Had an interesting talk this week. Seems that neolithic man was destroying his environment before civilization set in.
Hunting for some books on the topic. Please let me know if you have any #recommendations.

Just a friendly reminder that in response to criticism about their frequent outages, #github deicded to hide the timeline view on their status page. That's the kind of "transparency" you are supporting when pushing your open code to their closed servers.
So you've heard about these "anarchist jurisdictions", and you know it is a joke, meaningless usage of the word Anarchism as a pejorative much the same way these TV dictators froth at the mouth at the mere mention of Communism.
Many people who assume it to be synonymous with chaos and mindless acts of destruction, or maybe just a general air of anti-authoritarianism will skim past this headline and ones like it in the future, but Anarchism is not these things, it is a different way of looking at the world entirely.
If you're curious about what anarchism actually is, consider reading this FAQ to get started with the general principles and some history: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/the-anarchist-faq-editorial-collective-an-anarchist-faq-02-17
Share this around with your friends in case they are similarly unfamiliar and are also a bit curious what all this fear-mongering fuss is about!
