I forgot what a good attitude adjustment a visit to is.
It's also a great exercise for , with all the interconnecting systems and levels of abstraction. I would love to know if anyone has compared Stanford to Boston children's.
I have my own theories as to why they differ in the way they handle user experience.

‘Success to the successful’ is a powerful dynamic.

Cooperatives can help spread out the benefits of success at a key point where capital consolidates them: ownership.

How do you try to share success?

@RuthMalan Aldo would love to find more tech projects that could use his strategic consulting on sociotechnical design, and I'm wondering if you might know likely paths forward for that.

Many friends in my community don’t understand how I describe what I do with mapping, information flows, community software, and other things.

But when I show them a thing I knit, they don’t ask why or look at me sideways. It’s rather a relief. So here’s the first pair of socks I’ve made.

Yes!

This “ability to be a good teammate” or some version of this, is in pretty much every system map I’ve made. you can find it or see it missing in most. Socialroots is collaborating with ProSocial World for exactly this reason.

I call it the “slowest moving node in the system”, linked to both emotional/ relational skills and critical thinking.

Who’s interested in a exercise over the next couple months considering the “Success to the Successful” archetype in the context of and Chokepoint Capitalism?

I’m especially looking for participants who have experienced success and subsequently been frustrated by structural barriers to sharing their success and lifting up others.

With complexity dissolving into chaos so frequently, authoritarian simplicity looks appealing to too many.

You know what’s a great antidote to authoritarian tendencies?

✨Giving many people real power. ✊

What are the biggest obstacles to sharing power in your communities, organizations, or teams?

Also, to state the obvious, the underlying architecture is itself determined in part by the worldview and associated mental models of the people creating it in the first place

@christina There is a guideline that hashtags consisting of multiple words should be PascalCase or camelCase, because that helps screen-readers find the word boundaries and say something sensible.

While this method served me for decades as a big org mess problem solver, in any real wrangling the easy steps have likely already been tried. Instead identify that step in the context of root causes & determinants of the system's health. That launches you into the real problem. More times than not for me, the real problem was far easier to work through because others hadn't already tried mucking with it.

Thanks Christina, have not seen it but it is not totally accurate... the graphics used oversimplify the actual human behavior and emergent clusters that form in online spaces.

@00Aaron thanks for sharing this! Would love to compare some of these with the incentive dynamics explored in this paper, which I am currently working on mapping:
