“It is easy to inadvertently pursue *translational* change as if it were *transformational*… to fall prey to the overwhelming power of pre-existing, dominant contexts, ideologies, and energy patterns”

“No longer is history something that we just read about decades hence, we can actively picture our role in the evolutionary stream of events and take responsibility for our small part in it right now. To do so, we need to better understand the Transformational Thesis” —@robbsmith

“In most real-world, large-scale wicked environments, there are no silver bullets, no one single TT that overpowers the mass of competing forces, incentives, consciousness, etc. that is creating the wicked context to begin with.”

“Silver bullets mostly only exist wherever simple, dominant (i.e., superholonic) *power relations* exist: by definition, the power function of a superholon is measured by the quality of being able to change the sub-holons included within its developmental or ecological holarchy.”

“But superholons are already relatively good at identifying and attempting to change what is in their control, and so any problem today that needs a TT is still a problem precisely because it’s an enduring context beyond the simple dominance of an existing superholon.”

“The wicked environment of climate change is embedded in the human-civilizational superholon, and yet that superholon has no simple, overriding power function that can force compliance by millions of psychological, political, economic, cultural, ethnic, national etc. sub-holons”

@FernwehCo_Mike @DailyEvolver @RobbSmith We agree. Originally we had considerations of confidentiality for live ILP sessions that precluded recording, but we’ve been adding new kinds of events we can record. And we scheduled a bunch of events for Oz but participation was low. It’s a tradeoff we’re trying to manage…
