True Co-Operation
How to spark a co-operation between people and projects?
–
I have many friends who work towards a vision of making the world a better place for all. I view all of their projects as working towards a shared vision. Even if some visions are more specific, some are more abstract (specific words to describe a vision change based on progress and often seeing a commonality depends on one's imagination and a set of values, i.e. willigness to collaborate).
I often observe that my friends projects are great at some parts - some are great at technology, some at communication and design, some at networking, fundraising or business models. But only together these projects would create something valuable for all.
What is true cooperation?
Doing together. Not always everyone does an equal part (of the amount of time or quality), because some people are better at doing the ground work, while others - at bringing in resources etc. The level of experience differs. Timing plays a role too, some work needs to happen before others jumps in. I think that's how it is. Intention to "just add some ingredient to the soup" is the most important.
Self-motivated parts. Holocracy is an interesting management model, where all parts are self-motivated to create a whole that's more than parts. Figuring one's personal motivation and a project's vision brings in clarity, before co-operation with others starts.
Clear communication, even with different tools. I notice how some of my friends love text, others - drawings, code or audios. That means, some can explain very clearly typing the words, while others just sketch the concept or send an audio recording (unable to type the text or to sketch). Noticing the differences between people, so that we connect to do together is important. Sometimes that means translating someone's text into a visual or typing the audio into text, so that everyone is more on the same page.
Possible steps for True Cooperation?
-
Being visible - showcasing each others projects to one another
-
Being transparent - sharing about Challenges and Needs they have, so that others can help out
-
Being flexible - welcoming the help and adjusting one's actions to move together
Curious, what do you think about Co-Operation, how does it happen and why it doesn't happen?
Restoration of right relationship between one another and the living earth; ultimately the abolition of the concept of property and extractive capitalism.
通常，將團隊聚集在一起的是可執行的、可信的願景。
如果某個世界願景足夠可信、有價值和可執行（=真正意義上的可操作，不是探索意義上的，而是實施意義上的）。
該願景通常由某人提供，通常是那些已經想出“方法”並分享詳細描述“方法”的“想法”的人，從而使願景具有可信度。例如，將火箭降落在其支架上的想法只是一個想法，但是有了自動控制原理，對於可以在這種信念的基礎上進行真正合作的人們來說，這是一個可信的想法。
同樣，一份關於如何創建去中心化計算機或太陽帆和高功率激光器的白皮書可能會讓人們相信某些事情（例如去中心化治理或到達其他恆星）是可能的，並且值得爲之努力。這如何進一步發展，通常取決於具體的溝通行爲：友誼、領導、合作等。
提出一個可執行的願景和寫一個好主意一樣難，然而，它是我們每個人腦海中出現的假設，如果我們做一些事情，更大的事情 將由此產生。 :)
不能低估“如何”的詳細描述：一個人可以抽象地解釋一個想法，認爲一個人已經描述了它的所有內容，但其他人不會理解它，除非你在一個過程的步驟中描述它以及會發生什麼結果——然後，他們的眼睛亮了起來，他們想“哦，是的，這是個好主意，讓我們去做吧！”，然後可能的合作開始了。
Usually, it is the executable, believable vision, that brings teams together.
If a certain world vision is sufficiently believable and valuable, and executable (=actionable in the true sense, not in the sense of exploration, but in the sense of implementation).
That vision, is usually provided by someone, usually, the people who have figured out the 'how', and shared an 'idea' that describes the 'how' in detail, and thus gives the believability to the vision. For example, the idea of landing a rocket back on its stand, is just an idea, but with the automated control principles, it is a believable idea to the people who can then have true cooperation on the basis of that belief.
Similarly, a whitepaper about how to create a decentralized computer, or a solar sail and high powered lasers, may make people believe that certain things (like decentralized governance, or reaching other stars) is possible, and worth working for. How this evolves further, often depends on the specific acts of communication: friendships, leaderships, co-working, etc.
