How we get there
- (where by “there” I mean “scalable collaborative superorganisms that can adequately tackle the world’s problems on various levels of abstraction; I don’t know how we tackle all of those specifics!)
- unpublished unfinished piece of writing that I started November 15th, 2021
- though the basic concept came to me in mid-2020 as part of the whole non-naive trust dance framework

- could be good for How we get there or other ideas

- realizing I need to rename How we get there
- context
- brainstorming desiderata
- would be cool to have a double-meaning name, like Mother Nature or All The Rage or Controlling People or Out Of Weakness
- what else to call it?

Cointelligence R&D Lab Proposal
- it occurs to me that one interesting way to write this would be to write it as if someone had just read Malcolm's 100× vision & How we get there and understood them completely, and then all I'm trying to fill in is the specific form proposal
- ..although if they completely understood those docs
- ...another way to say maybe exactly the same thing though would be that instead of this being a proposal to someone else, it should just be me writing out the obvious (and the unknowns) of how I would imagine running such a thing
- and I don't think that's actually quite what I want to do here
- part of the whole point of this is to make my thinking more legible
- goes into extensive detail on my theory of change model for full-stack trust-building, to get from having a group of people who are kinda-sometimes doing the thing to a group who is consistently doing the thing

- description from How we get there
- > a group of people that had profound non-naive trust of their collective ability to relate to each other in ways that support the other individuals and the whole, and that came not from a sense of collective identification with the particular group (as opposed to the rest of humanity) but out of a shared capacity to respect the coherence of each thought or behavior or control system that arises on any scale of all sensemaking systems (parts, people, groups). I’m talking about a collaborative superorganism in which the following elements are experienced not just some of the time or most of the time, but consistently:
- it’s safe, workable, and usually enjoyable to look at anything together
- people’s concerns are able to be resolved in good time, or they’re able to reach a shared understanding of why not that feels acceptable to everyone in the meantime
- everyone is able to give & receive feedback effectively, without using blame-based explanations (ie essentially zero defensiveness, victimhood, or shame)
- nobody is attempting to control their own or each others’ behavior
- everything is seen as part of a learning experience
- nobody feels rushed or pushed through their own learning process
- the group as a whole is wise about anything that any member is wise about
- authority can flow naturally without guru dynamics
- they have a very high c factor (a measurement of cointelligence independent of individual intelligence)
- …and many other facets of collective sanity that also aren’t structurally separable but can be talked about distinctly
