You have reached the personal website of John Abbe. My life/work/play is a [[https://thrivable.decko.org/Resilience_Ain_t_Enough|thriving present and future]] for people and other living things, and eco- and social systems generally on [[our planet]]. This means more real, free, generative, contributory, and collaborative ways of seeing, understanding, doing and being, by and for everything from individuals to groups to globally, from my own [[Slow|personal]] healing and growth to [[cat herder|cat herding]] to world undomination. I understand [[story]] and the ability to hold our own lightly to be central to understanding or doing anything effectively, and [[systems]] experts seem to [[https://eqpa.wordpress.com/2019/03/11/an-audio-introduction-to-the-twelve-leverage-points-to-intervene-in-a-system/|affirm that]].
What I'm most involved with right now / recently:
Gathering info about [[2024]]
[[Co-Intelligence Institute]] (on & off since mid-'90s origins)
several other projects relating to journalism, news, and forums, across various media
[[Walnut Street Co-op]] (home most of 2006–present)

This [[wiki]] includes its own [[blog]] but for now I am writing more as SlowEnough @mastodon.social — https://mastodon.social/@slowenough — and at Equanimous Passion. Some of what's in them is me writing about things for others' benefit (and my own clarity). Some is notes and records for myself, done in public as a living experiment in transparency and in ways to organize & relate things. And of course just being in conversation/stigmergy with (waves hands) all that.
(I should really move somewhere [[https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/27/24256361/wordpress-wp-engine-drama-explained-matt-mullenweg|other than wordpress.com for now]], and look into how moderation is going at mastodon.social because [[https://www.techdirt.com/2019/11/20/masnicks-impossibility-theorem-content-moderation-scale-is-impossible-to-do-well/|scale may be just a bad idea]]. Lots of [[https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/aug/02/ai-chatbot-training-human-toll-content-moderator-meta-openai|hidden costs]].)
Obviously, I have opinions about [[communication]].
There are many ways to [[contact me]].
Let's create a [[list card]]. (If I can remember what that is. The wonderful/annoying thing with Decko is you can always dig a little further yourself...)
