- Books/Scale by Geoffrey West has connections with ep6 of Awakening from the Meaning Crisis
- it highlights new, non-obvious enabling constraints & selective constraints that organisms exist within
- a dynamical systems theory lays out an engine
- a virtual governor
- + a virtual generator
- = a virtual engine
- thread about why I love GCI
- checklists, tight ship
- intake form
- flow
- team work

hosting dinner parties
- food
- did need about 8 entrées for 8 people
- 7 would have been okay but maybe a little short/empty
- pad thai & pad see ew quite popular
- non-pineapple fried rice not that popular
- curries kinda popular, most people went for meat
- could probably do fewer veg dishes until I start getting people who are defs veg*n
- with all the noodle dishes, didn't need 2 large cups of rice for 8 ppl, <1 would have sufficed
- I like a tradition of "last person in gets the door for the next person" as people buzz in
- gives everybody a little role
- gets people meeting each other
- snacks were great
