Daniel Schmachtenberger, Jordan Hall, and Jamie Wheal define the traits of Game A and the preconditions for Game B.

"Game B is notoriously difficult to think and talk about for the very good reason that if you were using the conceptual structures that came out of Game A to do so, you may very well be poisoning the well." - Jordan Hall

TLDW of #FoldingIdeas' #Gamestock / #MemeStocks video https://youtu.be/5pYeoZaoWrA?t=8826 😔 "No one deserves" to:

1> be exploited like this
2> get shaken down [so] they have no other choice but to become #grifters themselves […]
3> have their ego and security ground down to the point that there’s no escape, no reason to step back and admit defeat, no reason to reflect

Empathy, sufficiency & community (#GameB #SolarPunk #TeamHuman) are antidotes to greed & despair of #VampireCapitalism! 🌞 vs. 🧛

@timnitGebru

Techno-trandscendentalism #TESCREAL is spreading like wildfire in influential tech-affine circuits, and also in the so-called #MeaningMaking and #GameB communities.

It is an ideology that is dangerous and deluded.

I have been working with Daniel Pinchbeck and his writing group on this project: Making Sense of Dark Forces. You are invited to read if you are interested in #Moloch #Ahriman #occult #NonDuality #psychedelics #GameB #ketamine #CounterCulture https://ghost.guyjames.com/

With so many of us working from home (or at least not in an office), why haven't we found a better way to describe our kind of work than "Office work"?

Screen worker feels off. Suggestions?

#RemoteWork #GameB

If you'd have told me I'd be explaining #distributed #systems this frequently -- and to people who'd never heard the term weeks ago, let alone seek out a primer -- I'd never have believed you. Yet here we are. Thanks, #Mastodon Perhaps I should bring the basics here so more people can explain & we each up our game.

... that the kind of lived process-oriented perspectivism that seems to motivate much of #GameB isn't valid or important in many ways. I was missing a bit of open-mindedness from @GurusPod there, tbh. Not all is well with our modern world view (and academia). /7

The guys from @GurusPod point out repeatedly that the lack of rigor & the radical "yes and" approach here lead to the tolerance of very unsavory ideas in the sphere of #GameB. A kind of flabby pluralism that considers all points of view of value to some degree. /5

I have seen a number of videos with Schmachtenberger, where is providing very clear analyses of the current meta-crisis. I really like these. He does not say much in this conversation, but even at his best, he is also a little vague on solutions, i.e. what #GameB actually is. /3

This @GurusPod-cast wraps up a lot of the unease I have with California-style #GameB (& why I left that online community recently). But it also misses a few fundamental points that #GameB is trying to push that I think are very important these days: https://decoding-the-gurus.captivate.fm/episode/daniel-schmachtenberger-jamie-wheal-jordan-hall-making-sense-about-making-sense-of-sensemaking. 🧵

Why do representatives of #GameB keep on endorsing crazies & peddlers of conspiratorial bullshit? That's a real shame. I thought the movement was all about a healthy information system. There is no space for someone like Bret Weinstein in a healthy information system.

back on that #agalmia thing.

At this point, the original paper by Robert Levin has found its way onto different lesser-known wikis, pertaining to subjects like open-source and #gameB, but the idea hasn’t evolved much. I’m talking to myself about it because, as a meme, it’s completely stale and stagnant.

And yet, it has merit. No one gives me answers to the questions it has led me to ask; most don’t even know where to begin with the questions. That’s not their fault; it’s no one’s fault really. No one talks about what Economics misses, or what it perhaps took responsibility for that didn’t belong within its purview of selfish incentive. Economics is terrible at defining the human actions of families, for example; and while nothing in a family at any given time is transfinite, the family itself IS transfinite and positive sum so long as the family cooperates and reaches replacement-levels of reproduction. Economics has to model this in the way it models corporations or governments; I suspect, though, if we took the time to analyze the understood economic costs of a family and abstract that cost over time, we could then free up the mental bandwidth necessary to start looking into the positive-sum magic that comes from a family reaching those cost goals and doing more than just sustaining.

Generations of families are iterations of success models; that success is not only passed on but taught to the following generation, which will inevitably rebel and apply the same wisdom in very different ways.

These are agalmic actors, and they are investing their scarce but managed resources (economics) to maintain the transfinite, self-serving yet positive-sum abstraction (the agalmia), and create something bigger than oneself; not much different than the programmers that contribute of their time and experience to improve a piece of software, because the code is available to both improve upon, and learn from. The stakes, in the case of the family, are just much higher.

Economics can explain the resources required, but it can’t explain the human actions which required those resources. This is a problem that, to me, seems to have many fascinating implications were it to be addressed effectively.
