| ansharihbasri Nov 24 | let me capture another random excerpt from David McRaney's How Minds Change because it's so good and affirming: Most shocks are absorbed. Most cascades never escape their local clusters. Yet every stable system is punctuated by random, routine, global cascades that seem so sudden and unexpected that we pick them apart in retrospect and try to pin their sources on amazing, incredible, visionary people or world-shaking, life-changing, essential inventions instead of the real cause—those occasions when the excitability of the nodes was just right, the density of the connections was all lined up, and a shock that on any other day would go nowhere ends up going everywhere. somewhere in chapter 10 | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
