  1. "In recent years, the Slow Movement’s popularity was rejuvenated by Carl Honoré’s 2004 book In Praise of Slow. His principle thesis was that only when we slow down and give things space can things grow. Fussing and busying about rarely makes things deeper."

    > I’ve been thinking about EF Schumacher's Small is Beautiful

    I read most of this book about 20 years ago, very influential on my thinking. The permaculture principle "small and slow solutions" was not doubt inspired at least in part by Schumacher's work. I like to think of the fediverse as small and slow solutions for social media ;)
