- emergent strategy game alpha play with Naryan Wong
- card ideas for myself
- facilitate external conflict
- facilitate internal conflict
- help person boggle about implications of having tasted collaborative culture
- I have THOUGHTS
- I feel like the game needs playmats
- like I'm imagining a bit of a
- that has PERSON
- their $ in/out
- (present, future, total)
- their time commitments
- their communities/connections
- their location
- and then slots for like romantic & family fulfillment
- oooooh which reminds me of the Business Model Canvas
- we also need something like a CONTAINER card
- like "online self-based workshop" is a container
- puerto rico retreat is a container
- they're not totally fungible but this is a real natural category
- I mean maybe container is just a type of resource?
- and then you have a card that is "create container X"?
- part of the power of having containers be their own cards, not just a container, would be like... a container could have a custom playmat that requires certain resources to run, then creates certain affordances
- the thing so utterly needs backlinks, and for cards to have like... actual identities
- the resources are super vague
- "learning" is like, not actually fungible at all at all
- money seems to exist at so many scales
- like Naryan put a $10/mo hosting fee on his website example, but imo that should be considered free at the scales we want to talk about... maybe $ measures hundreds of dollars... which I guess that would cost over the span of one year!
- $ = $100
- $$ = $1000
- $$$ = $10k
- $$$$ = $100k
- $$$$$ = $1M
- different types of resources
- some input resources get consumed (eg time/money)
- whereas others (eg network, awakeness, learning, Complice) don't
- some resources feel like mostly input or output, or something
- input
- organizational skill (I guess this is getting kind of hidden by simply "this person has the skill to run this")
- output
- other resources needed
- audience / attention
- 👁️ awakeness / mindset
- surface area of the scene
- (like I sort of want to have different resources for different phases in the funnel??? tho there is no single funnel)
- Naryan's aim with this seems to be largely "how do we decide what to work on and how to help each other?"
- I have a subtly different default aim, which includes inspiring other people to take things on
- huh, feels like there's an important role here also for the kind of economic mapping Benjamin and I did in 2016, of like
