- host events more easily using conditional commitment w coliven platform, via Richard Bartlett
- > conditional commitment (I will if you will) solved one of the most difficult parts of my business model
before: any time I launch an event, I have months of doubts and stress because I don't know if tickets will sell, do I wait for last minute buyers or cut my losses and cancel. I hated it
after: when I launch an event I have to sell 10x deposits within the first 3 weeks, otherwise we cancel and everyone is refunded. concentrates my marketing effort into a small window. puts prosocial pressure on people to commit early or miss it. massively reduced opportunity cost bc worst case I lose 3 weeks of promo time instead of 3 months

- I'm more looking at the intimate aspects, and the connective issue

- in particular, stuff Richard Bartlett says in minutes 15-22 of a convo on futurethinkers (1h34 total) makes the following errors:
- conflating
- power-over & dominance
- power-with & prestige
- I'm not certain that these errors are his; they might be in the original models
- Richard Bartlett himself is critiquing a common conflation of
- hierarchy & power-over
- noting essentially (though in different words) that you can have functional hierarchy
- which is not the opposite of "dysfunctional" but a reference to how hierarchy shows up all the time in nature in completely non-authoritarian ways
- at any rate, it is not just possible but inevitable for prestige to confer power-over, even though this is sometimes not consciously recognized by the people involved
Dimensions of Growth
- here's a dimension by Richard Bartlett:
- denial → rage/panic → burnout → flow
