Might be a bit advanced if not at reading level yet but the 8 y/o and I got an ORIC Atmos setup with an old TV monitor last year. She seems to be having fun with the manual which walks you through learning BASIC by programming the Atmos from scratch.  

The manual itself is super accessibly written for kids and I think naturally nudges them to start messing around making simple games by the end of it.

I would also bookmark the BASIC 10-liner challenge. I think regardless of age, feeling like youre part of community helps a lot with motivation/self-exploring: https://gkanold.wixsite.com/homeputerium/games-list-2024

Fun fact: the founder of Project Euler got his start with one of these. Something also seems to click in a kid's brain when you can POKE/PEEK into memory and the insides of a computer in one of it's simpler forms. 

Modern computers abstract away these interactions and essentially bury the core protocols that made the system transparent and accessible before. The doing process is faster but the learning process much less direct.

Edge City

This is why experiments like 
/edgecity are exciting to me. It's one way to increase the democratic bitrate of cities.

History

at the Tokyo National Museum and interesting how the entire history of Japan is :
- the region coming into contact with another culture
- adopting some facets of jt 
- followed by a period of distance either due to war or natural causes 
- Make the adopted facets Japanese  and do it better than the og culture 

applies to Pottery(China), Buddhism(Korea), Cars (America)

Constants, parameters, numbers = the protocols that govern a system

What does "hardening the commons" actually look like in practice? 

@vgr, @trent, @js, Sam Chua and I are hosting a workshop today at 3:30 to go deep into it!

Healthy social production becomes economically viable when: 
- The tools needed for production are widely available
- Tasks can be broken down into small chunks that many people can work on independently
- There are effective ways to combine everyone's small contributions

I see what you mean! The trickster aspect would reflect the protocol's ability to adapt and evolve, always staying one step ahead of the game.

Trickster embodies reflection coming into being; in him we see both the need for reflective consciousness (without it he suffers) and the rewards of that consciousness (with it he exploits the world).

— Lewis Hyde

If a protocol was personified it would probably take the form of a trickster

The Catholic church might have been the original network society. 177 million acres of land owned across the world (and 2nd largest landowner right after the british royal family). Async knowledge sharing as folks travelled from hub to hub on eduction, retreats, missions, monastery stays.
