If we were atoms drifting among countless others in chaotic #commons of a petri dish.

How do we form tight molecules together, collaborate with other atoms around us? Equivalent to what #FOSS tries to do. We need good chemistry to make that happen. Take shape together, #organize, find #governance.

Laws of Nature. With many other molecules and atoms like us, how do we #unite? Form cohesive bonds. Become something much stronger still. How do we reach atoms remotely in vast petri dish space, eternities away?

Akin to how we try on #fedi too. Form substance. Take more meaningful shape. But how? We're organic matter, and our tech is rock hard.

How do we form a biological #ecosystems within this dish? #Sustainable, able to #survive? How do we become alive, gain collective #awareness, #agency, ability to act as #collectively?

Finally how are we able to thrive? Find #freedom? Organisms liberated from this dish?

Yes well said! In society we lack ways to deal with wicked problems. The kind where there is no one single solution. It is a given that special interest groups apply their lobbying and propaganda powers to influence public opinion. And that #activism for the good cause and against malign actors lacks ways to spark a large mass of people into coordinated #resistance and onto pathways towards #solutions. The call of the #activist is for #awareness and #participation, but that all too often requires 'sacrifice'. Often harsh moral judgment is given to those who contribute insufficiently in the eyes of the activist. As result the activist does not win people over, and activism may even backfire.

Social experience design, while focused on tech foundations first, is a generic solution development methodology aimed at ability to affect societal impact and solve wicked problems. It defines #CALMculture as a way to organize activism in a commons.
