Lots to take in here Chris. I wasn’t familiar with the concept of the commons and it has sparked many questions in my head. Most of which I haven’t find words to yet. But I feel you on all of this. Lately I’ve been very aware of my own loss when it comes to focus, allowing myself the space to think and figuring things out, rather than immediately expecting a fully fledged answer. And even to get through this essay (and other long pieces), I have to force myself through the discomfort of a slow pace, because my brain has been conditioned to always expect immediacy.
We are facing complex times. I’m glad there are people doing the thinking to get us through this.

I’ll try to play my part as well 💛
