I want to say this is brilliant, but then I'd have to deal with you thinking I think your brilliant...so I'll pretend this isn't brilliant, even though it's brilliant:
"The myth of neutrality has always served power. This news model would do away with it entirely. Instead, it would embrace positionality, voice, and lived experience—not as bias, but as context."
I will need to throttle my desire to come up with a business model-backed solution and just enjoy the grand conjuration that has occurred in this article.
I am curious about your definition of neurodivergent. Have you delved into this elsewhere or do you have a pithy way to describe your use of neurodivergence in this and a broader sense?
Currently I'd say my definition is radically inclusive and is based on self identification. As far as I'm concerned anyone who believes they are probably are. Same with disability. We all experience it in someway somehow.
It is one thing to be having a conversation, but how do other people find the conversation and switch a mindset from passive viewer to participant?
Infrastructure is needed -- I ran my own blogging platforms for decades on servers I owned, but at this point in my life I need to move up the technology stack and have that be somewhere else. Substack is providing ideas Discovery in a way my self-hosting or even Google's blogspot. I get comments on Substack.
You have done the work to set up the audio-video recording, and host discussions, but you also rely on external infrastructure to get that in front of potential participants.
At one point I was trying to use Twitter as an RSS feed to discover conversations, but even before the Musk purchase it was obvious that the culture on that platform was more debate and "win" rather than discuss and learn.
Facebook seems to be following Twitter.....
... Do we keep moving from one platform to another as the culture of each platform becomes more toxic to healthy conversation?

A pattern in my own thinking -- I'm excited to talk about different potential futures, but my mind automatically goes to how to get from here to there. That was likely visible in our conversation -- I don't just want to say "the old ways of thinking are dying", but figure out a way to help other people move away from the dying and into a living future.
I don't believe in "Move fast and break things", as seems to be the culture of other parts of the tech industry, but identify flaws and how those flaws impact a network (it is all relations).
Think global, act local-- but in more than what is thought of in traditional political ways, and in both time and space (always think 7 generations, but act now).
I'm inclined to think that in this climate emergency migration is entirely expected. Migrating digital platforms seems trivial to me if the larger mission is pursued, let alone the kind of open source infrastructure that is slowly but surely emerging.

Thanks, Jesse.

I love this
