1\ *Democracy sits on the stack of the military and the rule of law. These two conditions need to exist prior to any form of functioning democracy. They are put in service of democracy – but are also independent pillars of democracy formation. We must acknowledge we are not free of the war machine and the destructive power of war or structure of security. In fact many of our democracies are increasingly in a constant state of war focused on preserving and enhancing interests – we must reconcile this reality – our pretty “libertarian” dreams sit on the shoulders of the war machine – in all its forms from economic, military and cyber war. (Let’s not glorify this but we must acknowledge this reality in our politics)

*whoa

2\ *Representative Democracy is just a form of societal decision making architecture, as much as the famed “market” is a model of societal decision making and “learned societies” (the professions) are another model of decisions making architecture — where the primacy of knowledge & practice holds power — in preference to price or collective agreement) – increasingly this historic triad has been disrupted by rise of scalable social networks and their power to influence societal decision making. Together theses societal decision making structures come together to build a complex and balanced interplay of decision making — fusing long term thinking, with distributed long tail thinking and supply demand matching logics.

*and that’s why.. #1..

if we insist on society decision making (ie: consensus).. and public consensus always oppresses someone(s).. then we need force (war..law)

no longer need to rep.. no more rep ping.. violence ing

we have the tech capabilities (io dance ness) to redefine decision making..

[..]

they were charged to *look after the public interest, not our interest, or just our communities interests — but the public interest

perhaps … the idea that anyone has to.. *look after public interest.. rather than trust (aka: 100%) us as one.. trust the dance.. is what’s keeping us from us..

we shouldn’t perpetuate efficiency of a mode/medium/means we no longer need.

notes/quotes from post: A New Cosmology of Organising – Platforms as cosmo-techno-organizing

Despite a feeling of widespread confusion is in the air, we are slowly becoming aware of one thing: having routinely delegated our sense-making to the conformist replication of a mindless industrial bureaucracy — and having accepted its narrow frames of imagination — it’s showing dire consequences. Everything is falling and we can’t think of anything different.

perhaps 2 convers as infra. . found in the cracks..

cracks in ref to this tweet:

@meedabyte: If the new story of organizing can only be seen through the fissures and the cracks, this may be a good moment to look.

The industrial machine is not going to cope with such unpredictability: it’s too fragile.

hmm.. i thought unpredictability was antifragile

Different levels of collapse will be happening, when unpredictability breaks down the machine agenda

With the demise of predictability, not only Game A (the industrial civilization) is collapsing, but our episteme is failing too. Indeed our rationalist and mechanistic episteme only works in a predictable and thoroughly causal world, where you never need to question the frame..t

whales in sea world

The bad (or good) news is that our identities, as a consequence of the collapse of the system and the failure of our episteme, are breaking down badly.

identity ness.. irrelevant

We are partners in crime in the destabilization of the world.

We find ourselves not only egocentric, narcissistic and individualists but also… colonialists.

in fact.. collapse already widespread..It’s just that is not here, not for us, and therefore we’re not paying attention…We just don’t think about this, or if we do, that’s just a noisy thought, in the background of our productive participation in the mindless industrial machine.

quiet enough to see

But what could be then the meaning of organizing when the world we used to know is disappearing before our eyes? What is the information and knowledge we’re seeking with organizing, through the collapse of the mechanistic, rationalist, and industrial world?..t

self-talk as data for finding locals w/like daily curiosity

ie: augmenting our interconnectedness

This new cosmology needs to take into account that our perception of the world as a complicated machine — to which we relate as individuals separated from it— needs to go. It entails going beyond individuality, accepting interdependence andthe embeddedness of humans in the world. It needs us to bear the weight of complexity, the impossibility to know through exact models.

In an industrial society one doesn’t really learn: one passively receives an education that is premised on keeping us separated from any profound processes of sense-making that could question the frame.

if equity is everyone getting a go every day.. redefining public education becomes revolution of everyday life.. aka: global equity

An education system that is in service of an economic system effectively becomes a self-colonization and the reduction of humans to pieces of a complicated machine: to ensure the flawless progress we are “educated” — as consumers, employees — and just allowed to play a pre-defined role. A thoroughly toxic information ecology, based on algorithms that reinforce our biases, has even grown organically around this model, ensuring that conformism resists the tides of deeper consciousness.

