...

"In her recent Front Porch Republic essay, “When the Internet Was a Place,” Raleigh Adams remembers the computer room as a threshold: a door you crossed to arrive online and a door you closed to leave. That remembered doorway is more than a charming artifact—it is a structure of freedom. Doors grant beginnings and endings; they give us a way to be “on” and a way to be “done.” Once you grasp Adams’s point about the web, it becomes hard not to see the same pattern elsewhere. Again and again, practices that began as bounded places we visited have thinned into atmospheres we inhabit. The story of convenience is also the story of thresholds lost.

Consider time. Bells and public clocks once gathered a people into a shared tempo. Work began together and ended together; morning, noon, and evening were communal events. As time moved from tower to wall to wrist to phone, it slid from a common doorway to a private overlay, a luminous summons we carry everywhere. We gained coordination and productivity, and we lost sabbath and seasonality. The clock follows us into the bedroom and the bath, into the few spaces where time once softened into silence.

Light and heat tell a similar tale. The hearth gathered a household in the evening and yielded, with gratitude, to night. Gas and electricity—and later the quiet miracle of central HVAC—extended safety and comfort, which are no small gifts. But they also dissolved natural edges. Dusk no longer gathers us; winter no longer counsels patience; summer no longer slows the town at noon. Indoors, the year feels nearly uniform, as if the seasons were an error to be engineered away.

The weather too shifted from entry and exit to haze. The farmer’s almanac and the evening forecast were moments to consider the week and then turn to other things. Minute-by-minute maps in the pocket are useful—keep the severe-weather alerts on—but constant hyperlocal pings put the nervous system on edge. It becomes difficult to remember what an ordinary season feels like.

News used to ask for our feet and our attention. You walked to the noticeboard or the town crier, unfolded the weekly, or tuned in at the hour everyone else did. These were gates: times to attend to the larger world and times to return to the block and to the people on it. Now headlines arrive before sunrise and long after midnight, a trickle that becomes a flood. “Breaking” is less often an emergency than a tactic. We are perhaps broader in what we know and thinner in how we know it. To be fair, real emergencies deserve real alerts; the tools of convenience can save lives when storms roll in or sirens sound. But perpetual interruption trains the mind for crisis even when there isn’t one, and our civic attention frays because it is asked to be everywhere at once.

Water began at the river. The well made scarcity visible and stewardship personal: you carried a bucket, met a neighbor, saw the source. Indoor plumbing is a mercy and a marvel. It also hides the system and the cost, and when the resource is invisible, responsibility tends to be invisible too. Faucets can teach us to mistake a gift moving through pipes and aquifers for a feature of the tap.

Money followed suit. Market days and bank counters marked the act of exchange. You counted bills, signed a ledger, felt the moment, and then you were done. Tap-to-pay, autopay, and one-click checkout are wonders of design, but they nudge exchange into the background hum of life. When expenses pass like conditioned air, prudence becomes an afterthought. Debt hides inside silence. We pay for convenience with attention we don’t notice we’ve spent.

Music was once an occasion. You dressed for a concert, gathered in a pew, or drew chairs around a radio at the appointed hour. The phonograph made songs portable; the stream made them ambient. Music now accompanies everything and demands almost nothing. The price is not access but occasion. A common repertoire thins because we rarely sit still together for the same sound at the same time. We live inside a permanent soundtrack we barely choose.

Photography opened its door in the studio. A sitting was an event. A roll of film imposed economy. An album asked to be retrieved from a shelf. The camera in the phone, the lens in the doorbell, and the cloud that never forgets have turned image-making into air. We are grateful for memories kept and crimes deterred, and yet constant capture changes behavior under the gaze. It is harder to be unselfconsciously present when the possibility of performance and display hovers over the table.

Even our waste moved from doorway to atmosphere. A midden or a dump day forced a town to face what it used and left behind. Trucks, chutes, and sealed bags protect public health, and they also bury consequence. When refuse disappears on schedule, imagination about limits tends to disappear with it. We don’t see our trail, so we don’t learn to shorten it.

