John Cleese vs Extremism

[Extremism lets you pretend that all badness is in your enemies while all goodness is in you.]

Political Disney World

[Progressivism creates and strengthen. Conservatism preserves and protects.]

[Between 'what is', 'what should be', and 'how to get there', people aligned or unaligned regardless of their viewpoint.]

[People are not 'progressive' or 'conservative' either in opposition to the other by definition: they can think in certain ways.]

[Political Disney World is interpreting people as always bad or always good like characters in a fictional story rather than complex and inconsistent as messy humans can be.]

[The Trend-Anecdote Swapper is a fallacy that misrepresents reality by casting anecdotes as evidence of a larger trend and trends as anecdotal evidence.]

[The motte-and-bailey fallacy stitches a weak and questionable argument to an irrefutable one that gets substituted when the former is scrutinized, so that someone can easily switch between when convenient.]

The Cost of Cash...lessness

At one point they’re a consumer in the goods market, the next an employee in the job market, and the next an investor in the financial market. In each of these spaces they’re but one tiny node, and rather than recognizing the interlocking nature of the markets they pass through, they experience themselves like a blindfolded person moving around an elephant, imagining each part they touch to be a unique object.

They’re trying to imply that the €10 billion is like a gas lost to space, but those monetary costs will appear on a bunch of income statements somewhere else as income earned from providing a service, and will turn up in GDP figures.

Of course there's a real resource cost to producing jeans, and to maintaining the cash system, but there's also a real resource cost to maintaining an army, a logistics system, or stairs in a skyscraper.

An overflowing of difference

Conviviality is an overflowing of difference in the environment. There is so much difference being communicated that the only device possible to transmit it is the world itself. The map expands to the size of the territory. When in the presence of so much information, we feel it is incommunicable. I can’t explain it… I don’t even know where to begin.

On Storytelling

[Find shared language by replacing 'true statements' with words that convey the emotional experience around your solution.]

[Finding ways to solve multiple issues simultaneously helps tell a stronger story than a list of bug fixes or closed issues: try to holistically answer 'what actually happened?']

What is Success?

[Community is about helping each other, rather than having similar interests or agreements or approaches.]

Let's talk about what they're going after next....

[Don't throw your hands up just because it's not a permanent solution: we're in for a long fight.]
