Even mainstream soccer now has coaches working on motivational environments, practice structures & competition formats to encourage perceptual attunement to how interactions shape the affordances of others š PS. patterns need to be emergent properties rather than imposed models!

This š is a glorious example of how we unwittingly build barriers to skill development - including in the case study, where young players are being inducted into acting as human algorithms rather than being helped to perceive shared affordances to disrupt opposition play š«£
...But now players will be solving with knowledge... and basing their answers on knowledge as opposed to guessing... and they will be applying a shared understanding instead of each player trying to solve in a different way. End.

Cultures truly matter. You do not have to dictate what narrative individuals should adopt but rather influence their existing narratives to foster a more sustainable perspective. This video demonstrates how a company can use our software SenseMakerĀ® for cultural mapping within

āParents who want their children to attend school are being gas-lit, & disbelieved by an ed system which puts families under increasingly expansive and critical surveillanceā ā see @timlinehan š§µ on this š report, & on a truly dysfunctional narrative š https://t.co/IWhtnJDoN2
leeds.ac.uk
Children who are not considered āschool readyā are more than twice as likely to become persistently absent at some point in their education, according to a new study led by the University of Leeds.
5. Then the authors talk about an absence epidemic because families are not engaged. Thereās little reflection on how schools or the ed system may be failing children. How they might become child ready. There is no scrutiny of the education system. Just families. And children.

āI think the only starting point for any resolute ethics capable of dealing with the world as it actually is must be to assume that you are simply not qualified to decide for yourself what evil is. you have to accept the world FIRST and then critique itā ā @tenshi_anna š
I honestly think the argument from evil is the most vulgar and daft argument against theism, and if you entertain it you've already missed the entire point of theism itself. really it's about questioning your own moral judgment: who are YOU to decide what evil is?
