Speed Has a Prerequisite, and its Prerequisite Has a Prerequisite

​Value is obsessed with speed. But speed is not spontaneous. Thoughtless speed is a traffic jam. Speed’s prerequisite is synchronization.

​Often but casually, we already mention synchronization. Alignment. The timing of numerous moving parts. We can’t synchronize the complexity of an infinite number of moving pieces. We must identify a finite number of moving pieces to synchronize. The finite number is not obvious, but it requires simplicity.

​So, speed’s prerequisite is synchronization. Synchronization’s prerequisite is simplicity. This session discusses this and its opposites: complexity, infinity, and anxiety.

​Agenda

• ​Simplicity of Rhythm & Muscle Memory

• ​Synchronization of Finite Productivity

• ​Low Marginal Cost’s influence on speed

​Takeaways

• ​Old obsession was frequency, speed, and short duration

• ​New obsessions are simplicity, synchronization, and low marginal cost

• ​Significant unlearning and relearning

• ​How community insight shapes future themes and speaker topics
