Having grown up in Berkeley at the height of Mandelbrot change theory, I have an allergic reaction to these lines of argument, which I find unproductive and quite often used to make bold claims for small-step effectiveness without the need to provide any actual evidence.
Beth doesn't advocate for small-step effectiveness. Metaphors are often helpful for understanding, and the fractal metaphor was helped me conceptualize change on many different levels, and how these levels interact.

Large scale, systemic change(s) are, of course, what's needed. And what I try to emphasize. But Beth's threads opened me, in good ways, to the ways different levels interact and influence one another.
