i was obsessed with the idea of a 'system' before. thinking that sorting that out... was really important. lots of work in phil of science has focused on that... systemic capacity view of function / dysfunction where such things are relative to some idealized norms for systems... instead of an historical (evolutionary) view... anyway... systems seem a lot less mysterious to me now... but this idea of 'work'. that seems important. 'organization'. electricity... that is f*ck*ng amazing. that you can make a battery from ionic solutions. f*ck*ng wow. that you can do that... makes no sense to me at all. and how you would even begin to build something like a computer... or... circuits. what the hell are they? what are they doing? how does that work? so much to learn...
