When thinking about shocks, we too often focus on the individual (prepping, insurance) and the government (early warnings, physical infrastructure). We have lost sight of the critical role played by #socialcapital - the connections to others

When we think about disasters, we spend too much time on the individual level (insurance, prepping) and the state (physical infrastructure, early warning). We ignore the power of #socialcapital - the connections that provide resources, information, + help

When we think about shocks, we too often focus on individual level action (hoarding, insurance) and top down state action (hazard warnings, physical infrastructure). We overlook the power of our #socialcapital - the ties that bind us - to help us

During shocks and disasters, what factors help us survive and thrive? In my PrepTalk for FEMA I argue that #socialcapital - the ties that connect us horizontally and vertically - are critical. They assist with getting through and recovery as well

A (very new) short piece on navigating privileges, social capital, and ironic labels as an immigrant — but also why I chose this label.

For all our discussions about artificial intelligence, social media and demographic decline, perhaps we should ask a simpler question: Do we know our neighbors? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/24/japan/japan-neighbors-stop-being-neighbors/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #neighborhoods #loneliness #socialcapital #communityties #families

Social Capital, Well-Being and Chinese Youth by Yan Xu & Zhiwei Qiu & Liyu Chen, 2026
This book examines the relationship between social capital and sense of well-being among China’s youth. This is a population on whose well-being hangs the long-term social and economic development prospects of the entire country.

Excited that with Dean Kyne and Dominic Kyei we have a way to map #socialcapital across the United States
TL;DR: the index complements existing indicators and deepen understanding of relational capacity, vulnerability, and resilience across U.S. counties.

During shocks and disasters, what helps us survive and thrive? More than aid from the outside or the damage from the shock itself, I argue that #socialcapital - the ties that bind us - are critical

A couple of noteworthy quotes from that same article:
"53 percent of workers who received workslop said they were annoyed, 42 percent viewed the sender as less trustworthy, and roughly half considered the colleague less creative, capable, or reliable than before. A third said they were less likely to want to work with that person again"
Ouch! That's going to hurt #KMers a fair bit 😱

During shocks and disasters, we too often focus on individuals (prepping, insurance) and government (seawalls, early warning systems). We should be focusing instead on the role of #socialcapital - the people in our networks who provide help and resources

For the record, here are the other impulsive, spontaneous, unhinged research questions I came up with in 10 minutes of rapid brainstorming, last Wednesday.
- How can decentralised, peer-to-peer, and encrypted communication protocols favour the development of autonomous and localised yet federated communities?
- What concrete communication technologies can already be adopted to prepare for a post-climate collapse world?
- How can practices of networking and collaboration benefit the re-population of rural areas?
- What role did the neoliberal progression of tech oligopolies play in the de-politicisation of technology?
- How can community-maintained infrastructure serve the needs of all the World’s population?

Research question prophecy
I am far from actually beginning my research for the thesis I will be writing at @xpub next year. Still, together with my class we are already exploring interests, ideas, and PMOMMs. A pattern should be emerging out of them, outlining our research focus.
Yesterday, as I was chatting with @barbs, I somehow came up with a research question that feels particularly close to me. I am publishing it here for posterity, because I am super curious about how this will evolve over time.
What is the relationship between in-person networking and Web surfing in accruing social capital?
I want to investigate how life crossovers relate with clicking links and surfing the Web. Then, how do the two contribute to growing a person’s (or a community’s) social capital, in the interpretation of the word specific to Bourdieu’s philosophy?

Want to quantitatively measure #socialcapital? Proud of the work that our team with Dean Kyne and Dominic Kyei has done to map bonding, bridging, and linking ties in North America in the Social Capital Index (SoCI)
TL;DR: we've made visible the ties that bind us

My book Building Resilience argues that more than aid, wealth, or prepping, our #socialcapital- the connections between us - help us survive and thrive during shocks and disasters

We focus too much on the work by individuals to prepare (prepping, hoarding) and the actions of governments (top down policies, gray infrastructure). We miss the critical nature of our #socialcapital - the people that help us survive + thrive during shocks

Research shows that remote work productivity is influenced by social capital, which is shaped by relationships, norms, and trust. 📌
Organizations that invest in their social architecture see better long-term performance.

We spent too much time focusing on individual behaviors like prepping and hoarding and on top down activities like gray infrastructure and dams. We need to focus more on our connections and networks - our #socialcapital
