“The focus can’t just be on identifying potential school shooters, the focus needs to be about the underlying mental health and characteristics of all the hundreds of kids who make threats, who will never become school shooters, and what are their needs.”

“This is, perhaps, the new vanguard: the academic institution as wellness community. It has a slight dystopian ring to it.”

“I think that’s what community is — coming together and saying: ‘I’m vulnerable, just like you are. I’m trying. I’m not going to leave you alone.’”

Rather than babble about Mastodon vs Twitter UX/algorithms/engagement, I hope we can take a step back and think about what an actual framework for collective behavior looks like. I think Mastodon in its current state is the closest we have so far to approaching the benefits of modularity in social decision-making. Twitter is just influencer-take-all collective madness. There's a sweet spot for decentralization in a system.

"A Function-Based Typology for Earth’s Ecosystems." A novel framework for our economy and for environmental education? I'm going to have to spend a lot of more time digesting this one, but wanted to start the thread / conversation. #complexity #ecology #circulareconomy #complexsystems https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05318-4

#introduction Hi! I'm aiming to be a part of a transdisciplinary learning community on Mastodon. I'm focused on complex adaptive systems & graph / matching algorithms to address broken markets, no/low code prototyping, futurism, urban planning, sociology, digital twins, transmedia storytelling and edtech with occasional updates about building my little house on the Maine coast. #complexsystems #graphtheory #nocode #futurism #urbanism #digitaltwin #transmedia #edtech #maine #sociology #scifi

"Today's mess is better understood as a global polycrisis. The term implies that humanity is dealing with a complex knot of seemingly distinct but actually deeply entangled crises. Precisely because these crises are so entangled, they’re causing worldwide damage much greater than the sum of their individual harms." #systemicrisk #complexity https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/13/opinion/coronavirus-ukraine-climate-inflation.html
