ideally nice quality!
New Club Case Studies on keiretsus
Earlier this year, I read Alliance Capitalism by Michael Gerlach to learn about keiretsus in post-war Japan.
They're clusters of independently managed firms defined by shared governance mechanisms, partial cross-shareholding, and interlocking directorates.
They aren't models to emulate, but some of their disadvantages could be mitigated by transparent, voluntary cross-shareholding mechanisms today.
They could also be a way for infrastructure projects, which require research with different financial risk models, to bootstrap overall funding.

Inner Library consulting, workshops, and case studies
Last year, I started a consultancy through which I write, as well as advise on organizational design, memory, and strategy.
Through this work, Iโve developed workshop formats that help organizations explore how they'll evolve over time.

Thinking about using this as the temp "logo" for my business y/n
First day of archery in the backyard this year. When living in the forest, spring actually feels like a miracle, with so many creatures gone then suddenly, all back.
Weighing up applying for a part time phd in the UK to work on my memory writing
Glad it resonates!

Next installment in the Club Case Studies series on mountain clubs
Since moving near the Appalachian Trail, I've gone deep on the history of mountain clubs, being curious how these organizations comprised of local chapters coordinated across cultural, political, and bioregional fractures.
In the US, they built, maintained, and stewarded most public access trails until the 1970s when many responsibilities passed to the federal government. Today, groups like the Appalachian Mountain Club still have local chapters that maintain basic infrastructure like huts for hikers.

Iโve seen the idea pushed that weโre entering a period of increased agency.
I think this is more of a symptomatic, partial narrative though. Like with the recently updated memory features in AI, what we are actually experiencing is a direct increase of legible memory distributed in our environments.
Distributed memory, high context spaces, make worlds feel infinitely more agential.

Trying to model home energy on Elrondโs valley
Tough couple of days, and I have it relatively easy
It's probably not the best week to share my new workshops & writing offering as I was planning on
Met a group of older people this weekend who also all read Sidhartha as teenagers
Reread it this weekend
Great and strange accompaniment to the deep nausea of the world right now

Sharing Club Case Studies
I wrote brief case studies* of organizations relevant for designing economic mechanisms around ownership of decentralized infrastructure.
The first published today relates to how cooperatives oversaw the roll out of electricity to rural areas in the US.
*The case studies are brief, so if you're interested in one, be sure to follow the footnotes for more in-depth learning.

Giving myself 4 hours this afternoon to build my first agent LLM experiment. It turns out being a self-taught mid Python engineer was actually better than trying for 10x engineer.
I rediscovered an old talk of mine (2019) through doing research today, which was strange. The questions were right but the rest was naive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJuKs_lc26M
Today, perhaps for the first time since moving, I really had the sense that my dev environment is set up

Whatโs your favorite tool for taking notes and cohering concepts from AI research?
I wish I could highlight a phrase, annotate it, and export it to a relevant markdown header section in a document

I spend a lot of time living on this mountainside, tending the fire, and talking to deep research
Iโve realized I deeply internalized when young the dictum that those who really know, donโt speak
Staying tender/gentle/compassionate when the surrounding environment isnโt actually can make you very strong
