What small groups have really made a difference to your life? — chosen-path.org
I don’t mean mentors, one-to-one relationships where someone really helps you develop and grow. And I don’t necessarily mean friendship groups — or family — the people we are thrust together with and comfortable (or even uncomfortable) with over a long period of time. I mean those groups we land up in which usually have … Continue reading What small groups have really made a difference to your life? →
What kind of transformation could you unlock by digging down to underlying purpose? — chosen-path.org
Join the discussion on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_transformation-by-digging-down-to-underlying-activity-6959760027125465088-0_Yw/ What’s the purpose of your organisation, or service? are you sure? I often help people to get to grips with transformation ideas, looking for real innovation. And I keep coming back to a case study of work done by my erstwhile colleague Garath Symonds FRSA.

The Visual Cliff: Eleanor Gibson & the Origins of Affordance | Systems Community of Inquiry — stream.syscoi.com
David Ing surface this, saying: The cybernetics tradition has been described as outmoded by the “perceptual ecology” of J.J. Gibson with affordances, says Erica Robles Anderson (NYU) and Scott Ferguson (U. South Florida). Cybernetics has long been narrated as the paradigm that shaped human-computer interactions. Perceptual ecology reveals another path, equally foundational but ontologically distinct.…

Lost in the Matrix — how police surveillance is mapping protest movements — Netpol — netpol.org

As Netpol asked in March 2021, how do campaigners become “aggravated activists” — the new label applied to those taking action that challenges state and corporate […]