Some domains carry sharper hazards. Gambling once lived behind distinct doors—racetrack, casino, card room—with social cues and hours that functioned, however imperfectly, as brakes. Notifications stitched into a ballgame broadcast blur the line between play and compulsion. Yes, there are cool-off timers and weekly caps; they help. But the design dissolves the banks that once kept the current in its channel. Sexual content, too, required crossing rooms and counters guarded by embarrassment and law. Now the channel never ends. Remedies here are necessarily local and particular: households, parishes, and schools need norms and rhythms that teach chastity and reverence, and they need them more than they need sweeping proclamations. Subsidiarity is not a slogan; it is the scale at which virtue can actually be learned.

Adams helps us see that the internet is not an outlier but a recent chapter in a long civilizational habit. Take a bounded practice that requires intention—fetching water, reading the news, marking the hour—expand it with scale and circuitry, and in the expansion erase the door that made the practice humane. Gratitude for the mercies is right. Few of us wish to return the lightbulb or the faucet. The point is not to reverse history but to notice what we traded away so we can choose, where possible, to buy some of it back.

Buying it back will be small, local, and wonderfully unoriginal. In one nearby township, a light pollution ordinance passed almost without fanfare. Within weeks, neighbors noticed that by ten o’clock the block felt gentler. Porch lights were shielded; lot lights aimed down; municipal LEDs warmed a few degrees. Children pointed out constellations their parents had never learned. Nothing dramatic—just edges restored to the night.

This vignette suggests a larger rule: friction is a civic virtue. A little resistance at the right place preserves agency downstream. Put differently: occasion beats ambience. A practice with a threshold often proves more humane than one that bathes us continuously. That is why the early web mattered in the way Adams describes. Pagination and “neighborhoods” gave us the mercy of beginnings and ends. We have reasons to appreciate what came after; we should not pretend the trade was neutral.

The doorway doesn’t hinder freedom; it brings it into focus. Doors let us enter and leave, begin and be done. When we preserve or rebuild them, we aren’t fighting the future so much as creating the conditions under which people can live sanely inside it. Adams’s remembered computer room is a postcard from that sanity. It reminds us that place and occasion, when they frame a practice, make that practice more humane. If we keep enough doors on their hinges—in our houses, our schools, our parishes, and our towns—the internet can become a place again rather than a condition, and the rest of life can regain the contours that teach us how to dwell."]]></description>

The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table. So it has been since creation, and it will go on.

We chase chickens or dogs away from it. Babies teethe at the corners. They scrape their knees under it.

It is here that children are given instructions on what it means to be human. We make men at it, we make women.

At this table we gossip, recall enemies and the ghosts of lovers.

Our dreams drink coffee with us as they put their arms around our children. They laugh with us at our poor falling-down selves and as we put ourselves back together once again at the table.

This table has been a house in the rain, an umbrella in the sun.

Wars have begun and ended at this table. It is a place to hide in the shadow of terror. A place to celebrate the terrible victory.

We have given birth on this table, and have prepared our parents for burial here.

At this table we sing with joy, with sorrow. We pray of suffering and remorse. We give thanks.

Perhaps the world will end at the kitchen table, while we are laughing and crying, eating of the last sweet bite."]]></description>

    <title>Pascal’s Climate – Popula</title>
    <dc:date>2019-03-04T01:35:50+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["For a decade or more there has been a cottage industry in telling people that individual action is meaningless in the face of the overwhelming force of climate change. Plane rides don’t matter, eating meat doesn’t matter; 100 companies are causing 71% of the emissions and it is they who are the problem; only governments acting in concert have the remotest chance of arresting the disaster. And so on.

One of the most influential of these arguments, with 328,677 shares at the time of writing, is a much-quoted 2017 Guardian piece by Martin Lukacs, who wrote, “Stop obsessing with how personally green you live–and start collectively taking on corporate power.”

“While we busy ourselves greening our personal lives,” he added, “fossil fuel corporations are rendering these efforts irrelevant. The breakdown of carbon emissions since 1988? A hundred companies alone are responsible for an astonishing 71%. You tinker with those pens or that panel; they go on torching the planet.”

