pouring one out for the systems thinkers who can see the abyss and have to live with the darkness

so much about systems change has to align for things to change on anything other than a decades+ timescale but for crisis events (and even in crisis events it's even odds on two steps forward, three steps back), so much is about luck and yet

I think part of the issue is that you can be a systems thinker-singular and then it feels like You Are The One Who Must Change It because You Can See but then again the whole point of the fellowship was that it was a Team Effort and you know exactly which one's the Boromir you're working with

like has anyone studied exactly how much lines up to produce systemic change because I'm pretty sure if you wrote it all out there *would* be the equivalent of "and then some fucking eagles turned up" only eagles are people doing regular people things but fuck me. eagles.
