Inner Library consulting, workshops, and case studies Last year, I started a consultancy through which I write, as well as advise on organizational design, memory, and strategy. Through this work, I’ve developed workshop formats that help organizations explore how they'll evolve over time.

Memory Research Group Starting June 26, I'm leading this research group that meets every two weeks on Thursday. My work on memory and technology now forms the basis of a book project Artificial Memory, so I’m excited to bring my background research into these discussions, as well as to bear witness to this research group taking on a life of its own. Link with more info is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jCnl-0_JpZgnL1a5GJktuFuFnd3jOp8a_i6hHecO9Pw/edit?usp=sharing

As part of the Edge City Protocol Worlds track last week, I hosted a session called Memory Models Book Club. We read excerpts from Elizabeth Eisenstein's The Printing Revolution in Early Modern Europe to compare the phase shifts engendered in part by the printing press to today's phase shift from computing and AI. It featured many of my favorite things, like the art of memory, plus a story about Louis XVI being recognized fleeing Paris, and even a roughly hewn hypothesis about "memory realism," challenging the notion of the printing press as only a reproductive technology for the written word. This session will give way to an enduring Memory Research Group, which I'll share more information on soon.

Imho the field most poised for disruption is study of the past (archaeology) Imagine a person digging their shovel in the dirt and finding Gobekli Tepi x 100 as technologies allow us to see underground, through forests

One future of education might be not holding seminars or lectures but just providing quiet, distraction free, time bounded sessions to read, etc.

New Club Case Studies on mutual funds Organizational structures can fundamentally change, and align, the economics of financial infrastructure. While there's lots of talk about "aligned incentives," everyone building new organizational and financial infrastructure can look to the creation of mutual funds in the 1970s as a prime example.

New Club Case Studies on keiretsus Earlier this year, I read Alliance Capitalism by Michael Gerlach to learn about keiretsus in post-war Japan. They're clusters of independently managed firms defined by shared governance mechanisms, partial cross-shareholding, and interlocking directorates. They aren't models to emulate, but some of their disadvantages could be mitigated by transparent, voluntary cross-shareholding mechanisms today. They could also be a way for infrastructure projects, which require research with different financial risk models, to bootstrap overall funding.

First day of archery in the backyard this year. When living in the forest, spring actually feels like a miracle, with so many creatures gone then suddenly, all back.

Next installment in the Club Case Studies series on mountain clubs Since moving near the Appalachian Trail, I've gone deep on the history of mountain clubs, being curious how these organizations comprised of local chapters coordinated across cultural, political, and bioregional fractures. In the US, they built, maintained, and stewarded most public access trails until the 1970s when many responsibilities passed to the federal government. Today, groups like the Appalachian Mountain Club still have local chapters that maintain basic infrastructure like huts for hikers.

I’ve seen the idea pushed that we’re entering a period of increased agency. I think this is more of a symptomatic, partial narrative though. Like with the recently updated memory features in AI, what we are actually experiencing is a direct increase of legible memory distributed in our environments. Distributed memory, high context spaces, make worlds feel infinitely more agential.