While I sympathize with Lukacs’s desire to rein in the energy oligarchs, he and other anti-individualists, like Eric Levitz in last week’s Intelligencer, are dead wrong that individual action doesn’t count.

The 71% of emissions that 100 companies are responsible for are producing?? They are mainly the result of extracting and refining fossil fuels that individuals are using for flying and driving and importing bottled water from glaciers and plastic bird feeders from China. Economic questions of supply and demand are far more salient to the matter of emissions than is any aspect of political will.

Human activity is interconnected. When the breakneck demand for these things ends–as indeed it must and will, either in time, or too late–there will no longer be a market for what the energy oligarchs are selling. From a purely logical economic perspective, it’s the only real way to stop them.

Let’s have a look at this remark of Lukacs’s again.

“Collectively taking on corporate power” is just exactly what will happen when millions of individuals stop flying on airplanes, which, again, is a thing that has to happen in order for the planet to survive. Whether through a global individual cap and trade program or simply because individual people collectively realize, together, that they are dooming the Earth and had better drive to their next holiday, is entirely immaterial. Though even a casual witness to the abject stupidity of the world’s politicians must surely suspect that the latter course has better chances.

In any case, the bigger problem with the anti-individualist stance to taking collective action is an even simpler one. There is no way to achieve collective action without individual action. Collective action doesn’t fall off a tree, it is made up of countless individual acts that turn into conversations, writings, meetings, plans. Individual actions are the only material from which collective action can be made, and to suggest that individuals are helpless and somehow just don’t matter now, in the current emergency, at a time of rising confusion, anger, hopelessness and dread, is nothing short of enraging.

[image: The most effective individual steps to tackle climate change
https://phys.org/news/2017-07-effective-individual-tackle-climate-discussed.html ]

In the Intelligencer, Levitz writes: “With climate change, the pointlessness of individual action is especially acute. If you accept the scientific consensus on warming, then you know your personal carbon footprint is a drop in the rising sea. So, why on earth would you feel compelled to lower your quality of life for the sake of cutting carbon emissions by a wholly negligible amount?”

What even?

Why would you even consider dialing back your own special role in destroying the planet? Why not go vacation in Tulum, while you’re at it, why not go befoul The Beach, you saw it in a movie?

It is high time for an end to the nihilist bullshit that is telling the public it doesn’t matter whether or not they eat meat or fly in airplanes. It does. Not least because even a small chance to contribute to a better possible future gives life and work meaning and value—conceivably, maybe, even more value than just obediently swallowing down your consumerist “quality of life,” spoon-fed to you by the loving algorithms of the surveillance state.

A less lemming-like, suicidal, self-loathing, murderous society would just plain say the obvious: every decision matters, in a time of crisis. Individual, collective, political, business: human life is a single gigantic machine of endless complexity, working every second on innumerable levels, and every iota of the machine involves a responsibility to society and to the future.

So if the planet is to survive the effects of human stupidity and shortsightedness—which question, admittedly, does incline the rational mind to pessimism, but still—and if every single decision counts: Why not take the Pascal’s Wager position? Why not act as if success, as if a good surprise, were possible?

In the Oxford philosophical journal The Monist of July 2011 (Vol. 94, No. 3, “Morality and Climate Change”) Avram Hiller’s (really excellent) article “Climate Change and Individual Responsibility” [JSTOR] applied a philosophical and moral lens to these questions. Hiller gives five conjectures “as to why people erroneously do not believe that individual actions have much or any effects” on climate change. They include the “Nero’s Fiddle” effect, which is like “it’s too late, fuck it, it doesn’t matter what I do”; psychic numbing, or failing to reason properly because too freaked out; limited capacity for valuing, or, “I’m too small to matter at all,” and fallacy of double-division, which is kind of like, “I can get away with putting just one straw on the camel’s back; if anything goes wrong it’s not because of me.” But really the first conjecture he gives is the best one.

