Our big, important job, before we can change our systems, is to figure out how to dampen dynamics that hasten humiliation or deny dignity. In other words, how do we help people keep their cool?
This thymic ecology framework is sharp. The insight that recognition scarcity itself becomes the accelerant for conflict is something I havent seen framed quite like that before. I've noticed in my own comunity work that when we create parallel systems for status (like different achievement metrics), people chill out way faster than when everyone's fighting over the same one prize. Diversifying the "recognition market" might be the most underrated desclation tool we have.
You have a rare mind, NF. You strike me as one who sees steps ahead and can imagine how to build out of mere theoretical abstractions. I'd love to learn more about what you work on and what motivates you.
