Any idiot can be nonzero sum when it’s pure upside potentiality, and all doubt and ambiguity is on upside. It is easy to be generous when all are winning. The hard version is when there’s downside doubt to0, and you have to give others the benefit of that. That’s vulnerability.

Being kind under $-VUCA has been the 2nd hardest challenge in my life and most of my growth has come from such periods. I’m still quite unkind under such conditions, but better than I used to be (the hardest has been visa-VUCA, and I expect health-VUCA will eventually take gold)

All this growth btw has been unpleasant and not something I would ever sign up for if I didn’t have to. When I’m on top of things , the growth stalls completely, and if I had an opportunity to make enough big money to get of the need to grow this way entirely I’d grab it.

Unlike say the eustress of exercise, which is both good for you and you sometimes actively choose because it is pleasurable under some conditions, VUCA-stress is almost pure distress that hurts you by default unless you decide to experience it in a way that makes you stronger.

This sort of thread is almost completely useless. I do them just to lay things out clearly for myself. People who get it don’t need it, people who need it will likely never get it. They’ll just navigate VUCA with fear, anger, contempt, cruelty, and multiply and spread rage pain.

It’s not really maturity, though maturity refines the basic instinct. I’ve seen the raw trait in children. Some kids seem to decide they’re going to put out 1.5x any pain they experience, others try to contain it, and try to comfort others even when they’re hurting themselves.