<blockquote>Selfishness and denial. “In fact, we do in some way understand that individual actions are significant, but are also aware that if we countenance this fact and wish to remain moral, our whole lives must change. So we subconsciously let ourselves believe that small individual actions in fact make no significant difference.”</blockquote>"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["“Wellman is finding that Twitter isn’t flat,” Vidantam says—as if Tom Friedman’s chimerical “flatness” (the analytic value of which has proven to be nil) is the only possible quality of transformative political agency.

In last year’s revolutions, it wasn’t flatness that gave social media its power. It was its hyperlocality, its novel blending of intimate communities and witness at a distance.

Other work in which Wellman is involved argues for the richness of real-world community life that gets instantiated in Twitter. In a paper called “Imagining Twitter as an Imagined Community,” Wellman & his coauthors find that Twitter networks are “the basis for a real community, even though Twitter was not designed to support the development of online communities. There they conclude that “studying Twitter is useful for understanding how people use new communication technologies to form new social connections and maintain existing ones.”

Here’s the thing: Twitter is part of the “real world.”"]]></description>

During the project, graphic designer Jet van Zwieten will give shape to a public journal that shows the progress and tells the story of the found material and its contributors. This site-specific and investigative approach to design and public space leaves room for unexpected local input and cooperation."

The atoms that serve as infrastructure for these global constructs are physically located in specific countries; the laws & regulations that govern the industries disrupted by these constructs are themselves usually national in structure; the firms doing the disrupting are quasi-stateless in character, trying…to be “global”; emerging & future generations have worldviews that are becoming more & more AmazonBay, discarding the national middle for edges of global & hyperlocal.

We are all so steeped in national structures for every aspect of this: the law, governance model, access & delivery technologies, ways of doing business — that we’re missing the point.

Everything is becoming more stateless, more global. We don’t know how to deal with it. So we’re all trying very hard to put genies back in bottles, pave cowpaths, turn back waves, all with the same result.

Abject failure."]]></description>

Though the department was discontinued in 2003, we’ve been asked about its fate ever since—and reminded by readers of how important it was to them.

So we’re bringing it back. This is a space for you to exercise your sixth sense and tell us about your place. What connects you to it? What history does it hold for you? What are your hopes and fears for it? What do you do to protect it, or prepare it for the future, or make it better?

A few of the contributions we receive will appear in the print edition of Orion. The Place Where You Live will be published in every issue of Orion (as well as online), so submissions will be considered for the print magazine on a rolling basis…

Your contribution can take the form of a short essay or story of no more than 350 words, up to six photographs, a painting, drawing, or handmade map."]]></description>

First we find a venue, maybe a wine bar, office lobby, or traditional gallery. Then we put out a call to photographers to explore a 200 yard radius from the venue’s location and take pictures of whatever catches their eye. Each photographer then selects their best photos, up to 10, and submits them for possible inclusion in a photo exhibit held at the originally selected center point.

The idea behind the project is to expose local photographers, the little details that make each block of San Francisco unique, as well as the merchants that give each neighborhood its character."]]></description>

And that's great -- finding a nearby restaurant is a useful function. But I think a lot of us want something more out of the geo-web; we want the grain and the serendipity of human conversations and gossip to help us explore physical space."

    <title>Gamasutra - Interview: Aspyr's Treasure Troves To Use DS As 'Real-Life Treasure Hunt'</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[""We're creating a real-life treasure hunt, and the DS and this software is acting as your treasure map, your trophy case, and your audiovisual canvas," ... For example, each item emits a distinct sound, which include musical notes and phonetic noises; the items can then be replicated and arranged on a Mario Paint-like musical grid. Like items and other custom creations, these resultant compositions can be traded with other players. But Leingang may be most excited about the subtle real-world activities his game might inspire. "We're using the DS' capabilities as a portable device above and beyond just the fact that I can put it in my pocket or sit on the couch or sit in the bathroom and play it. We're taking this thing and really flexing its muscles as being something that can travel anywhere across this globe," he said. He went on to explain some of the surprising effects the game has had on his own everyday routine in an effort to uncover fresh hotspots."
