I was listening to Episode 6 of Vervaeke's "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis", in which he talks about the distinction between cause and condition. A billiard ball can move another one by transferrin...
Vervaekes series is great. I think about this a lot. In my head I call it “conditions of emergence”.
You can’t make things happen by directly focusing on them in the specific, you need to create the environment for them to emerge.
Anything natural requires this. It’s also the only way to cultivate what is authentic behaviour. Create the conditions of sincerity & people will emerge as they are. This is also the easiest way to understand any behavioural outcome from an existing system, to study the conditions/ space/ environment it creates. It also speak a lot to Christopher Alexander’s work on why the way physical spaces are built (cities, buildings, homes etc)
