Dialogue process using IBIS, Shared Display, and Active Listening. Dialogue Mapping™ is a radically inclusive facilitation process that creates a diagram or 'map' (cf mind-map) that captures and connects participants' comments as a meeting conversation unfolds. It is especially effective with highly complex or “Wicked” problems that are wrought with both social and technical complexity, as well as a sometimes maddening inability to move forward in a meaningful and cost effective way. Dialogue Mapping™ creates forward progress in situations that have been stuck; it clears the way for robust decisions that last. It is effective because it works with the non-linear way humans really think, communicate, and make decisions. (more)

Michael Green: Part 2: The Door Has Opened. The wealth you’re counting on—the retirement accounts, the home equity, the “nest egg” that’s supposed to make this all worthwhile—is just as fake as the poverty line. But the humans behind that wealth are real. And they are amazing. — Part 1. (Re [[(2025-11-23) Green Poverty Line Is A Lie]]) (more)

Cedric Chin: The Shape of The Game We Play. A few weeks ago someone pinged me on Twitter with a very interesting comment. He said that whilst he enjoyed learning about business from biographies as much as the next person, “reading books about weightlifting doesn’t shortcut actually hitting the gym, doing the reps, feeling the movement and developing the instincts.” (more)

David Chapman: Upgrade your cargo cult for the win. What does it take for an individual to do innovative intellectual work, such as scientific discovery? Mere mastery of methods is not good enough. What does it take for a community or institution to address a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world effectively? Mission statements, structures, principles, and procedures are not good enough. (more)

The replication crisis, also known as the reproducibility or replicability crisis, refers to widespread failures to reproduce published scientific results. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is the cornerstone of the scientific method,[2] such failures undermine the credibility of theories and challenge substantial parts of scientific knowledge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis (more)

John Cutler: TBM 389: Overthinker! From a young age, being accused of “overcomplicating” or “overthinking” things felt like a dismissal of who I was. Later, in professional settings, I struggled to stay calm when I witnessed reductionist ideas being used (often by those in power) in ways that harmed others. That pattern became my kryptonite.

The Mass Psychology of Fascism (German: Die Massenpsychologie des Faschismus) is a 1933 psychology book written by the Austrian psychoanalyst and psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich, in which the author attempts to explain how fascists and authoritarians come into power through their political and ideologically-oriented sexual repression on the popular masses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mass_Psychology_of_Fascism (more)

Nathan Schneider: Startups Need a New Option: Exit to Community. Founders create startups for all sorts of reasons. Often, the motivation is a mix between the founders’ desires to do well for themselves and to do something worthwhile for others. Dreams of greatness might figure in there too. Rarely, however, is the overriding reason to build a company people want to get rid of. But that is what the startup pipeline is designed to produce. (built to flip) (more)

Paul Feyerabend having studied science at the University of Vienna, moved into philosophy for his doctoral thesis, made a name for himself both as an expositor and (later) as a critic of Karl Popper's "critical rationalism", and went on to become one of this century's most famous philosophers of science. An imaginative maverick, he became a critic of philosophy of science itself, particularly of "rationalist" attempts to lay down or discover rules of Scientific Method. (more)
