Assumption of exponential growth, and the ability to build a movement without major landmark successes, that the quality of the sociological institutions within the movement wont matter for growth and resilience much further down the line, that it wont be incredibly valuable to have people in different places across the economy that can only be got at through dedicated time, that the kinds of projects you can do within 2 years have the same marginal return to the kinds of projects you can do within 10 years...
I agree with this about attracting people to the movement as a general principle, but I’m worried that short term focus blinkers us to some fantastic opportunities—which would in turn strengthen the movement as attractors / make us more interesting to outsiders.
Thumbs up. Love the use of stories.
