2. 11 min – politics is not about getting people
together to identify/debate problems.. it’s
about getting people to make decisions.. most
of software so far .. doesn’t capture very well
what decisions are made.. and how carried
forward into future.. - Smári

3. In psychology, decision-making is regarded as the cognitive
process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of
action among several alternative possibilities. Every decision-
making process produces a final choice that may or may not
prompt action. Decision-making is the process of identifying
and choosing alternatives based on the values and
preferences of the decision-maker.

5. Decision-making can be regarded as a problem-solving
activity terminated by a solution deemed to be
satisfactory. It is therefore a process which can be more or
less rational or irrational and can be based on explicit
knowledge or tacit knowledge.

6. Human performance with regard to decisions has been the subject of active research
from several perspectives:
Psychological: examining individual decisions in the context of a set of needs,
preferences and values the individual has or seeks.
Cognitive: the decision-making process regarded as a continuous process
integrated in the interaction with the environment.
Normative: the analysis of individual decisions concerned with the logic of
decision-making, or communicative rationality, and the invariant choice it leads
to.

7. A major part of decision-making involves the
analysis of a finite set of alternatives described
in terms of evaluative criteria.

9. from waggle dance to intelligent swarming unu pucks..
and w/a finite group of people..
this is the difference today… no?
perhaps why we have not yet… gotten to a place of
tweaking/changing agency (Smári) – we’re stuck clinging to consensus
and finite ness

10. we can’t seem to
enough.. to let people.. all of us.. decide..
and decide on what we’re going to decide on…
and decide if we’re going to change our mind tomorrow..
perhaps our democratic ness is our worst perpetuation (of not-us ness)
because it claims/appears to be letting go.
letting us decide.
yet.. deciding what we should be deciding about.. and who we should be
deciding/acting with..

11. we need a mechanism that helps us all…
enough.. to let people.. all of us.. decide..
and decide on what we’re going to decide on…
and decide if we’re going to change our mind tomorrow..
to ongoingly have choice.
24/7.. ongoing conversation..

12. 1:02 – somebody invented ballot box et al – we
forgot that someone had to sharpen the first
stick.. we don’t realize that’s not built into
human nature.. - Quinn

13. 2 formal ways to make decisions
1 democratic – vote on things
2 monetary – symbol value
money and votes …two sides of same coin…

14. how does democracy decide to not do
something,… ie: anonymous deciding not to kill
someone.. if any one person can pull trigger..
how do they all collectively decide not to do
this… you need a function/institution that
says.. hey guys.. remember we weren’t going
to do this.. institution is just something that
reminds people… what if we get rid of all
process and focus on long term memory..
- Eleanor
redefineschool.com/smari-mccarthy/
indeed.. how about.. self-talk as data (as our trail/backpack of long term memory) – where
each alive person reminds themself daily.. and.. no one bent toward ie: killing..
because everyone has something else to do

15. 15 min – we have agency… we get to actually
go out there and do things/change things.. we
don’t have to wait for permission from existing
structures in order to act..
21 min – on watching the wire – because it’s
basically about agency.. what you can do… on
a daily basis.. how to figure out what you can
do and do it.. you all do this.. but somehow
we haven’t captured any method
for tweaking/expanding agency
yet..

16. If you’re seeking whole hearted participation it must be voluntary.
– Jane McGonigal, reality is broken

it’s you asking/listening every day..
to what it is.

17. perhaps we need to let go of the whole idea of deciding..
(at least in regard to killing all other opportunities)
redefineschool.com/decide/
imagine being brave enough, awake enough, open/free enough..
to let our choices/decisions be antifragile

18. two ways decision making is perhaps different today
1 unlimited choices
2 commitment/finality/definition/consensus… as irrelevant
coming to and sticking to a decision – may seem better.. (ie: unu puck & magnet
ness)… but it’s not real enough.. it’s not eudaimoniative enough.. and so…
not sustainable enough (saw 1st hand w/ clickers)

19. these two things (unlimited choices and irrelevance of consensus) …
change e v e r ything
less about final/formal/consentual decision making and more about
thinking…being curious.. as the day.
perhaps we design a mechanism that listens w/o agenda to our curiosities..
and then coordinates/facilitates us toward each other.
(rather than validating/coercing/managing/magneting/motivating/consensatising us)
letting go of our obsession with control.. trusting that if everyone is doing
something else.. it’s/we’re enough

20. less about controlling ..
more about letting go..
