A lot of cross-domain and hypothetical leaps and TBA and TBD. I'll leave it here for now.

Step 4: The Next Generation
The changed landscape becomes a new starting point.
Altered Structures and Constraints create new Possibility Spaces, shaping where the next generation begins.
And the cycle continues.

Jivavarta Framework by Shon Mehta
Step 1: Your Starting Point
You begin at a station in life:
Survive → adapt to the world.
Thrive → capitalize on the world.
Strive → transform the world.
Where you start shapes how you approach the world. #jivavarta #systemsthinking #philosophy

7) It gives me strength to contemplate it. Even if it cannot work. Yet. I still believe we can get there from here.

2) Am I missing other internal, external, or endogenous points of friction that can be looked at?

Systemic Service Co-design week-notes 175. Imposter syndrome was high this week, but it eased as time went on, thankfully. Here’s to a good week ahead 😊✨🎢 @ougradsch.bsky.social #phd #design #research #psychology #systemsthinking #servicedesign #codesign #weeknotes

3) More design details, specs and tech dives later (RAH helped, along with Texas Instruments; my friend David R. knows what I'm talking about).

8) I hope you join us, at least in spirit.

More on heists TBA, but it's 'stealing ideas from the future by kludging necessary conditions' and 'stealing ideas from unrelated domains with new tricks.'

8) #PersonalReferent 1990s EfNet IRC #bearcave and how it maintained and built a defensive community against bad actors.

IRC story and generalized lessons TBD.

Your baseline human right:

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT SYSTEMIC DREAD.

The existence of an org implies an impermeable boundary around its humans. An org can can support no dread. By design.

Again, enshittification or it just happened that way?

2) To have someone speak up and if necessary advocate on your behalf, impartially, like public counsel.

Above all: to eliminate dread of the org. I'll come back to this.

Vital design lessons from Heinlein's gentle consumerist satire of the 1950s corporate treadmill, with an unfortunately jaw-droppingly strange resolution in the romance subplot.

9) In conclusion:

We don't need permission from anyone to clone a good org process and give it away to people to use freely.

First one in, turn on the lights.

Do not work on a human's task without knowing the current state of their assent.

Lack of assent is an immediate, unrecoverable task failure.

A voluntary opt-in, optional prosthetic that does not punish its non-use, but demonstrates that other ways of thinking and living are possible.
