#socialTech post: thinking in systems

americans want to follow rules (or just follow influencers who figure out the rules for us) in part because we are socialized to be quiet and consume, to take things at face value. the harder things get, the more we want the certainty of order imposed by others

but when we practice thinking about systems -- how the things in our life are interconnected and what the nature of those relationships are -- we're so much better equipped to navigate complexity
