       "Christopher Alexander and his group of architects, back in the ’70s, compiled the groundbreaking book A Pattern Language, which looks at the built environment from a city scale down to the décor on your house walls in terms of the human relations that structures and spaces elicit."#Starhawk, 2016https://www.ic.org/social-permaculture-what-is-it/#PatternLanguage #ChristopherAlexander #architecture #Psychogeography

       "In a healthy group, power is balanced by responsibility—that is, people earn power by taking on and fulfilling responsibilities. And when people take on responsibilities, they are empowered by the group to carry them out."#Starhawk, 2016https://www.ic.org/social-permaculture-what-is-it/In Uncle Ben's famous warning to a young Peter Parker;"With great power comes great responsibility."What Starhawk is saying is that the opposite is equally true. If you want more influence, take on more responsibility.

       FYI Starhawk is the author of a powerful proto-solarpunk novel called The Fifth Sacred Thing, which I highly recommend. There was an attempt to make a film version about a decade ago, which produced this proto video;"Tell your enemies this; there is a place set for you at our table, if you will choose to join us."#StarHawk, 2013https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=lROCSDQg9WMTBH one film couldn't do justice to this story. You'd need a trilogy, or maybe a steaming series.

       @ByronCinNZ> A Pattern Language - still love that book!Haven't managed to read it yet. It's been on my list for a long time, but never quite got around to getting a copy. But I've read a lot about it from secondary sources, and I see it's influence everywhere.
