Just caught your message @Dan.

Here are powerful women doing amazing things, all of which have potential for scaled up impact. And it got me thinking, rather than trying to build another new thing why not just focus on helping the women who have already got started.

THIS. I feel like there's an abudance of mana in networks around us that doesn't look anything like patriarchal fucking shortsighted capitalism. I want to cheer on these others.

I don't feel any need for a catalytic event, I think that's just a predeliction for narrative arcs. I'd say looking for a catalytic event is like "focusing on the level of emergence"... as in mushrooms only pop up because there's a massive body that's been growing for ages, you just might not have seen it.

I get you on the virus metaphor. I think it's a complex of genes that are going to do the work - as "doing checkins" is one powerful gene, but it only really shines when it's paired with other aligned genes like "valuing the full complexity of people" and "vulnerability enabled learning" or "long-term profit". I don't think there's a perfect synthesis, because the there is no such thing as uniform culture. But we can gather these powerful mini tools and culture, and share them. It's slow, but people experiencing care, and safety, and cheerleading, and constructive disagreement ... I think these change people quite deeply.

woo, I feel kinda passionate about some of this. Exciting to think big some, I don't often let myself dream or feel ahead that far. I'm often all caught up in the simple but very involved detail of listening, supporting, cheerleading, sensing, provoking, invoking....
