just picked this one up in the thread and maybe this is the place to go with it.
Just to clarify briefly what I meant here:
Some people believe we can only solve our society/political problems
with new information (meta) technologies. Some think we should focus
on more concrete actions instead. Both positions are fine. We just
have to acknowledge different beliefs and organize accordingly. Else
the different camps are just creating “noise” for each other. So let’s
have focused discussions on the forum!
Can we think about this some more. How would we work on designing a system, or even understanding a system, without connecting both meta and concrete actions? Can we design systemic changes and then what??? drop them from a plane?
Theory is great, that’s what we do. But without a prototype model that is structured to provide real life feedback from a complex adaptive moving as we speak system, what good is it? There has to be level 1 narrative which then translates into every more operational detail, using the Donella Meadows model.
