"Lately I've been trying to think like a porch. Trying to think between the natural and the human. Thinking how best to build during a climate crisis. I came across John Cage saying that progress in art may be listening to nature. He thought this activity could best play out on a porch, where we can hear natures symphony and then breathe our own masterpieces. Can we play our porches like instruments? So that we listen to but also learn from nature? Doing this will take practice. Porches are good for that too..." [
"My father was 67 when he died, and that's too young, but lately, as I stare at some hard realities of aging and mortality, I begin to appreciate the fact that he didn't have to endure a long period of frailty, pain, and dependence. My father was himself to very the end, brilliant and good and a force of nature, the most important person in my world, and I miss him terribly even now. Maybe especially now.

A striking example of this comes from Piff's Monopoly study. In the study, one participant gets significant advantages over another in a game of Monopoly based on a coin flip (twice as much money to start, twice as much money when they pass Go, and the ability to roll two dice vs. their opponents one). Despite this advantage, the winnerwho is always the person who won the coin flipconcludes that their win is the result of factors within their control, like purchasing Park Place, not the contextual coin flip. You can imagine how this plays out in real life..." [
