If I could make one request, it might be to stop putting ONE thing at the center of things.
Even TWO is really not many when you think about it.
What would it would be like if there were FOUR or SEVEN even, what if you didn't know exactly how many things were at the center, at the root of things, at the root of whatever/whoever it is that you are trying to understand or engage? Embrace uncertainty and multiplicity in how you think, if you want to understand the world as it is. #uncertainty
@slowenough yup. One person’s root cause is another person’s symptom.
@chriscorrigan I've started a list of things I would like to write to help me prioritize, and one would be to write up my NVC needs behind the needs exercise, wherein people get to experience that it never ends, one can keep inquiring and there is always another need/value behind the last one, and yeah they can loop or whatever.
@slowenough amen, brother. thanks for this. I have been trying to avoid saying "the idea is" and using "an, or one, or another idea is". I want to practice more open-ended thinking even when abstracting and reducing a big mess to something I can make sense of.
