- Fantastic Fungi brings us together as interconnected creators of our world
- About Normalist and Weirdist responses to the Great Weirding > a lot to chew on here… by Venkatesh Rao

Pause with Josie – Episode 8
This is episode-8 of the calm conversation with Josie Gibson from The Catalyst Network, inspired by Robert Poynton’s book “Pause – You are not a To-Do list“. The approach is simple: we both read a chapter of the book and highlight three sentences, and mark the words that resonate most. These sentences and words are the triggers for a very slow-paced conversation on whatever comes our way. No tricks, no gimmicks, just a gentle and calm wandering and meandering of minds. As this chapter is the “Afterwords” section of the book, this is also the last episode in the Robert Poynton series. Maybe other calm conversations follow. Who knows?
Here are Josie’s three sentences:
What I couldn’t anticipate were the unplanned pauses that would occur along the way
If anything, rather than delay things, the time-out accelerated them.
Too much pause and nothing gets done.
And here are my three sentences:
Rehearse ideas with different people
Carlo Rovelli’s book, The Order of Time
That long gestation period meant that once I started I was able to get going quickly
We covered a wide range of topics:
Ideas as the starting point, not the end point
Chance
Serendipity
STOP ASKING QUESTIONS
Confidence and permission
Revisiting intentionality
THE APPROXIMATION COLLECTIVE
What is real and what is not?
Implicit judgement
When pause become procrastination
Vs.
When pause becomes heaven (zen/buddha)
It also gave rise to a new t-shirt design:

Maisvelden – Cornfields (poem)
Maisvelden
De eerste naakte velden
Vers geschoren stoppels
Nog ruig van de hete zomer
Ik ruik het sap van gevallen appels
Straks zijn ook de kruinen ontbloot
Zoals een koningshoofd
Met nu al wat sluiers mist ’s morgens
Natrillend van genot
Cornfields
The first naked fields
Freshly shaven corn stubbles
Rough of the hot summer
Soon the treetops denuded
Like a bare king’s head
Fog veils In the morning
Vibrations after pleasure
Petervan Ride – August 2020

Pause with Josie – Episode 7
This is episode-7 of the calm conversation with Josie Gibson from The Catalyst Network, inspired by Robert Poynton’s book “Pause – You are not a To-Do list“. The approach is simple: we both read chapter-7 of the book and highlight three sentences, and mark the words that resonate most. These sentences and words are the triggers for a very slow-paced conversation on whatever comes our way. No tricks, no gimmicks, just a gentle and calm wandering and meandering of minds.
Chapter-7 is about Time for Pause
Here are Josie’s three sentences:
A longer pause…gives the intelligent unconscious – what Claxton calls the ‘undermind’ – a chance to have a crack at a problem, bringing a more associative, creative quality of thinking to bear.
In any natural system, there is always ‘redundancy’ or ‘requisite variety’ built in; stuff that isn’t useful yet, but could be one dayf relying on just one.
The decision to start properly came in a pause.
And here are my three sentences:
Our fulfilment does not derive from being as efficient as possible
It (pause) gives you the chance to follow your mood, not the schedule
Instead of trying to cram more in, you focus on getting more out
We covered a wide range of topics from redundancy, richness of experiences in a complex world, we are not machines, beautiful change, elegant movements, cybernetics, requisite variety,…
…the “undermind”, leaving space open for sacred moments, commitment, to start doing, at the right time, after the right pause, after reading all the signals.
We also discussed how efficiency kills imagination, and why we should go into the t-shirt business 😉

- The book “5 Minds for the Future” by Howard Gardner
- John Hagel’s difference between narratives and stories.

Petervan’s Delicacies – 16 Aug 2020
