I am soooo glad to be an indie hacker rather than stuck inside corporate incentives. (Both in general and in the sense of beint featured here: indiehackers.com/businesses/com…)

These paragraphs are @RealJaronLanier pointing at what @Meaningness calls systematic mode and fluid mode.

A great thread. One additional thing I say with respect to @CompliceGoals (which has no free plan) is that I don't want to be building an app for people who don't think it's worth paying for. They're not my market--they can't be!
@fortelabs @culturedcode Oh epic. One of my @CompliceGoals users asked if I would make these things:/// URLs linkify, and I did, because it only took a minute. Would have done it immediately after reading this article if I hadn't already. I wonder if there are other cxn opportunities here...
Because nobody is incentivized to make it so. cf equilibriabook.com
@Meaningness @RealJaronLanier Dawn of the New Everything, a combo of an autobiography and history of VR and other technology. It's from one of the appendices, in which he's making a very abstract case something to do with AI-fear (not sure exactly what) & arguing against basic income. amazon.ca/Dawn-New-Every…

Ack. Just realized I deleted an "s" from @UserCompass so y'all didn't get properly mentioned! Gonna tag @wecontrast & @mikeaag & @fredrivett while I'm at it :)
@csallen @manavo @levelsio @jessethanley @IndieHackers Hook me up too! Complice is finally growing again after a year of being kinda stagnant 📈 (IH username: MalcolmOcean)
The article & reply-thread is full of hilarity.

It still amazes me that academic fields, connected by co-citation, are arranged in a ring. Is there a missing "dark field"…

@dehowell @fortelabs You might also be interested in the definition of "goal" that we use in the Goal-Crafting Intensive workshops we run: "A recognizable desired state in the future, that causes someone to act differently in the present so as to realize it."

@dehowell @fortelabs Some possible names for what happens if you pull out some components: No recognizable state = "trajectory" Not in the future = "regret/problem" No action = "dream" Actions are just for show = "signalling" (I believe @fortelabs has a similar model somewhere related to projects)
@dehowell @fortelabs Although there are several kinds of inaction... some are well-captured by "dream", but others are more like "I really truly want this thing and also I am in conflict about it and the conflict prevents me from taking any action towards it."
@dehowell @fortelabs I guess our definition of goal is designed to indicate that you've removed at least enough inner conflict that you're moving at least somewhat! Or you're taking action towards untangling that internal conflict—which is a form of goal-oriented action!

@fortelabs The 4 Disciplines of Execution by FranklinCovey is really excellent and has great stuff on how to integrate ambitious important goals and the whirlwind of everyday life. There used to be a fantastic summary pdf but it seems to be gone now 😐
@jesswatmiller one obvious thing: Donella Meadows has other stuff, eg Dancing with Systems donellameadows.org/archives/danci…
@vgr First tried reading Alfred Korzybski's Science & Sanity a few years ago. Couldn't quite parse it. I picked it up again recently and finding it quite captivating. It seems general semantics is weirdly contextual though—why isn't there a better, more recent introduction?
