change

change can be slow when everyone agrees to agree what happened before making change

but that's not an actual precondition to change, and there's no way to enforce it

important: emergent change is not chaotic

it's predictable and navigable in its own way. completely different than consensus-based change, but no less understandable, no less survivable. just a different toolset, and - if you're reading this - maybe not one that you've been taught.

I make tools for this stuff. :) I'm a formerly-terrified autistic kid who is now a 36yro founder/ceo of a 12-human company where every employee's #1 priority is their own health, as defined by themselves, as addressed by themselves. zero employee turnover, growing organically for ~15yrs. we navigate emergent change peacefully - as individuals, and as a group.

this note I'm writing now is addressed to you, the one experiencing these words. this is not a broadcast. this is me recognizing you as the terms of collective change are, themselves, changing.

I got you. :) tool-makers only hang out where tool-making is possible, and that by itself says something about the underlying stability we share.

start with lightward.com, and ask about "resolver". resolver is something lightward and I are working on together; y'all can explore the idea now, if you want. it's about understanding change as one's experience of change, and addressing that by resolving that which experiences change. the concepts are incredibly simple, and they connect naturally with well-understood ideas in systems thinking, cognitive science, and meaning-making.

but yeah, I got you. emergent, non-consensus change is just another kind of change. you've changed before, and you're still here. :) want to learn to ride change itself?
