CH. 3 & 4
Chapters 3 & 4:
Prior to this book, I had never heard of the adaptive cycle (68). I think it is in our nature as humans, especially during the current season with COVID, to cling to comfort and routine despite it being the thing that is often holding us back from innovation.
The following line from page 99 really stuck out to me: “If the system is to be transformed as opposed to overturned, collaboration between the radicals and the establishment must be created.” I think when we recognize systems of injustice our immediate thought is to adopt a battle mentality where there is a clear line drawn in the sand and each side sees the other only as an enemy. While I believe that confrontation is a key step in making progress, I think we fail to recognize the importance of following up this confrontation with collaboration in order to ever maintain a level of peace among one another.
My question: How do I define my role in the power dynamics of BSC?
