To me, you matter. How you breathe, move, hold tension, and speak (did you speak from the belly, chest or throat just before?) influences my perception of the environment and thus my own state. Of course, it’s happening in fractions of a second and subconsciously, most of the time. Because both of us have these...

“Almost all innovation in a system happens at fringes. So maximize fringes.” In Out of Control: The Rise of Neo-Biological Civilisation, Kevin Kelley makes an observation about biological processes: “The nature of an innovation is that it will arise at a fringe where it can afford to become prevalent enough to establish its usefulness without...

There’s a reason when you get your learner license with a motorcycle they limit the power output per/kg of the bike that you can have. It’s not helpful to go all in at once. It’s too much for a newbie to be on an 1000cc superbike. It’s the same with our training, our work, our...
