1. In this shortform, I show how the attractor for a cult (Kegan 4.5 leaders) is very easy to confuse with the attractor for a great culture (Kegan 5 leaders). This is a pattern I’ve noticed a bunch when looking at good cultures, and I’d love to do a talk called “Cult is the root of culture” where I show a bunch of instances of this.
3. The thing I’ve been spending most of my time on is teaching how to overcome akrasia. I have a workshop that shows experientially what it’s like to act from a non-coercive place (that goes over much of the material in this comment) and I’d love to lesswrongify it and run some exercises during the talk.
Which of these would you be most interested in as a talk?
Ehh, I realized that I don’t understand the first two well enough to give a good 5 minute talk, and the last one can’t be given experientially in 5 minutes. Will instead choose a topic that’s more transparent to me and conceptual in nature.
