- I don't use this, but it seems like it basically does the same thing I do, for you
- I think this connects to the defensiveness = protectiveness thing & thinking that rejects other thinking
- seems relevant to Open Letter to Twitter re Conversational Design
- call w Matjaz Leonardis
- the human may be able to understand every phenomenon, and in that sense be a universal explainer
- but it can't have every experience, or see the world from every perspective
- Mat > dominance & submission
- can't go look at old memes
- & in humans evolutionary pressure acts on both genes & memes, so hard to say that any particular pressure would have caused a particular genetic thing
- usually memetic, because faster
- source: The Secret of Our Success
- even if genetic predisposition to dominance/submission behavior, wouldn't one be able to consciously choose xyz?
- M > depends on exactly what the intrinsic reference levels are
- it seems to me like people definitely have some drive towards autonomy/freedom
- though this may be primarily a natural consequence of having a drive towards meeting all of their needs, actually
- idk if they have one towards dominance per se
- afaict, people don't have an intrinsic drive towards cruelty
- PCT "clap" conflict case study
- M > read Book/Making Sense of Behavior
- resonant with Malcolm's 100× vision doc, on multiple levels

barn-raising
- What's the vision for these? Written November 13th, 2021
- Why the barn-raisings?
- Practice self-energizing motivation
- both in general and also in conjunction with working with other people
- (huh, I could give a little presentation about this at the start of the barn-raisings)
- Practicing collaboration & teamwork
- Get more people launched with businesses
- Provide an outlet for peoples' creative talents
- Create wealth in our network(s)
- Develop a crew that can launch new ideas I might have

- and then also re-reading the DMs themselves