So how do we organize in service of learning in interdependence?

let’s just facil daily curiosity ie: cure ios city.. via 2 convers as infra

If the new story of organizing can only be seen through the fissures and the cracks, this may be a good moment to look.

indeed.. and act

“For a man to change the basic beliefs that determine his perception — his epistemological premises — he must first become aware that reality is not necessarily as he believes it to be. Sometimes the dissonance between reality and false beliefs reaches a point when it becomes impossible to avoid the awareness that the world no longer makes sense. Only then is it possible for the mind to consider radically different ideas and perceptions.” – Gregory Bateson

again.. not sure we have to get to that point.. if we just free people first

let’s do this first: free art-ists.

for (blank)’s sake…

a nother way

I’ve been working on the concept of platforms for years now, and I know that most of the attraction that platforms offer to our idea of organizing has been related to the effects of *plummeting transaction costs in economic activity.

yeah.. *wrong/cancerous focus

perhaps let’s try/code money (any form of measuring/accounting) as the planned obsolescence

ie: ubi as temp placebo..

Despite platforms present themselves to the designer as tools of domination, monopolization, extraction, and control this shouldn’t impede the mindful designer to seek to use them to create spaces of true learning and pursue a reintegration of the organization in the landscape and the community, by means of them.

ie: hlb via 2 convers that io dance.. as the day..[aka: not part\ial.. for (blank)’s sake…].. a nother way

Acknowledging that the episteme and the identity that produced such tools and technologies are profoundly colonialist — I made the example of the smartphone earlier on— and still wanting to interact with them in creating a networked, evolutionary, and re-embedded breed of organizations surely manifests itself as a truly deep and uncomfortable paradox, and a somewhat old and burning question, the question concerning technology

This, I believe, is our moment. A moment to become fully aware of our potential and — at the same time — to de-exceptionalize both the human and the techno-organizing.

It’s the moment to acknowledge and frame our relationship with techno-organizing as part of a process of re-embedding ourselves in the landscape and in the community as bridges to the cosmos..t

ie: 2 convers as infra.. in the city.. as the day..

It’s the moment to look at our organizing beyond any simplistic, mechanistic, and Cartesian episteme and to develop such a relationship with our organizing that makes us able to see, through it, the beauty of the universe and — just as a part of it — of all humans. Our organizing needs to become and act of co-existence.

“The practice of platforms-ecosystems thinking needs to be able to integrate a higher order of human systems complexity, the “civilization” level: it needs to zoom-out.

A massive process of business models reinvention is foreseeable in the short term as asset-heavy, energy-consuming, and infrastructure intensive business models could soon become liabilities: as new policies targeting reductions of environmental impacts (such as energy consumption, carbon footprint, or plastic pollution) are being put in place, organizations need to learn to enable more by owning and controlling less. Entire industries need to be reinvented and this will need to happen through what John Hagel calls opportunity-based narratives.” (John Hagel III (2019). On the Edge of a New Decade.)

Signs of transformation can be seen in the early and sometimes incredible success of services such as wonderschooland outschool(education), opendoor(housing), care.com(care)… and many more. All these services are inherently more contxtual, location based, trust and mastery sensitive: while everybody wants to make the Uber for X, none of these incredible opportunities can be really tackled with a Uber approach. We definitely need to understand more from a design perspective about how to tackle such more “systemic” opportunities, that normally feature multiple sides and stakeholders, longer relationships between parties, usually bigger transactions and inherently call for more participative governance processes and the need for more skin-in-the-game for participants

let’s just facil daily curiosity ie: cure ios city

The practice of platforms-ecosystems thinking needs to be able to integrate a higher order of human systems complexity, the “civilization” level: it needs to zoom-out.

zoom dance ness

Entire industries need to be reinvented and this will need to happen through what John Hagel calls opportunity-based narratives⁴.

rather.. thru curiosity based data.. ie: 2 convers as infra

Our economy will need to reconcile with limits — as in Kate Raworth’s doughnut economics— and with interdependence, in Batesonian terms: in both aspects, platform thinking can be useful by being a design practice that is inherently relationship-centric and intrinsically outside-in.

no need to focus on reconciling with limits ..if we first detox/free all the art-ists.. by listening deeper.. to everyone everyday.. (via tech as it could be).. the energy of 8b alive people will restore the natural balance of an undisturbed ecosystem

New experiments in distributed governance — leveraging on plummeting coordination cost— are making it possible for actors such as cooperatives and communities to self-organize in distributed ways around the production of a growing number of products and services.

we don’t need to produce/serve more things.. we need to get us back/to that undisturbed ecosystem.. where production et al.. is irrelevant.. to ie: eudaimoniative surplus; fittingness; alive/healthy-people

