I was writing this 20+ years ago, that Systems can’t be fundamentally changed by working inside the System. It’s fascinating to see it being recognized so widely now.

I’d love to also see acceptance of the old POSIWID theory:

the Purpose Of a System Is What It Does. This has been sooo useful over the years in recognizing the gas-lighting from people who say a System “isn’t working, but it’s the best we’ve got so let’s work to fix it”. When in fact, the System is usually working exactly as intended for those who benefit most from it.
