There is a deep mishap lodged in the illusion of possible control of living complex systems without nth order destruction. I suggest most of the current ideas around ‘change making’ –are infected w this epistemology of control. Inherently, control is a violation of ecology.

@MyrkeNieweg yes… norabateson.medium.com/ready-ing-f1d7…

Huge damage has been done. Learning from the mistakes of the past is a way to show the dignity of being human. Justifying, negating, denying those mistakes is an ugly way of obscuring the necessary learning. If people are afraid to admit being wrong/bad; dignity is double binded.

@jriles8 The epistemology is flawed in both cases, and probably it’s the same flaw. A hunger for measured control is not going to give rise to a substantial understanding of ecology — it is inherently a perception problem.

@nemonemini HI– I would like to contact you. I am doing a project on my grandfather, William Bateson and his split with biometrics and eugenics in the early 1900s. I notice you have done a good deal of study on this particular subject. Please PM me.

@bonnittaroy @AE_Robbert yes. let’s do this.

keeping on learning keeping on reaching keeping on the ground keeping on tuning in keeping on honing into the possibilities keeping on sensitizing keeping the noise at bay

@michaelgarfield @stephlepp @getoverhear @anvilcell Thanks Michael.

This is a wonderful illustration of my “It’s Fantastic” piece. Thank you to Rachel Hentsch Spadafora, Leslie Thulin Eubanks and Vivien Leung for putting this together. “Just to witness such a theater of tangled stories is indeed a show to beat all shows. vimeo.com/797266077
