This is good. You’ve given me organizational ideas, too. This particular post is particularly clear and well-organized. Under which tab can I find it going forward? Thank you!

Thank you! I'm still deciding where to save this post in the navigation bar. I'm considering creating posts by major theme, which would include a list of the posts and episodes with brief summaries. If I go in that direction, I'll include a tab with directory posts. It's an interesting challenge to work out. I also plan on making this information available on the Dabrowski Center website. If I do that, I could create a tab here on Substack which links directly to that page. So, there are options. I'm glad you found it helpful!

I've just discovered the podcast, and only listened to three of the original ones. Positive Disintegration... Over Excitabilities... It's fascinating! - looking forward to learning more and this post really helps.

Have you ever related positive disintegration to accelerationism? I'd be interested in that take. 😁

I only have a basic understanding of accelerationism, but I’m definitely intrigued by the possible connections.

Dabrowski did talk about accelerated development, especially in people with strong developmental potential, but that was on the level of individual psychology, not sociopolitical systems. But the idea that breakdown can be a necessary precondition for transformation definitely feels like a shared thread. I’d love to hear more about what connections you see!
