shirky transaction law: parents see day-care workers as participants in a market transaction rather than as people whose needs had to be respected.. dealing with one another in a market can fundamentally alter our relationship with one another – clay shirky

from 10-day care center story about trust:

with fine for late pick- up, parents see day-care workers as participants in a market transaction rather than as people whose needs had to be respected.. dealing with one another in a market can fundamentally alter our relationship with one another.

introducing the fine killed the previous culture even after the fine was dropped.. and now we must be mindful of getting that culture of trust back..

measuring transactions.. (exchanging/comparing) is killing us. it’s perpetuate\ing this broken feedback loop.. of not-us ness.

let’s trust us.. and give a nother way to live.. with no measures a try..

the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. the unconditional part of left-to-own-devices ness.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it

ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition

A problem with “equality” is it forces us to count and equate the incomparable. It imposes constraints on our preferences. A transactional mindset.
We are different. That is good.
But poverty & lack of agency isn’t okay. Mutually beneficial cooperation. Positive relationships. (http://twitter.com/trevruddockjohn/status/1220689334246002688?s=17)
