-   [[Digital gardens and systems thinking]] 
    -   A discussion on [[systems thinking]] on the Digital Gardeners telegram group led me to think: "do digital gardens foster systems thinking?"
        -   I personally think so.  They have a focus on interconnectedness of notes, synthesis, and emergence of new ideas.
        -   [[Chris Aldrich]] linked to [[Ross Ashby]]'s commonplace book, and posited that Ashby's system would have influenced his own systems thinking.
    -   If the synthesis side of systems thinking is more about the relationships between nodes, then perhaps our digital tools need space for more advanced types of linking?  See e.g. https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/add-link-tags-feature/171

-   Watched [[Pan's Labyrinth]] (again).

-   Listened: [[Ray Ison and Ed Straw, "The Hidden Power of Systems Thinking: Governance in a Climate Emergency"]]
