We got solar on the house last year. It wasn't necessarily about saving money for me. It became important to me to take a concrete step towards combatting climate change.

But something else started to dawn on me too. The fact that I'm now generating my own power, from an essentially unlimited source, is a truly radical act. I've been thinking a lot about creating a society centered around abundance instead of scarcity. It's not just theoretical.

Currently reading Walkway by @pluralistic, which centers about exactly that. It's the weirdest book I've discover from him yet, but also the most thought provoking.

@virtuous_sloth @polotek @pluralistic it's very likely I'll have read all his novels eventually hahaha

@tastyraspberry @polotek @pluralistic Indeed. Me too. Coincidentally, I'm re-reading Walkaway right now because I got interrupted 7 years ago.
