aThousandCateaus (bookwyrm) finished reading Steps to an Ecology of Mind by Gregory Bateson
Welp, finally done. ereader told me it took me like 40 days to read, which is surprising. I think it's a brilliant book filled with a lot of different insights when it comes to cybernetic/systemic/ecological thinking.
The main problem I had with the book was that some of it was a serious slog. Like there was so much redundancy in certain parts (3 and 4 specifically), that made it really hard to get through/want to read sometimes.
I am very glad that I did though. At some point in the future I want to read his "Mind and Nature" which is a later work that's shorter and probably more streamlined.
