Coordination Is
a Technology
Getting people to move together is a solvable problem
coordination isn't a vibe. it's a technology, and it can be designed.
The Protocol · 5 steps
1
Most problems are coordination problems
we know what to do; we just can't get aligned. that's the bottleneck.
2
Shared goals beat good intentions
a group needs one clear target it agrees on.
3
Align incentives
people move when the right thing is also the rewarding thing.
4
Communication is the substrate
coordination runs on shared context.
5
Small coordinated groups punch huge
a few aligned people out-move a misaligned crowd.
Run it: pick one group you're in. say the one shared goal out loud and check everyone agrees.
“have you ever aligned incentives so self-interest converges on cooperation?”
TL;DR the bottleneck → shared goal → aligned incentives → shared context → leverage
