the dance

2. the unconditional part of
left-to-own-devices ness is
something we’ve not yet tried..
and so we keep perpetuating
tragedy of the non common

3. huge..
and it’s what we/me have been focusing on the last 15 ish years (ie: on the
ground ness).. the means/conditions we need to give that a legit try

4. aka: the dance

5. ‘Everyday we wake up and collectively
make a world together; but which one of
us, left to our own devices, would
ever decide they wanted to make a world
like this one?’
David Graeber

6. ’in an undisturbed ecosystem the
average individual.. left to its
own devices, behaves in ways
that serve and stabilize the whole’
Dana Meadows

7. we need to give that dance a go

8. left-to-own-devices ness
means letting go enough to be
legit unconditional
what is it about loving each other unconditionally that scares us so much
– come sunday (pearson)

9. how we gather in a space is huge
we need to try spaces of permission where
people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity
(own devices ness) over decision making..
because the finite set of choices of decision
making is unmooring us..
keeping us from us

10. ie: whatever for a year.. a sabbatical ish transition

11. 15 yrs’ findings:
1\ undisturbed ecosystem (common\ing)
can happen
2\ if we create a way to ground the seeming
chaos of 8b *legit free people
