Buzz Submitted by : Dr. Ali Anani
Buzz: Habits Are Spontaneous Reactions
Quotes Harvey Lloyd saying "I have always sensed that opportunity is created by leaders that seek a landscape of "win/win". Within this creation the law of unintended consequences tends to play in your favor of opportunity"
I have created a preamble to this buzz on LinkedIn.
Just as personal brand is an entropic response to a culture manifested in Identity, Dr. Ali Anani explores habits as an entropic response and discussing this spontaneous response with reference to organizational dynamics.
I favour the syntropic response, so in the case of personal brand, my alternative is capability management and in terms of organizational dynamics it is structure and space.
The key here is that structure is built of space and from space structure emerges. The reality of existence is that empty space is not empty. It goes against nature to have a vacuum, though the expression nature abhors a vacuum is true in the context of what exists within the Earth. Yet space which can have a near perfect vacuum still is not empty.
Alan Watts goes beyond describing the negative consequence of spontaneous response and shows how a Zen approach turns spontaneity into an advantage and a positive and that aside from the skills of spontaneity that groups like comedians perfect. The net result is that syntropy as a means of seeing our world can create a whole new structure and space then the one we are all accustomed to, and as shown in the last American election that voted for entropy.
They voted for that because politicians are not interested in syntropy, it is far removed from being a vote winner. Our democracy is thus an entropic system of governance - but even politics can be transformed as a syntropic system of governance - but maybe we will have to wait for the arrival of a syntropic century. For now we continue to reside in an entropic century but with a few minor examples of syntropic development - but way to small in scale to represent a societal tipping point that we could call renaissance. So long as we are focused on entropic habits, for sure we will become even more the masters of disaster but the structure and space we can transform is based not on a new reality but a reality as real as nature.

Think about what disagree is, it is entropic state, but so is agreement, so in agreement and disagreement we are focused on state change. I accept the largely entropic nature of existence. The opposite of entropy is negentropy, so even in the discussion of syntropy the traditional view of syntropy is through the lens of entropy or negentropy or "negative entropy". I shared the following link last week but I share it here again because it represents a syntropic view - and this is a piece by Devdutt Pattanaik http://devdutt.com/articles/applied-mythology/society/agree-disagree-argue.html In vi-vaad, everybody seeks a voice. In sam-vaad, everyone finds an ear. Whether it is a Pulitzer Prize winner or a simple comment online, life is an opinion - but opinion is a voice, and the first ear of our voice is ourselves. That does not end conversations, it simply replaces the process of following with the spirit of exploring. When we have entropy running through our mind, spirit and body it may energize or deplete our inner sense of being, but when we have syntropy flowing within, we may be whatever nature that flow is, but our syntropy is with humanity as a flow within. We will still wrestle with entropy because the bubble life holds us in is an economic prison, but syntropy is us breaching the very walls of that prison, we will not be free of it because that is not how our society is configured, but we can take a step outside the walls of it. Even if we escape the economic effects of entropy we do not escape it's final effect which is death, but we are still life. Life is now.

There is healthy tension and mindful tension and there is the tension that keep the urban masses from falling into a state of anarchy. The highest level of economic dependency exists in the urban community even though farmer suicides in India reveal that economic dependency has also enveloped the farmer, a group one would think could be independent of an urban system. Learned helplessness has entropic roots and our dependency on the power grid and a very finely tuned system of logistics means that the resilience of our society always depends on a few large scale systems that includes water supply. Yet we can redesign our cities to be more syntropic - and a couple of architects are good examples, these being Bjarke Ingels and Jan Gehl. Ingels is an exciting young artchitect whose book "Yes is More" typifies a more human and affirmative design mind. Jan Gehl is even more synctropic with his "liveable cities" approach and human scale design mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxywJRJVzJs Forget the millennials and boomer distinctions for these emanate from entropic professions such as traditional marketing and human resources. I am focused on the the past which is full of an entropic generation and a future which has an emerging syntropic generation. These generations are not age related, they are mind-spirit-being related. That is what I am focused on, that is my structure and space. This world is largely filled with expertise in how to deal with entropic consequence but it is a small group of people who are engaged in creating syntropic consequence - we are moving here from a world of unintended consequence to smart consequence, or at least that is the world fertilizing in my own mind - this is my structure and space.

