open question - I've said that trust is only between things with skin in the game, but then how does that square with "parts" trusting or not
- maybe skin in the game is the wrong frame but it's wrt some care/agency
- (ie it's not about some unity consciousness shit)

open question: how does one deal with needing someone else to change in order for the relationship to work?
- Shadow Work and Shadow Integration with Chris Orozco on Sacred Leaders podcast
  - a friend wrote, reflecting on this podcast
    - > I feel like there might be ~3 friendships where I want to say, hey, no hate, no foul, but I can't do this so long as you don't change X. Unless u do X: so long.

convo w Riccardo Volpato

open questions
- What's the role of Self in partswork?
  - (I have a thread or two on this)
  - M > maybe parts are all LH, and Self is RH?
    - should ask my McGilchrist peeps about this
    - since Self isn't exactly the whole, but it's not part-y
    - this would also fit in a satisfyingly unified way with these general principles:
      - left hemispheres aren't made for interfacing with other people
        twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1214444739531100160
      - it's the left hemisphere's job to have blindspots
        (maybe there are tweets on this)
    - could do a whole thread speculating on it #2tweet
  - R > to me it feels a bit like number zero
    - it's another number, but it doesn't have a shadow (a negative version of itself)
    - M > or a number 1, which doesn't have an inverse
  - R > maybe there are multiple Selves, but only one can show up at once?
    - M > I feel like since the Self is integrative, these multiple ones would integrate with each other
- Is Self needed for Internal Trust-Dancing
  - M > and now I'm like "maybe as mediator/space-holder, if you don't have an external person for that"
- What are the components or dimensions required for collaborative culture?
  - is Self an additional item here? or is it actually covered under McGilchrist's brain hemisphere model + flashback/blindspot stuff?
- What's the relationship between default mode network & task-positive network and brain hemispheres?
  - maybe since both hemispheres are always active
    - default mode network ~= right hemisphere running the show
    - task-positive network ~= left hemisphere running the show
  - (this is a very straw handwavy guess though)
  - see research described by Loch Kelly on different kinds of meditation having different effects on these networks though
