One of the “basics” posts I should probably write is a proper critical summary of Carse. But I’ve kinda become too lazy (in a bad way) to do that kind of community service post. My top 3 in this genre are my posts on Seeing Like a State, Metaphors of Organization, and Impro.

Eight Metaphors of Organization is probably “Hacking Business Thinking from a World-building Perspective for Game-Thinking Nerds”https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/13/the-eight-metaphors-of-organization/ …

These posts btw rarely go viral, but are reliable and evergreen drivers of 4x-5x traffic if you want a cynical reason to do them. But more importantly they offer you *freedom* to write about stuff which would otherwise be inaccessible because there is no compact reference post.

Others besides me have written such opinionated summary posts on ribbonfarm (Sarah on René Girard, Tiago last week on adrienne maree brown) not all such attempts work. Sometimes attempts degenerate into basic reviews or tedious cliff notes.
