I've been thinking about pluriversal #design a lot recently for a project and how a major factor in it is a social one.

The question of 'how' is often the missing piece in #pluriversalDesign.

How can communities exist autonomously AND interdependently?

This part relies on open communication.

#bellHooks concept of mutuality might be an idea that could help here.

Writing a paper a bit on this now... more to come!

#Pluriverse #TransitionDesign

Right now on https://miaaw.net you can hear Zeynep Falay von Flittner, a design leader, entrepreneur, design consultant, & public speaker, talking about the ways transition design can attack the "wicked problems" generated by growth oriented capitalism.

"Fractal approaches to scaling transformations to sustainability"

Abstract
"Responses to sustainability challenges are not delivering results at the scale and speed called for by science, international agreements, and concerned citizens. Yet there is a tendency to underestimate the large-scale impacts of small-scale, local, and contextualized actions, and particularly the role of individuals in scaling transformations. Here, we explore a fractal approach to scaling sustainability transformations based on “universal values.” Universal values are proposed as intrinsic characteristics that connect humans and nature in a coherent, acausal way. Drawing on the Three Spheres of Transformation framework, we consider how enacting universal values can generate fractal-like patterns of sustainability that repeat recursively across scales. Fractal approaches shift the focus from scaling through “things” (e.g., technologies, behaviors, projects) to scaling through a quality of agency based on values that apply to all. We discuss practical steps involved in fractal approaches to scaling transformations to sustainability, provide examples, and conclude with questions for future research."

And then here is me looking ahead at what I'll be doing in 2023 and the practices involved. It's all about transitions.

Composting work.
Moving resources.
Staying with the trouble.
Tending to new soil.

What I mean by those things and who I'm doing them with, is here > https://cassierobinson.medium.com/becoming-2023-some-of-the-things-ill-be-doing-this-year-940ce5bf72be

Quick #introduction — Hi! 👋 I'm Ben Mosior (rhymes w/ "closure").

I teach #WardleyMaps and enjoy thinking about #TransitionDesign and things like the Ideal Present w/ @cyetain. Co-authoring a Pip Deck on #Strategy with @postobject.

Just migrated from mastodon.online, which felt too big. Here feels better, like something I could be a part of.

Please say hi if you want! I'd like to meet you!
