How I Will Contribute to Collective Liberation by Mid-Century

The purpose of Empathematics is to coordinate collective liberation by 2057 (or whatever mid-century year we come up with collectively).

*Please excuse funky formatting and imperfect writing style; still learning how to blog from my phone on the bus.

I will contribute by:

  • applying an understanding of capitalist economic happenings
  • knowing what movements are working right now
  • breaking down the characteristics of a liberating person
  • breaking down the skillsets of a liberating person
  •     conflict resolution
  •     social deconstruction
  •     politicized healing (self-deconstruction and re-construction)
  •     awareness of micro and macro power structures, both liberating and oppressive
  •     cooperative organizing experience
  •     liberation narratives
  •     etc.
  • spreading an understanding of micro and macro power dynamics
  • spreading a rigorous visionary imagination of what’s possible in micro and macro
  • using data and data visualizations to create milestones of liberation
  • using liberation metrics to see how we’re getting closer
  • starting with self, to community, to region, to more macro
  • cutting people off who are not actively trying to find their role in liberation
  • helping people identify and act on their liberation role
  • visualizing the big picture of:
  •        what liberation is composed of
  •        what it takes to get there
  • adding to the global strategy map
  • setting up mature liberators with self-centered global strategy map
  • applying strategic project management
  • organizing my files across devices
  • prototyping my way through difficult challenges
  • asking for help from the right person at the right time
  • reflecting every day
  • reflecting every week
  • improving my memory
  • speed reading
  • exercising
  • telling people what I’m trying to do
  • saying no to things that don’t immediately empower me (because I’m running out of power right now)
  • applying and explaining interdependence analysis
  • social design
  • re-designing my personality
  • when people design their liberation roles, they’re doing it with an understanding of the big picture, and how they fit into it.
  • holistic and historical problems and solutions understanding
  • demonstrate the holism of problems and solutions, rigorously and creatively, quantitatively and qualitatively.

Okay byeee!
