Go Flip Yourself: week48>49, 2024
digital art and collection - the violin - anarchists and science - neighborhood newsletter - clothing stores not on the Internet
Every week, I intend to recap here what I’ve written and published myself on k7v.in and the best things I’ve watched, listened to, read.
You can expect stuff around life, culture, tech, parenting, street. Not specifically in that order obviously.
Last week on k7v.in
Too many drafts -even more ideas- but nothing’s been published. Let’s make this an accountability post.
Stuff worth checking out
🖼 I first saw Ian’s answer directly on Twitter. The whole thing sounds like poetry to me. Of course I’ve shared many of his influences growing up -starting with skateboarding- so I understand his language. Moreover, with
, we’re allowing people to imbue their clothing with stories and memories. So the whole ‘storytelling’ part of this makes just total sense. Why Collect Digital Art? What Do You Believe?Basquiat's work increases in value because the number of people who know the story increases while the supply does not. Luxury brands are trading on heritage and storytelling, not only products.
🎻 Talking about stories and memories, I’ve found Zach’s story about “a family treasure” so beautiful. The Violin. It’s also an ode to craftsmanship and I share Zach’s conclusion: ‘we need more people like Aaron’.
🏒 This is really a must-read by
. We don’t usually associate the words ‘rebels’ or ‘anarchists’ or ‘rule-breakers’ when we talk about scientists these days and yet, this was how many of our most ground-breaking discoveries have been done: by breaking all the rules of their times [incl. ones enforced by the current science-environment]. It really reminds me how modern-education is mis-designed from the start.Not only do we have useful research that breaks the rules; we also have useless research that follows the rules. You can develop theories, run experiments, gather data, analyze your results, and reject your null hypotheses, all by the book, without a lick of fraud or fakery, and still not produce any useful knowledge. In psychology, we do this all the time.
📍 I found the idea of a neighborhood-based and focused newsletter fascinating. I’ve no problem believing that it’s a great tool for local connections. What a way to re-enchant your immediate surroundings. I wanna launch one now. Thank you
and — and Claypole Commons.Being a “member” means that you belong to the place, and the place belongs to you.
🏬 Of course I’m biased — but writing how happy I am to see some great clothing shops not falling into the ‘Internet-trap’ would be an understatement. Thanks
for reminding everyone what’s truly magic about clothing. And long live the IRL.“They have to try on every single piece in the store,” Green said. “See where it’s made, what it’s made from, learn why it costs what it costs, the fit, the stitching, the trims, so they can talk about it all.”
Enjoy the upcoming week 🥂💎 peace ✌️
