Once you accept, our awful reality, that you did not fall out of a coconut tree, that you can adopt a #SystemsThinking approach, and internalize that racism is baked into everything, in the air, water, and earth we walk, that #CultureWars are a distraction from the #ClassWar which the oligarchy and plutocrats refer to when the “untermensch” fight back, it’s easier to practice #sensemaking.

Imagine.

It’s easy if you try.

we know systems consist of 4 components: stocks, flows, feedbacks & delays

how do these work together to produce systems behavior re-occurring in nature?

In “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain,” George Saunders defines a “story” as “a system for the transfer of energy.”

"For the overthinker (it’s me, I’m the problem), grappling with past failures and the inherent uncertainty of the future, systems and complexity thinking become a seductive form of intellectual immortality.“

Do you know what cells of a rose, ants, and humans have in common? They all need energy and work together to thrive. TPOCo explores this universal principle of collaboration, showing how life—from the smallest cells to large societies—depends on cooperation for survival and growth. Join us as we dive into how energy drives these vital connections. Learn more at https://co-operatio.org. #Cooperation #Collaboration #EnergyFlow #SystemsThinking #citizenscience

I like 🏔️🥃⚽

To paraphrase @snowded on #ontology, #epistemology, and #phenomenology: what do we think is happening, what do we know we can do about it, and how can we tell.

My name is Sam, my bros call me Panini. My family calls me Sampath, since they can pronounce it correctly.

My cultural origin story is…a lot. I’ve been around. Despite thoughts and feelings of some, I consider myself from #EastTennessee.

I think last night it clicked what my main issue is with massively "bottom up" cultures in organisations.

I am sure it works fine for creative / building orgs where you want people to unleash their maximum creative / engineering / building genius and both find the right problems to solve, and then solve them in amazing ways.

For #Risk / #infosec etc, its not that simple. Sometimes (actually, many times) you need to be more prescriptive about which problems we solve.

If we only solved the cool problems, then we'd end up with a whole host of companies / organisations running around with cool bespoke AI powered tools, flashy automated pipelines that start no where and end no where...

No one would be wanting to solve the simple things like, Asset management, or vuln scanning, or writing standards and guidelines etc ...

Heyyy... wait a minute ...

Aaannyhow.. what I was saying is that if I am looking at something as a system, in which all the objects in that system work together to solve a common purpoes... then letting people just build and do what ever from the bottom up, doesnt deliver a system at all. It delivers a collection of random cool stuff, solving random cool problems.

And yes, often the system, is just a collection of systems, each with their own purpose, but they still need to align with solving for the mission etc.

So I think its much more effective if we can help define the purpose / mission, let groups be creative with what collection of objects (systems or not) combine to solve that, and then let others be yet again bottoms up and creative with defining the next level down, and the "how" for many of these areas / items.

It all still has to combine together to solve the purpose though. Not sure many companies devote budget to infosec with the purpose of "go do random cool stuff". It's generally aligned with solving digitial business risks (aka what I call cybersecurity).
