@angela_walch Fascinating. Some reflections...

@angela_walch 1/ Subjectivity isn't something just 'natural', it is the way one is molded into a subject by diverse parts of ecologies we grow up in, and which are largely subliminal - the institutionalized assumptions that make us subjects. E.g., fish don't know what water is.

@angela_walch 2/ To examine our lives then is to look inside and also externally/at the context of our lives, all which takes a lot of different skills - some more 'personal', some more 'professional', though that is a very soft boundary.

@angela_walch 3/ What makes this challenging is there isn't an 'outside' to observe from, and so usually, we grow in perception when we find ourselves 'outside' our old conditions - e.g., we age out of youth, we work with new tools/people.

@angela_walch 4/ And that is not to say that 'new' perspectives are more accurate than old ones, even if it feels like that in the moment (our brain always tricks us with our latest feeling/idea as more right); but it does expand our repertoire of perception.

@angela_walch 5/ In our law/tech professions, people tend to lack a lot of emotional literacy to even tackle their self-other reflections. We hold contempt for ourselves/others, we don't really know how to listen, etc, and this ends up hurting our operations and ourselves in the long term.

@angela_walch 6/ On this front, of emotional literacy, Terry Real, Family Systems Therapy, Esther Perel, Carl Rogers, etc, so many resources 2 help us begin to develop that vocabulary. Though, that is just one of many vocabularies - what about body language, organization management theory, etc

@angela_walch 7/ In terms of professional life examination, especially as it relates to collaboration, there is often overemphasis given to wealth or to skills where direct line to immediate revenue stream - which may sometimes help in short term w/ operation but ultimately weakens the market.

@angela_walch 8/ And all 2 often certain ideas get entrenched even when they actually carry large conceptual/analytical/political costs (e.g., decentralization necessarily means anti public sector governance, people should treat all life as transactional)...

@angela_walch 9/ Writing code, like writing draft legislation, or making a business decision that influences others, gives a sense of purpose-direction-agency over one's life. The cost/benefit of that agency is more difficult to assess. www.eastoftheweb.com/cgi-bin/version_printable.pl?story_id=LittFabl.shtml

@angela_walch 10/ Such an interesting question, Angela; I'll stop myself rambling. In terms of law trained / computer trained people collaboration in crypto, so much work to be done in terms of internal/external governance dev of culture to survive upcoming years... Fingers crossed.
