    The effect of group size of group dynamic is a perennial fascination of mine.

    In particular, why as groups get bigger are the dishes less likely to be washed?

    One aspect is that it is harder to monitor/sanction as people become more anonymous in big groups.

    Another perspective is gratitude exhaustion. It seems out ability to feel empathy is limited ('suffering of one a tragedy, of millions, a statistic') and perhaps we simply feel less grateful when a 'mass' is responsible for good things.

    Just finished watching 'Century of the Self' by Adam Curtis, a 4-part series about the psychology of public relations in the 20th century and the strong influence Freud had upon it. Really interesting, stereotypically Curtis.

    Interesting comparisons to be made between Focus Groups (similar sets of people, asked for feedback on specific things) and Citizens Assemblies (random sets of people, asked to deliberate on broad issues.)

    Just finished Machiavelli's 'The Prince' (English translation by W. K. Marriott)

    Very absorbing, readable and provocative. Anecdotes from ancient Greece and Persia to personal experiences in ~1500 Italy.

    After involving myself almost exclusively with cooperative organisation, it is nice to read about the logic of power in such a naked way. Significant that he puts a Prince's success on having happy peoples, which depends on prosperity, low-taxing and generally low intervention!

    For about 6 months, I'm the leaser of a Kleingarten ('Small garden', popular in former East Germany with a socialist history)

    I now have a deeper appreciation for the use of 'grassroots' in an activist context: not only growing 'bottom up', but surprisingly hard to rip out.

    Trees, it's trees, and we should be growing them instead of grain to feed animals which we kill for food.

    @nicksellen Argh! It's been compressed, original: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A15lmqlQi1L.jpg

    British Empire is in red, and since it wasn't a continuous stretch, it's not so easily visible at the Roman/Byzantine/Holy Roman empires.

    Just found this nice #dataviz of civilizations. Lots of ones with cool names I hadn't heard of before. Seems like nothing lasts for ever.

    Does anyone know of #FLOSS business plans which preserve developer autonomy and maximize user value?

    Pay-walling and Freemium are financially exclusive; hosting adverts is aesthetic suicide. Donations can be good, but often don't provide enough security for developers of new projects. Paying for features can complicate developer priorities, drawing focus away from the backend.

    I'm interested to hear all ideas, both theoretical and practiced.
