Kind: Notes
Really enjoyed a short day away in nature.
* Saw a red squirrel running along a fallen tree.
* Saw a buzzard across the lake with the binoculars that wouldn’t have been able to perceive otherwise.
* Saw lovely patterning of the underside of buzzards’ wings as they hovered high above.
[[Nathan Schneider]] has published his paper on [[Governable stacks]], can’t wait to read this published version.

Reading the news today, various claims considered:
– [[Democracies are inherently unstable and susceptible to ruin by aggressive, skilled demagogues]]: [[Signs point to yes]]
– [[There is a latent fascist waiting to emerge in all humans]]: [[Ask again later]]
– [[The menace of Trumpism is darker now than it ever was before]]: [[Ask again later]]
– [[Britain is better off without Bristol’s monument to Colston]]: [[Without a doubt]]
Continuing the addition of [[epistemic disclosure]] to notes in my digital garden, I’ve been adding an ‘agreement vector’ to any claims that I make.
I started using the possible answers from Magic 8-Ball for this. e.g. "[[Without a doubt]]", "[[Ask again later]]", "My sources say no".
Because: a) it’s funny; b) they contain both direction and magnitude of agreement, which is handy; c) I prefer to have backlinks to a phrase rather than a number.
