My 1974 social media system updated
Lee Felsenstein built the social media platform that resided in part in my communal home in the early Seventies, Community Memory. He posts on substack. He still writes about what social media could be. Kudos to him.

I know Salman Rushdie through his interviews and have yet to read his books. After all the talks I always intend to read them. Same goes for this one. Worth listening to on its own though.

My Reich
I visit this obscure corner of the internet less frequently these days. My focus has shifted to my Buddhist path and how to handle life in an authoritarian regime. Nonetheless I am nostalgic about this place in my old age. Here in this post and the following one I share a couple of things that resonate with my past life experiences.
As a kid I played percussion in the school orchestra and the marching band. I harbor an affinity with rhythm in music to this day. One of my favorite musicians is Steve Reich. I think the following interview serves him well. Check it out:
