Hello Liv, thank you for sharing this. I really enjoy the mindfulness and narrative you're bringing with these principles - and your journey to find more win-win context. These certainly give life to that endeavor. I'll be curious to see how you embody these principles, and how they inform win-win concepts/inventions you propagate.
I'm curious how to integrate these principles into a game, or into a lived collaboration. I feel like this list would help screen culture of existing games for win-win mindsets, and I could see the value of identifying examples of where they are seen and not seen. What kind of things benefit from a scoring system? (aka; not love, but yes to diminished externalities). When in games/life are we most likely going to face an opportunity to "grow the pie" vs shrink it, and how can we be mindful of those moments for ourselves and others?
I feel there may be a hidden root or incentive to win-lose strategy like "ego" or "fear", but I'm uncertain if that's the whole picture. It would be cool to expand this a bit more, and once a satisfying spread of rationale are outlined for why win-lose mindset is gravitated towards; re-screen though the principles and see if there's a sentiment that would help anyone struggling with them transform to the win-win strategy.
I can imagine some skits that emphasize these principles in action becoming trendy, and help to further "show" how they might root in reality. I hope this helps to stir up ideas. I'm excited to see where you'll be able to take this.
Liv, what a super list. I've enjoyed coming across your work this last week, it comes at the same issues I spend alot of time thinking about but from a very different lens. I've read a few of your substacks and caught a few podcasts. The ideas you discuss are very cool in relation to human/human interactions, I am wondering how you see your thought models applying to our more than human interactions? One of my primary lenses is as a regenerative farmer and I'll admit I really struggled with the resource implications of your utopias/distopias episode. I enjoyed the mental gymnastics of the thought games but from my perspective we are playing these games in a very finite box that is being pushed very close to limits. I'd love your thoughts on how we play win-win games with nature. I think regenerative farming is an example, it does not require the massive energy and fossil input of industrial farming, allows farm animals more dignified lives and contributes to the repair of eco systems, while allowing us to reap sustenance in return. I guess secretly I harbour fears about our ability to scale such systems to provide for all of us - perhaps that is just my scarcity training! I'd love your thoughts! xo
