| Category:Flattening the Curve | The idea is that we reduce the rate of infection through the population which spreads out the time of the pandemic but, most critically, the number of sick at any one time. The rationale for this is that it is very costly to have a high number of sick people at one time. This goes for providing essential economic services but, as this diagram shows, it is really all about health care system capacity. As Italy has shown us, people die essentially because they cannot get hospital-level care. If the infection rate is too high, health care capacity becomes quickly overwhelmed and doctors have to engage in triage, a word which now means choosing who will live and who will die.

The only guiding principle of the frictionary is that previous definitions, however erroneous, must not be erased.

| Category:Herd Immunity | A euphemism for epidemiological neoliberalism. Much like the unconditional belief in the free market, herd immunity relies on the assumption that an epidemic is best overcome by leaving it unregulated. But just like neoliberalism, it results in violence against the weak and the poor: elderly and disabled people, homeless people, refugees and people with severe health conditions – many of whom are likely to also have a lower socio-economic status because of the correlation between poverty and illness.

| Category:Radmin | Radical administration | This definition is lifted from this webpage (https://fo.am/events/radmin/ ), which describes a coterminous summit held on Feb 14, 15 & 16th, 2019. RADMIN is hosted by the Cube Microplex (Bristol), Feb 14, 15 & 16th, 2019. It's a summit in which we will reconsider the 'dull' spaces of administration, managing, trading and maintenance, not as a set of largely hostile impediments which invade or co-opt arts practice but as sites for critical and creative enquiry, radical histories, experiments, politics, wild imaginaries and meaningful work. Gathering in formal and social situations, the base for this entirely reasonable and perception-breaking assembly is the wilful and adhocratic Cube Cinema, which has been self-organising for 20 years and first coined the term 'Radmin'. During workshops, talks, performances, projected informations and entertainments we will take an artist-led and speculative approach to rethink how we (as individuals and organisations) can do business. RADMIN will draw on the rich history of the Cube as a place where creative experiments in IT, HR, bar management, account-keeping, revenue and organisational form have always been core to the project. The summit's programme will feature exemplary alternative business practices, guest appearance from celebrity administrators, creative application writing, infrastructure tours, monetary experiments, organisational portraiture and a deep collective examination of how business - in the arts and beyond - could be different. WITH: The Ad Hoc Collective, 3 Stages of Succession, Bristol Co-operative Gym, Centre for Plausible Economies, Company Drinks, Cube Cinema, CUPS (Creative University Professional Services), Different Space, Drawing Exchange, Feral Trade, FoAM, The Incidental Unit, Institute for Experiments with Business, IRATIONAL.ORG, Legal Eagles, Polar Produce, Plumbmaid, Richard Youngs, The School for Organizing, UWE Business School, Viriconium Palace AND OTHERS. Downloads from the summit: Compiled by Feral Business Research Network, which brings together radical economic scholars, artist-organisers, business operators and other researchers around this urgent question. At a time when ‘business as usual’ has been cast broadly into doubt, we investigate how artists might be mobilised to design new, wild and experimental shapes in business and enterprise for a radically reimagined economy.

| Category:Referent Power | The ability of a teacher/individual to establish strong interpersonal connection with a student or student cohort. Not mentioned anywhere in this pad yet, but it's an interesting sociological term I just read about today.

| Category:Situationer | A publication, coming soon in 2020 | A document written in times of crisis or disaster or sensitive maneouvering. Describes the conditions, concerns, difficulties, and active tactics faced on the ground, intending to give the lay of the land for a complex situation. This term was popularized in the Philippines during the dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos. Pirate published situationers were circulated by different activist groups. This term continues to be used in political, aid, and civil society language in the Philippines today. Unsure of its origin or use in other countries. Google searching only brings up hits in the PH. | 2020 |
| Category:Social Distancing | Avoid mass gatherings and maintain a two meter distance from others ––– please note: THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS MOMENT. Self isolate. <======There are extenuating, particular, and grave circumstances that sometimes (not always) make 100% self-isolation impossible for some people. I do agree with you to a great extent though triggered by all caps yelling. Source: "What Should I Do?

