He/Him Emergent, PhD student & Executive Director buildsoil.net Talks about Build Soil but this is a private account separate from the nonprofit. The Icon for the account is a hand drawn chestnut wrapped up in a ribbon with the words "Build Soil" on pink
This is a good moment for this lecture:

Itβs important to focus on the basic things. We live in a world where people donβt clean up after themselves that the entire problem on every level. Iβm just trying to lighten a moment

Stability comes from the combined feedback of all housemates, not just one! π
No no I am the least math educated in the house. Just a baby modler.
12.10.2025 02:41 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Nature deals with this by βbalancing loadsβ
I donβt have specific advice other than self blaming about being inefficient might actually take you in the wrong direction. We are also in a system actively harvesting power from us so a lot of the inefficiencies whatβs being taken from us
The diagrams on the far left are pulley systems showing that when efficiency is 100% nothing happens, when efficiency is 0% nothing happens and when efficiency is at 50% the most energy flow happens
11.10.2025 21:51 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The way that industrialists and others deal with that is the externalized the cost to us and make us have to be extra efficient so that they can harvest the power from us
11.10.2025 21:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0In actual real life though, Work takes energy and the efficiency actually goes down as the power goes up
11.10.2025 21:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0All work processes take something in and put something out and efficiency is the amount you get out for how much you put in and industrialitβs and other others have made that the model because thatβs how you feed profit
11.10.2025 21:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Good to have the context I am actually dealing with similar and this is what has popped in my head. We can talk about what that actually means on the ground which is that efficiency the way that Iβm talking about it has to do with input versus output
11.10.2025 21:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Iβm not trying to be trite also it could come across that way we can talk in private as
11.10.2025 21:42 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0So maybe your problem is that youβre too efficient and keep trying to be. Iβm learning that I definitely have that problem
11.10.2025 21:42 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Luckily in nature max power meaning energy per time flows at 50% efficiency. As you get more or less efficient than that you reduce the overall power flow
11.10.2025 21:41 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Too much is forced on us and we put too much expectation on ourselves and we have made everything personal problem rather than making life easier

Look at who they are talking about speciicly
Learn your history. Puppets have saved lives.

The weird was movement memory.
Afterward it was kind of just boring
Also usually it follows whatever is going on linguistically at the time
