How do we coordinate together for a more thrivable world?
In this session, we will be covering the following core concepts and practices:
Action Spectrum
Polarity Management
Direction V Destination
Dynamic Alignment
Triangle of Values
Polycentricity
Cookie Model
Process Hierarchy
Narrative Shift
Per our usual explorations, drive by Donella Meadows stack of interventions in a system… and given how narratives drive possibilities…
We have been in a world where the driving narrative is about…
Control management
Top down control, clear boundaries,
Internalize resources, externalize negatives
Control is evil! Banish the devils of detailed planning. Long Live Life!
The new narrative focuses on how organic and responsive life is. Thus:
Emergence
Guidelines for steering
Structures that enable autonomy of subsets
Coordination of distributed autonomous agents
Action Spectrum
Developed from conversations with Herman, listed at the end of the Thrivability Breakthroughs book.
Control
tends to be mechanical rather than living system (unless force)
lower risk, higher predictability
Guide
Allows for agency of players, choicefulness, consent
Nurture
planting seeds of possibility, network effects
higher risk for impact and harder to attribute causality
Inquiry
Where have you noticed the control narrative? What words shows up around control as metaphors?
What narratives do you notice in the guide/nurture realms?
How does that relate to collective intelligence, for example?