This transition towards organizations based on *multiple-centers, and powered by distributed technological architectures not only requires research in the field of governance but also in understanding what this evolution means for incentives and value perception.

we need to let *multiple approach the limit of infinity.. (multiple is too finite for human being ness).. red flags: thinking we can perceive value; thinking we need incentives

Finally, all these challenges demand us to recognize and nurture the flourishing of human potential that has been — so far and too often — channeled into platforms

channeled into what ever.. ie:

Our bet is different: the future of work, we dare to imagine, is made of self-organising entrepreneurial communities, sharing common technology stacks and protocols, where the talented contributors of the 2020s can not only monetize their personal talents through global platforms, but also collectively organize with other fellow citizens, to co-invest and take over some key productive processes such as welfare, education, food, energy, mutual credit.

red flags: monetize; citizens; co-invest; productive processes; et al

let go

All these developments will be radically transforming for current institutions: some will crash in such a pace of change — it’s no secret that the current organizational lifespan is shrinking widely.

yeah.. what you’re suggesting.. focusing on.. not that radical.. not that transforming..

let go

To explore such an unpredictable future, and provide you with visions of the gist of it — plus the tools to design it — we are venturing this year into writing a new research whitepaper.

what do you mean by ‘know how to put together some content’

@meedabyte: Something people can read/use and engage with

which people (do you want to be able to read/use and engage with it)

seems the answer to that question will help design & determine the deepness/scalableness/transformativeness of the org..

if we’re wanting: all the people; scalable; transformation;.. perhaps we have to have the readable/usable/engageable part to be simple enough for 8b people to be able to access.. today.. ie: sans training/prep/et-al

This article is part of an upcoming book titled “Ecosystems Inc. — Understanding, harnessing and developing organizational ecosystems” that will be published in July 2020 by Thinkers 50, ECSI Consulting and Haier Model Institute. Among the contributors, you’ll find Julian Birkinshaw, Rita Gunther McGrath, Bill Fischer and many great management thinkers of our time.

I’ve often referred to Conway’s law when describing the evolution of platforms and organizations in the past as: “organizations that design systems mirror their communication structure”. . t

let’s try something diff.. let’s undo our hierarchical listening.. ie: 2 convers as infra

ecosystems compete on their degree of openness

competition as cancer (how are you using bezos and amazon et al.. co’s that clearly abuse workers as ie’s?)

As John Hagel explains[11] the evolutive pressure — also due to increasing rate of change and asymmetric risks that can quickly reshape markets — will push an organization’s customer (or more broadly, a user) to look for flows of value creation that go beyond a specific vendor, beyond a specific organization and reach the possibility to create value with anyone, everywhere. T

not everyone.. as long as we have property.. workers for pay.. et al

and has to be everyone or it won’t work

As a result, an effective organizational theory — and praxis — for the post-industrial and somewhat post-capitalistic age, may need to be heavily based on relationships and systems thinking and feature an *unbounded way of relating to the commons that don’t separate between in-groups and out-groups.

*yeah that.

but none of the above sounded anywhere near that

we first need people to free (detoxed) so that they truly know what they want/need for the day.. otherwise.. tragedy of the non common et al

Despite more research and *experimentation is due, some questions that arise in this context are the following: where are the **structures that can ensure both coherence and learning going to emerge from if suddenly the space between small organizations becomes a non-organizational one?

*actually .. just more listening is due..

findings:

1\ undisturbed ecosystem (common\ing) can happen

2\ if we create a way to ground the chaos of 8b free people

**let’s try this infrastructure

And how’s this inter-organizational space going to be characterized?

‘in undisturbed ecosystems ..the average individual, species, or population, left to its own devices, behaves in ways that serve and stabilize the whole..’ –Dana Meadows

Is this space public or private?

both – 3 and 30

Is it agent- or data-centric?

both.. self-talk as data in order to create legit agency/authenticity

How are those “coherence ensuring” systems going to be created, evolved and governed?

by focusing on the root of the problem (maté basic needs) instead of symptoms.. makes ‘ensuring/governed’ ness irrelevant.. ridiculous even

At what scale?

ginorm-small

across the board [to get to the roots of healing.. it has to be all of us]

How are these new emerging systems going to confront with existing incumbent organizations that today seem to monopolize the infrastructures of the information age?

again.. by getting at the root of the problem (maté basic needs) .. that 8b people (everyone) resonate with (crave) today

More independent blockchain projects — above all Ethereum for example — born to overcome centralised power, can easily turn out to be “tilted” playing field, as noted by Holochain’s chief architect Arthur Brock where influence and wealth accumulate and centralise over time harming trust.

