“Decentralized” is a total misnomer.

Functional networks are never in a static state of being either centralized or decentralized–they are always moving! This means that networks are either centralizing, decentralizing, or distributing. #NetworkTheory I think the Web3 crypto network builders out there would probably benefit a lot from reading Networkologies–which presents a philosophy of networks.

After engaging with lots of different productivity hacks, systems, & approaches I finally gave up on the idea that someone else knows how to do this better than me. 🧵 When I totally let go of the guidance of external authority w/r/t productivity, I ended up experimenting, and those experiments have yielded some incredibly interesting results.

🧵 I try not to talk too much about crypto here, because it's a contentious topic inside the intersecting venn diagram of communities I take part in, but it's a pretty dang important topic. To my crypto-maxi mutuals: Look I get that this is literally as big a deal as web 1.0 & web 2.0 were, in terms of the future impact on technology, society, consciousness, etc...

The success of Meta-Organizations will be determined almost exclusively by their choice of governance practices. 1️⃣ Shared governance is what connects disparate organizations, that may have different purposes themselves, but want to connect in a meta-purpose together. 2️⃣

The #1 most common question I receive as a meditation teacher is: “How do I know I’m on the right track?” 1️⃣ When I first was starting out as a meditation teacher I answered this question by helping people recognize and move through the traditional state-stages of the early Buddhist meditative path (ex. The 16 stages of the progress of insight, the 4 paths, the 8 jhanas, etc.) 2️⃣

1: I am utterly convinced that one of the most challenging complex emotions that we have got to come to grips with as contemporary practitioners (inside & out) is cynicism. 2/ For those of us who are self-identified skeptics (🖐🏼) it’s the thinnest and finest line toward being cynical. I confused & conflated the two for years.