| Category:SPIN | ''SPIN IS THE WDKA CLIMATE GROUP'' | Welcome! SPIN is so glad you're here, here in her web which is spun from the bottom up- please feel free to stick around for a while, weave yourself in! SPIN spins webs to catch green projects within the academy that wants to grow beyond assignments and accomplish lasting change while connecting with likeminded spirits. Originally she grew out from [[Erasmus Change|ERASMUS CHANGE]] and today she considers herself its artsy and unconformist sister. You might find her tending the [[Rooftop Garden|rooftop garden]], plundering the trash bunker or downing laced beetroot juice with the [[XR 010|rebellion]] in the cellar. Although for a sober overview of her position see her [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pLFlsnr58PqtmxmnTDNLf9F3lcH8HXWP1dDAu36Lm3c/edit Manifesto] While SPIN loves action she also sometimes enjoys to just bide her time together with her friends. A web spun well equally supports a multitude of butts and like a family sized hammock swung between wise trees it can be a place to exchange ideas, recipes and resources, complain about the weather, speculate about cybernetic gardens or exchange the most fertile tomato seeds. And if there's a thread missing she encourages you to knit it in! ''ETYMOLOGY'' SPIN is an abbreviation for SymPoeitic InterraNet. Sympoeitic: pertains to sympoeisis. from old greek, Sym -'with, in company with, together with' and Poeisis - 'creation, production' = act of 'making with' Interranet is a wordplay on internet and terra. which makes SPIN '''A SPIDER THAT SPINS EARTHBOUND NETWORKS WITH OTHERS''' 'But can we say that the spider’s project is to weave its web? I don’t think so. We might as well say that the web’s project is to be woven.' -Fernand Deligny ([http://thirdrailquarterly.org/wp-content/uploads/01_Deligny_TTR5.pdf The Arachnean]) To stay up to date, join the [https://chat.whatsapp.com/LVIqzSNNoyQ1asPuLSYDrj WhatsApp group] | 2018 |

| Category:Thick Institution vs Thicc Institution | Large, corpo-conglomerate type institutions thick with multiple levels of departmental structure, large staff counts, etc..., and most importantly, bogged down by interdependent, obtuse bureaucratic procedures. This kind of bureacracy is inevitable as institutions scale up in size and have to standardize operations to protect larger and larger need structures. It is somewhat necessary (?) for a large institution to be thick. but how can me go from thick to thicc, juicy, supple, generative, curvy (as opposed to linear and frail) institutions? | 2020 | |
| Category:Transformation | 2018 | ||
| Category:Trickle-down Fear | (Thick) Institutional fear-mongering, passed down from tier to tier, expecting the chain of command to be motivated by fear of major consequences alone, without care being taken to mitigate catastrophe anxiety. At some point, this structural fear must be metabolized into a humane response. Refusing to perpetuate trickle-down fear protect's the institution's frontliners/first responders from being paralyzed by robotic scripts that are not flexible enough to deal with (crisis) on the ground realities. Institutional frontliners need agency, trust, and support from their suprastructures to enact solutions AND commit mistakes without excessive fear of punitive measures (to borrow from military terms: court martialling). Some mistakes are inevitable in crisis situations, where bullet-proof, tried-and-tested safety scripts are not always possible. | 2020 | |

Lives by motto "You must stoop to conquer." Doesn't believe they're "too good" for popular discourse or mass platforms, understanding the possibility of de-Facebooking as somewhat of a luxury that not everyone can afford. Terminology borrowed from hacker vocabulary (nefarious black hat hackers who destroy digital society, somewhat shady gray hats who say they are on the side of justice but perhaps use questionable techniques or are mercenaries for hire, and white hats who supposedly use their forces only for "good" but can also be kinda mercenaries for hire). | |
