  2. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    In our own day […] there has been too much of a tendency towards authority, and too little care for the preservation of initiative. Men in control of vast organisations have tended to be too abstract in their outlook, to forget what actual human beings are like, and to try to fit men to systems rather than systems to men.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Lecture (1949-01-30), “Individual and Social Ethics,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 6, BBC Radio

  7. In #madisonwi these introduced and invasive plants are considered ‘restricted’ by the Department of Natural Resources.

    dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Invasi

    Therefore, conservation #organizations may be incentivized to remove them and inhibit research.

    I’ve also notified the city that these shrubs surround large piles of rocks. Therefore, their removal without gradual replacement of native species could alter geological #risks such as erosion and soil collapse due to Karst topology.

    Questions remain…

  8. I've read Many Voices, One Song. A comprehensive overview of the organizational method called sociocracy. Interesting, very actionable and integrates well with other traditions I relate to: systems theory, organizations where all voices matter, non-violent communication, cooperative movements, iterative/agile methods. I recommend it and wish more organizations would adopt this framework.

  9. In this #HotTake I will get #wild with my #thoughts on a couple of key #topics of #interest here.

    Starting with #consensual #sexuality as a whole.

    All forms of #government need to stop making #laws that prohibit how people live their lives as a #group by any #culture #background #race or #creed indeed.

    Secondly, when it comes to the topic of #gender state very clearly your #biological preference on your own terms. Let #organizations choose what those are, not arbitrarily but actually as such.

  10. Organizing Organizations

    Because these stories are told and retold, in meetings, messages, rituals, and daily interactions, they become a form of control.

    In communities, people regulate themselves through stories of solidarity and care.
    In partnerships, through stories of reciprocity and equality.
    In marketplaces, through stories of generativity and proportionality.
    But these moral stories do more than regulate behavior.

    They give it meaning.

    They explain why people act the way they do.

    As such storytelling replaces supervision. They make abstract principles tangible and remind people what it means to be a good member of the organization.

    And what it means to be a “good member” takes three very different shapes.

    Get Rid of Your Boss. Share a Story Instead. – Blog | Corporate Rebels

    In a recent discussion about how money is the agent of coordination between humans, I went down a rabbit hole of trying to uncover what might be other ways in which humans can be coordinated.

    It led me to this very interesting discussion around organizations and how they can be organized with culture – a set of shared stories that reinforce the behavior you want from society.

    Great read.
