The factor tha t predicts group performance is not the intelligence of the members — it is the quality of their interaction. We call this the c-factor. In 2024\, MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence published a meta-analysis that a dds a sharp new constraint: when one of the 'members' is an AI\, the math changes.\n\nhttps://supercivilization.xyz/social/collective-intelligence URL:https://supercivilization.xyz/social/collective-intelligence CATEGORIES:Social TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:edition-social-dunbar-nesting@supercivilization.xyz DTSTAMP:20260614T213933Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260315 SUMMARY:The 5/15/50/150 Pattern: Why Organizations Break at Predictable Siz es DESCRIPTION:Successful human organizations — military units\, villages\, religious communities\, companies — cluster around the same set of group sizes: 5\, 15\, 50\, 150. The pattern is not coincidence\, but the precis e number is more contested than it once seemed. Robin Dunbar's social-brai n hypothesis frames these as biologically-informed central tendencies with substantial individual variance\; Lindenfors et al. (2021) showed the und erlying primate dataset is consistent with group sizes from 2 to 520. The design principle survives the critique: organizations that ignore these th resholds fracture. The number to remember is less important than the *shap e* — nested layers with sharply diminishing investment per person.\n\nht tps://supercivilization.xyz/social/dunbar-nesting URL:https://supercivilization.xyz/social/dunbar-nesting CATEGORIES:Social TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:edition-social-stag-hunt@supercivilization.xyz DTSTAMP:20260614T213933Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260315 SUMMARY:The Stag Hunt: Why Trust Beats Incentives DESCRIPTION:Most coordination failures are not caused by bad incentives. Th ey are caused by insufficient trust. The stag hunt — a game theory model where cooperation is the best outcome and everyone knows it — reveals t hat the barrier to positive-sum outcomes is not greed but fear. When peopl e are uncertain whether others will show up\, they choose the safe option over the optimal one. This reframes the central challenge of social archit ecture: not aligning incentives\, but building confidence. Active 2024–2 025 work extends the model into bounded-rationality evolutionary dynamics and cooperative-R&D alliance design — where the same fear-vs-greed disti nction now shapes how organizations decide whether to share AI infrastruct ure or wall it off.\n\nhttps://supercivilization.xyz/social/stag-hunt URL:https://supercivilization.xyz/social/stag-hunt CATEGORIES:Social TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:edition-social-building-together@supercivilization.xyz DTSTAMP:20260614T213933Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260310 SUMMARY:Building Together: The Supersociety Vision DESCRIPTION:Cooperatives survive longer than conventional businesses\, open -source software underpins 98% of codebases\, and DAOs manage roughly $24 billion in shared assets. The Supersociety is not a theory — it is an ob servable reorganization of how humans collaborate.\n\nhttps://superciviliz ation.xyz/social/building-together URL:https://supercivilization.xyz/social/building-together CATEGORIES:Social TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:edition-social-ostroms-playbook@supercivilization.xyz DTSTAMP:20260614T213933Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260310 SUMMARY:Ostrom's Playbook: 8 Principles That Actually Govern the Commons DESCRIPTION:Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel Prize for proving that communities can govern shared resources without privatization or top-down control. Her eight design principles — drawn from fishing villages\, irrigation syst ems\, and forests worldwide — map almost exactly onto the structures tha t make Wikipedia\, Linux\, and functional DAOs work. They also map onto th e live commons-governance fights of 2025–2026: Wikimedia throttling AI s crapers\, NYT v. OpenAI\, EU AI Act TDM rules\, and the deep-seabed mining licenses that just unilaterally opened the high-seas commons.\n\nhttps:// supercivilization.xyz/social/ostroms-playbook URL:https://supercivilization.xyz/social/ostroms-playbook CATEGORIES:Social TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:edition-social-psychological-safety@supercivilization.xyz DTSTAMP:20260614T213933Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260310 SUMMARY:Why Psychological Safety Beats Talent Every Time DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, Google set out to build the perfect team. They assume d the answer was talent — the right mix of skills\, experience\, and int elligence. After studying 180 teams over three years\, they found somethin g else entirely. Psychological safety — the belief that you can speak up without being punished — was the most consistently observed predictor o f team performance among the variables they tracked. Not slightly. Substan tially. A decade later\, Amy Edmondson's 2024 work with Michaela Kerrissey quantified what that looks like in burnout-resistance and retention — a nd a new question has opened: what happens to psychological safety when yo ur teammate is an AI?\n\nhttps://supercivilization.xyz/social/psychologica l-safety URL:https://supercivilization.xyz/social/psychological-safety CATEGORIES:Social TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
