Spencer, I think your Information Asymmetry analysis is quite interesting. You mentioned Dave Henson in this sentence: "...Dave Henson ... categorized activism largely into three buckets: Fire Fighting, Rule Changing, and World Building." His buckets are wonderful. Has Henson published these activism buckets somewhere that I could cite his three buckets in an article I am writing for an academic journal? Ray

Hi Ray, really appreciate it! Unfortunately Dave has not published it anywhere I know of although he has presented it many times to his permaculture course and perhaps through his work with Movement Generation. It’s truly such a great framework and if it’s useful to your paper I’m sure he’d love to help out. You may want to reach out to him, you can find his email on the OAEC website.

Would similarly love something tangible to cite!! If Dave Henson links you to anything, I would love to know about it!

This explanation “They have not only captured the information architecture but the choice architecture, limiting the options of what you can buy and from whom you can buy” clarifies for me a feeling I have had for a while. I am far from sure that the ‘independent’ popular podcasters like Rogan are outside that architecture.

Very true - independent is not the only qualifying quality. It’s more like organizations that are beholden to their subscribers over advertisers or let’s say a multi-million dollar contract with Spotify.

They also keep interviewing other chief execs, CFO’s and board members about this case. INTERVIEW THE ACTUAL EMPLOYEES. I don’t think the working class UHC employs would have so much baseless praise for their fallen CEO. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