Harvey your view reminds me of the 30 second bit about the "first one through the wall" in Moneyball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D59Oh8sQFSM What unfortunately gets lost because it is not priced into the value of action is the selfless patience to help people through a difficulty and this is not priced into quality of life because so much care-giving is under the radar, it is invisible, people making a difference without any thought that they are making a difference - other than who it is they are caring for or tending. What you have described is an entropic system and in that system who can blame anyone who succumbs on occasion That is the same system I hear Lisa Vanderburg tries to address in her work practice, and she has also lived through as a caregiver. Many simply have no clue. Even if the clueless got clued, there needs to be the strength of character to be able to absorb and appreciate this reality. If people shut people down for the most mundane of reasons, how can they appreciate the significant? Instead of appreciating those that persevere in the face of adversity or develop resilience, the fallback is out of sight is out of mind or the very dichotomy you speak of where right and wrong mindset is the easy way out.

The key is the break from the narrative more so than the reality that only a few break from the narrative. In the context of today you and me Harvey represent the few in our particular context and time. That you see the future in my being and I see the future in your being, this is the blessing. The curses may distract or even educate us, but it is the blessing that brings the reality that transforms our senses - where we transform as sensory beings. For sure there are people who in trying to protect their financial or egotistical scraps in this world want us to be made senseless or insensitive. As you said in #8 only we can give our power away to these people. Fear then is a rear-window concept even when it is a fear of the future, which is what the bully fears.

This is why I love the Life in Syntropy video because the energy needed comes from a shift in thinking that serves to accelerate abundance mentality and in this case it is people who have seen the symbiotic relationship between agriculture practice and forests. They have also made connections between pruning and natural fertilization of the soil. My own mother preaches one central practice which has enriched our own famliy, which is the idea that energy creates energy. I did not think of this as syntropic mindset but now I am aware of syntropy I can see it clearly. My uncle had an entropic mindset and while he loved his older sister (my mother) he used to dig in his heels and continue to live life his way, and though what he thought he was engaged in was "freedom", it was entropic freedom and today he is no more but he cried much realizing that his choices created chaos and destruction - though that was never his intent, yet though his death was a horrid illness the irony is that he wanted to die and yet saw too late the unintended consequences. For sure my mother lost a brother she deeply loved and she definitely does not want to be proven right - what goes wrong goes wrong, but we as a society have become experts in entropy, but I do not think we have in comparison become anywhere close to becoming experts in syntropy.

Dear Harvey Lloyd we share the same common core and for some time I did think that only a cataclysmic event will shift the polarity of the human condition, but if that was true then as I look at pictures today of bombed out cities in Syria and northern Iraq, I don't see the birthing from that destruction, I see weapons, engineering and construction companies benefit from entropy. Such is the magnitude of that destruction that America has seemingly been more prone to elect Presidents & VP's whose families benefit from strategic entropy. Look at the video marked "Life in Syntropy" - that is happening right now, it is proof positive that there are few people in this world who are walking with the flow rather than against the flow. It is true that our education system has taught us to step in lock, stock and barrel conditioned formation but if that is the prevailing condition, how does that explain the existence of the kind of people who will relate to this buzz? Relating here is not the same thing as responding. We can also respond in entropic fashion. It is not as if this truth has not been depicted. In the 60's Patrick McGoohan wrote and acted in the Prisoner series and in our century the movie The Matrix was released by the Wachoswski brothers (though their core motivation was that they were game makers who happened to make a movie). The key is that there is awareness about awareness. The cataclysmic scenario however does feed into beliefs about the apocalypse, which is the most extreme form of entropic belief human beings have - the ultimate doomsday scenario. We may be that stupid as a human race but we can are be smart.
