2021: Creating a Lexicon of Future
C is for Complexity
Humans are complex, with a myriad of thoughts, beliefs, experiences and talents. Our existing system has acculturated us to only bring forward those parts of ourselves for which we get paid, leaving behind the elements that make us feel fully valued.
The Path to Complexity
In March 2019, a friend asked me to prepare a visual summary of the process of developing community wealth.
The image below is a high level summary of the work, and, as you might suspect, these top level actions have very deep roots.
Complexity vs Complications
So, here’s my theory:
As complex beings, we have energy that must be expressed externally and will find a way to do so, seeking whatever ‘container’ is available.
If that container is designed to receive and work in partnership with that complex energy, you get…
…songs that evoke a feeling reminding us of who else we are.
…art with that special blue reminding you of that day when you were 7 and the world felt safe.
…books about a magical wardrobe that opened into a land called Narnia…or train platform #9–3/4 for another generation.
