Discussing a new Human Development Thesis for the 21st Century

About the Episode Our focus here at Daily of the Month is to put
our attention on the outcomes of mindful collaborations. If we look
around the world, it is fairly apparent that our social and
ecological environments are showing us that we are living out of
balance. Now more than ever, there is a need for an intimate
understanding of the patterns for generative collaborations and
organizing as collectives at scale, if we want to transcend our
current predicaments and find balance again. This episode focuses
on exploring how we can navigate this time between worlds as
individuals and in organization with others. The ‘rudiments’ of
collaboration are guiding us in our search for alternative ways to
engage with each other. At this point, it feels like the human and
its imagination for what what life could be, seem to be the
limiting factors. This is why placing human development at the
center of our design process for the future, seems like an
appropriate move. We are curious to explore what a new Human
Development for the 21st century could look like. In the journey to
develop this thesis it is important to to be conscious of the
‘pebbles’ and patterns that let us know that we are on the right
path. Our Guests Bonnitta Roy and Simone Cicero bring life and
interesting perspectives to this conversation. They also shared
with us, which patterns they have seen help individuals and groups
orientate themselves in order to have agency in creating preferred
outcomes. Terms Salience Landscape: This expression comes out of
the cognitve sciences and refers to an internal map that
individuals create of all things that are relevant to them in their
environment Post Formal Actor This expression was coined by
Bonnitta and, "refers people who “operate on” the roles, rules,
norms and procedures, by challenging and experimenting with them,
(perhaps even ignoring and obliterating them), and by creating new
roles, rules, norms and procedures. Post-formal actors can also
“operate on” the larger context by reframing the context,
redirecting action, and regenerating new contexts. Action Protocols
Are based on first first principle heuristics and help actors to
engage in mindful action and orient them towards perferred futures.
There usage is particularly imporant in times when our maps of
meaning start to break down. Conviviality In his book Tools for
Conviviality Ivan Illivich describes how technology should not rob
us of our humanity, making us mere cogs in the machine.It should
however provide us with tools that ensure our right to work
autonomously and in connection with our environment and neighbors.
This is the meaning of Conviviality and Illivich believed this
ideal to be one of the highest ethical values of a modern society.