Coming up with an executable vision is as hard as writing a good idea, however, it is something that comes up in each of our minds as hyptheses, that if we do something a little, something bigger is gonna result from that. :)
Describing the 'how' in detail can't be understated: one can explain an idea abstractly, thinking that one has described all there is to it, but others won't understand it until you describe it in steps of a process and what happens as a result -- then, their eyes light up, and they think "oh yeah, that's a great idea, let's do it!", and then a possible cooperation begins.

人們如何學會想象和設想，完善願景？我想說不是每個人都有這樣的技能。甚至一個簡單的問題“你想要什麼？”取決於情況和時間點。
對我來說，構想是一個過程而不是一件事。然後，當人們一起踏上發現願景的旅程時，共同構想是可能的。在這裏，合作不需要等待每個人的個人願景完美，而是一個可以共同研究的空間。
How can people learn to imagine and envision, refine the Visions? I'd say not everyone has such a skill. Even a simple question of "What do you want?" depends on a situation and point in time.
To me, envisioning is a process rather than a thing. Then, envisioning together is possible, when people go on the journey of discovering that Vision together. Here, co-operation does not need to wait for a perfection of everyone's individual vision, but rather a space where researching together is possible.
也許我們需要將想法分解成更多的子問題。
然後每個人都可以有一個工作代表的收件箱。
我們需要物理空間來進行託管。我們的工作介紹。值交叉引用。
如果我可以進行測驗並填寫我感興趣的單詞，那麼也許我可以與正在研究相同想法的人一起加入。
也許我們需要與類別 Mindey 進行額外的交互。比如“我支持這個”和“我有興趣做這個”
Perhaps we need to break ideas up into more subproblems.
Then each person can have an inbox of work representation.
We need physical spaces for colocation. Presentations of our work. Value cross referencing.
If I could do a quiz and fill out words I am interested in then maybe I can be joined with people who are looking into the same ideas.
Perhaps we need additional interactions possible with categories Mindey. Like "I support this" and "I am interested in working on this"
Gyuri Lajos 一直致力於的 Indihub 生態系統從本質上促進了可發現性。每個人公開分享的想法中內置的知識共享促進了將想法擴展到網絡，而無需人們加入和註冊。入職人員自然是一個緩慢而耗時的過程。例如，這個帖子和這個羣組中的所有帖子只有少數加入的人才能訪問。如果該軟件被移植到 fission.code 並公開，那麼任何擁有 Fission 帳戶的人都可以搜索、查找和回覆此對話線程。
The Indihub ecosystem that Gyuri Lajos has been working on intrinsically promotes discoverability. That knowledge sharing built into everyone’s publicly shared ideas promotes scaling an idea to the network without people having to join and signup. Onboarding people is naturally a slow and time consuming process. For instance, this post and all the posts in this group are only accessible to the small number of people who have joined. If this software was ported to fission.code and made public, then anyone with Fission account can search, find and respond to this conversation thread.
我通過瀏覽 Redecentralize 注意到所有可用的項目都不兼容。抽象都是不同的。
在沒有臨界質量的情況下開始和完成一個項目是非常困難的。結果往往是無用的。很多工作需要完成，如果工作不適用或沒有完成，甚至很難在其他人的工作上再接再厲。
我們需要一些人開拓前進的道路並創造事物，但同時我們需要就對話和分享想法進行對話。也許那時我們可以構建正確的抽象或工具供彼此使用。
I've noticed from browsing Redecentralize that all the projects available are incompatible. The abstractions are all different.
It's very difficult to start and complete a project without critical mass. The result is often independent to the point of uselessness. A lot of work needs to be done and it's difficult to even build on other people's work if the work is not applicable or not finished enough.
We need some people to forge a path ahead and make things but at the same time we need to have conversations on conversations and sharing of ideas. Maybe then we can build the right abstractions or tools for eachother to use.
