3️⃣ We can’t ‘manage’ collaborative climates. While professional ‘catalysts’ can play a beneficial role, a (rotating) group of volunteers is needed to maintain this ‘affective commons.’ Community is key.

2️⃣ Sustainable collaborative atmospheres involve people in a shared sense of togetherness and mutuality, but dissonance or learning how to have a good fight is equally important. We call this a ‘polyrhythmic affectivity’.

1️⃣ Events play a crucial role in stabilizing a collaborative climate. Large, centrally organized ones like retreats, conferences or hackathons, as well as emergent, bottom-up meetups, breakfasts or running groups and yoga sessions.

From research, we know that such a buzz typically soars like a rocket and then collapses equally fast. Much like a social movement. @drozas and I were puzzled: How can we maintain 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 collaboration? Our takeaways:

🌈🤝 Everybody who has been part of a buzzing coworking space, incubator, or online community knows the sensation: Inspiration, support, aliveness - a special spirit of potentiality is in the air.

The more I work with ChatGPT4, the less I think it is "doing thinking" and the more I think people are just "doing language" and not thinking for themselves. In other words, "thinking for oneself" has to have something to do with that which is "not language."

This paper looks at 50 years of hockey data to show a neat example of how work practices can spread. When Russian players were allowed to play for NHL teams in 1989, they had a very different play style, based on elegant skating rather than aggression. 🇺🇸& 🇨🇦 players adopted it.
