Episode notes

Group communication involves a complexity that goes beyond what can be captured in writing, as it includes diverse perspectives, memories, and interpretations of the interactions. This multidimensionality adds nuance and texture to the exchange, which cannot be fully documented. The shared understanding in a room is not just about the content of the conversation, but also about the interpersonal dynamics and individual perceptions, making it difficult to accurately capture in written form.

In this episode, Vince Fakhoury Horn is joined in conversation with Richard D. Bartlett. Rich is the author of Patterns for Decentralised Organising and a contributing author for Better Work Together. He is a co-founder of Loomio and The Hum. He is a Director and longstanding member of Enspiral. In finding where convergence resides among them, Vince and Rich explore many interesting topics including Decentralised Organising, Microsolidarity, Fractal Narcissism, and the Occupy Movement.

Memorable Quotes

“In a time of massive disruption, where the stakes are really high and everyone has skin in the game, who is saying stuff that feels sensible? That feels like it’s giving me guidance?” - Richard D. Bartlett

“The world is great when there is a huge variety of different ways of being and they form some complex, uncontrollable network. That we’re all enmeshed together and we’re all playing different parts…” - Richard D. Bartlett
