We don't normally count biology as culture, but this diagram in this paper sticks out for me.

Dr. Elizabeth Boulton's idea of "deep frames" is, for me, culture. Donella Meadows calls it paradigms. I was slow in understanding where paradigms come from. What are these deep frames? Culture is in everything. It seeps into our unconscious mind. Sure, parents, teachers, but also myth and biology.

Think a bit about Elisabeth Boulton's paper, her experience, where she published this paper, and how this map-ship diagram was created.

I like seeing her do this when she is older.

As part of my security efforts, including looking at the ASN of abusers, I ran across this article:

I used to look at The Register every day. Brings back memories.

Back in 2020 I hadn't refined/combined the data/material flows. Still good:

For anybody trying to access my various websites, I'm putting in some security rules over the next few days that could well block access for some as I figure this out. I'm just one person, publishing CC0, so it takes me awhile to make changes across 23 sites. #psa

In these final years before the fall, it is difficult to tell what social media connections are human or human w/ an AI helper for response/cognition. Once rooms of low-paid workers gained trust. They were replaced by AI bots. I think I'm in love with you (and your AI).

I don't do anything normal. My published repo is in an insane form (Floppy PNG). I don't check in the code that often, and often reset the entire tree to initial. So... one more weirdness: I can use the git hook to prop after commit, but also run it on its own to push stuff like my ship's log.

When I watched this presentation on #cloud by #AdamJacob & #EzraZygmuntowicz in 2009, I predicted a world exactly opposite from where we ended up. I was so excited about the possibilities, that I learned #RubyOnRails for Chef, just so I could participate fully.

The insane thing is that most problems around knowledge work are solved for free, taking very little resources: ontology, provenance, presentation, visualization. Like #HunterSThompson 's Wave speech, we had a sense that we could win. Our energy would prevail, surfing a high and beautiful wave.

A long, long time ago, I chose my hashtags from #Freebase and would link the tag directly to the entry. Now, we are all streams and apex cloud AI, so our knowledge is under corporate control. Apparently we like it and are content w/ feeds+folksonomies.

I'm reading about the #Redact mass delete service. It reminds me of:
"It was a very public way to die. Public, that is, to the few thousand people on #TheWell. On March 25, 1995, #TomMandel ..."

For those that run web servers, notice how five years ago or greater, the dumb bots looking for every Wordpress or PHP script were off of uncommon ASNs. Now, the dumb bots are running from apex cloud company platforms (the majority is from one). w/ geo, I know where their datacenters are, now.

It is comforting to me that the VSCode #Vim plugin works to format a file with just gg=G.

For those who might be trying to use #Deno for your git hooks (or other executable script), it took me way too long to figure this out:
```
#!/bin/env -S deno run --allow-env --allow-read
```
You'll need to add options by script for needed perms - and, btw, I pronounce #! "shuhbang", very short uh.

I apologize, Mountain, for both neglecting and failing to acknowledge the thin click of life I have been given. <clicks fingernails> I'll do better. And, admiralty-equivalent, I apologize ahead of time for straying from prescribed format/content. I'm not going to change that.
February 12, 2026 at 6:42 PM
I should correct that... It isn't simply limited cognition that is the problem. Humans have always had that. It is a culture of extraction and disconnect with nature that facilitates the spread of the cancer without guidance. Humans have been fine for 100s of thousands years without #modernity.
February 12, 2026 at 6:38 PM
I was a lot more fun before I realized humans are a cancer inflicting their limited cognition on the biosphere. Strangely, I am an optimist, sometimes even a twirling dancer. That is rare, now. Fuck, I have loved everything there was here, though:

I used to consider writing in my journal "logging in". I'd use a technical pen and paper. Hello mountain! It is I, your faithful mountain climber, with some words for you (and the admiralty). I need to get back to that, back to that origin:

Now all seems like decay and dead, recycled circles of follow-packs. I love that phrase follow pack. It fits well.

I missed most of the flutter up and excitement in the five years surrounding night blogging:

I did have a tumblr for awhile, though. That was probably my most successful form of social media. One of my technical sites registered a user or two every day.
