441.5: How to change a system you don't like

Art Creativity & Wellbeing

How cool is this – our (AI) friends at Notebook.LM made this Deep Dive about my idea for changing systems that we don't like!

* Before we jump in: Coming up in September/October I am offering an entire six-week virtual workshop adventure on changing systems we don't like! Details below or click here.

A few weeks ago I wrote an article at Pathfinders.social on this very topic, how to change a system that we don't like. Today you'll hear our friends talk about this method and how to make it work for you, if there is a system or systems that you'd like to change.

I sure had fun playing with this AI technology. Somewhere in the middle you'll hear one of the hosts' voices adopt an Australian accent! I have no idea how that happened but it did make me laugh.

I've learned that AI can be fun and playful. I know not everyone feels this way. Which is why it feels important to say: unless I say differently, as I'm doing today, all the content you read and hear and see here is human made including the art.

So I invite you to relax into this one and give yourself permission to consider: are there systems you wish were different? What we talk about here today is a sustainable way to do that.

Enjoy!

I am offering an entire virtual workshop around this concept… Here are the deets!
