- Planktonne 4mo agoPeople inevitably attach unwarranted meaning to such things though--you'd end up with rowboat networking groups, people referring to themselves as galleon-speedboat hybrids on LinkedIn, companies saying they're in the post-coracle 'coraccelerate' phase. It's tribalism that distracts from actual progress; every cowboy/hunter/ship would be more productive if they stopped trying to pigeonhole themselves.
- rhunterharris 4mo agoOP here. I did like the metaphor of each group laying foundations for the next group. I might not have gotten this across, but I also feel like there is a sort of ‘terraforming’ aspect too - each group ushers in the next group, which in turn changes things to a point where the previous group gets less and less comfortable.