actually.. any form of measuring/accounting (which is embedded in holochain et al).. will harm trust et al.. which

the dawn of a new age of organising. The developments of this new wave will happen within a firm but also in the space between them, from individuals to communities to bioregional playgrounds, states, and civilization and in the realm of fluid cooperation for a world in constant flux more than at the scale of single market opportunities and in the groove of competition.. “companies will disappear, while organizing won’t”:.. t

“Next generation of organising is about contextually unique solutions to emerge and adapt based on a coherent whole” — Dave Snowden (link)

so.. how to facil org for this: in undisturbed ecosystems ..the average individual, species, or population, left to its own devices, behaves in ways that serve and stabilize the whole..’ –Dana Meadows

ie: 2 convers as infra

This seems to point to the need for organisations to become more entangled in the local context and ramp up their role in society, beyond shareholder interest.

yeah.. beyond finite set of choices

ie: curiosity over decision making

McLuhan’s saying that “we shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us” never went out of fashion for a good reason, which is why organisational designers and leaders everywhere better get their hands dirty with re-thinking their tools for a context of health-driven local embeddedness.

but they don’t have to.. we can ongoingly shape ourselves if we use tech as it could be..

ie: to listen & connect to undo our hierarchical listening to self/others/nature

This (new form of org) won’t come easy, as the old needs to give birth to the new, or the “not yet” as Lisa Gansky posited, and there will be casualties in the process as people cling onto legacy and power.

not if the ‘new’ is based on the essence of being human.. ie: maté basic needs (so something every human already craves)

New constituents seeking to express themselves will further need to learn to solve what Joost Minnaar called the “three fundamental problems of organising”: setting direction, integrating effort through incentives and dividing labour between the different entities involved in the act of organising.

setting direction to be whatever.. integrating curiosities sans outside incentives.. there would be no labour (like we know it).. people would just be doing their art.. and then .. because it’s their art.. they’d be dying to give it away.. share it

This will lead to evolutions in the way we design, make decisions and conceive financial rewards.

red flag we’re doing it wrong: decision making about finite set of choices; seeking rewards of any kind

both working on modular tools that “commons engineers” and DAOs developers can use to designand integrate quickly digital infrastructures for collective governance, financing, voting, and decision making of new ventures.

red flags (that we’re not common\ing): financing, collective gov, voting, decision making

This considerations all led us to conclude, in the fourth research updatereferred to previously, that organisations need to provide reflective spaces for deliberation and consensus-building

not really consensus building.. but listening deeper to find like minds/curiosities.. everyday.. that way .. no one is oppressed by public consensus

As algorithms outrun managerialism and industrial governance systems, we need to play on the essence of human potential when rethinking organising in the 21st century.

We’re in the midst of a profound systemic crisis: defining value is becoming very hard, with cascading effects, creating profound uncertainties with regards to meaning of organizing.
Tackling the Question of Value is not just hard but probably the most wicked problem of all

defining value is becoming very hard

do you mean defining what the word value means?
or
coming up with values to org around?
or..?

to first.. perhaps undefinable (so not a wicked problem) .. ie: graeber values law.. value.. generative value

to second.. (perhaps wicked problem solved?).. ie: maté basic needs

his response:

@monk51295 value is both *perceived* (trans-contextually) and *defined* politically-institutionally and definitely shapes organising (both of these perception layers) cc @NoraBateson

Collaborative decision making is, way too often, the placebo of organising.

later in thread

@meedabyte: I’m not calling ODT, just rather different context. I’m not attached to a metaphor but to the substance of the inadequacy of constructs such as “collaborative decision making” in the organisation

inadequate and oppressive/cancerous.. et al

the red flags of democracy ness et al

quote by joe norman

..”any organization that seeks to persist has to, by mathematical necessity, [ref: Ashby Law] respond to different challenges at different scales. So the question is, how do we enable a system to discover those natural scales of behavior that it needs to operate on?” (2/3)

what we need is to let go of the responding ness.. of the mathing ness..

‘..new ideas won’t emerge w/o the jettisoning of much of our accustomed categories of thought—which have become mostly sheer dead weight, if not intrinsic parts of the very apparatus of hopelessness—and formulating new ones.’ – David Graeber

Ironically enough, decentralisation (Networks) as a technology will only cause the crisis of incumbents (Markets) but rely on even older regulatory players (Institutions).

depends how much you decentralize (ie: to itch-in-8b-souls.. everyday)
