Bittersweet dreams, probably the best I could hope for.

Drinking coffee, thinking about complex systems. As I maintain some for a living, I think about them a lot. There are an awful lot of them all around us, interacting with us & one another. Our politics & social thinking seem to have a lot of difficulty acknowledging this, a lot of cutting of Gordian knots, makes a mess.

Thinking about this, how genuinely inevitable it seems, wondering what can be done about it. It's not like nothing is being done about it, the high degree of specialization in our society is a way of dealing with it, among other things, makes its own messes.

Trying to see a joyful path.
