I think this is one of my best contributions to language/concepts. Will take some pitching and selling for people to get it but I think it’s a superior definition https://t.co/kpLwYwzr8p
longer thread from when it came together for me https://t.co/5m8PhZ4V9Y
I would like to propose that the most important part of the definition of a "project" is, it should be something that cannot be easily accomplished by a single individual in a single sitting which is to say, a project is something that requires *collaboration* across states https://t.co/CeOZRRBanD
collaboration is humanizing and empowering, and the inability to collaborate is dehumanizing and disempowering. This is true at the smallest and largest scales. A conversation with a dear friend vs “talking to a wall”. A city building public transportation and housing vs not
can we collaborate? can we labor together? or can we not? this might be the most fundamental question for human beings https://t.co/z9ZZwKG55P
@visakanv Yeah it's one of those beautiful moments where someone distills the essence of a concept, in a way that deepens the obvious colloquial meaning, rather than a sort of prescriptivist attempt to say what a commonly-used word *should* mean.
