  1. A quotation from Terence

    DEMEA: No one has ever plotted out his life’s plan so successfully that he never faces
       New challenges and discoveries brought about by circumstances, the passing of time,
       Or experience itself. Inevitably, you discover you don’t know what you thought you did,
       And the principles we first formed don’t hold up in the face of everyday practice.
     
    [Nunquam ita quisquam bene subducta ratione ad vitam fuit
    Quia res, Ætas usus semper aliquid apportet novi
    Aliquid moneat, ut illa, quæ te scire credas, nescias
    Et, quæ tibi putaris prima, in experiundo ut repudies.]

    Terence (186?-159 BC) African-Roman dramatist [Publius Terentius Afer]
    Adelphoe [Adelphoi; Adelphi; The Brothers], Act 5, sc. 4, l. 855ff (160 BC) [tr. Christenson (2010), Sc. 22]

  10. A quotation from Orwell

    The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1946-03-22), “In Front of Your Nose,” “As I Please” column, Tribune Newspaper

  40. Oxford boaters every day commons

    There will be increasing experience of commons as lived infrastructure, not theory, not an idea waiting to be implemented. As the #mainstreaming keeps failing people will need practical, community-led way of meeting shared needs that work and exists wherever people cooperate outside of markets and hierarchy. Commons are not abstract systems, they are what people do when they stop waiting for permission. We have a recent example - #Oxfordboaters it is messy commons in real time, not a perfect […]
