Angel Patterns vs Dark Patterns #concept

How can we use technology to scaffold human interactions, to build empathy - watching Netflix Social Dilemmas - I’m calling it “Angel Patterns” from “Better Angels of Our Nature”

“How did we get to modern Consumption”

Making physical sanctuaries - slow low key and accessible - Free Massage Tents

Real estate centers - where you get super expensive -

Life Credits ** -

Diana - I run Dreamlist - consumption by intent instead of advertising - exploded in gift-drives - thousands of lists - lists of need and community fulfills it - rain of goodness - seeing the lists get fulfilled

(toys for little kids). Driving consumption into the local community (even if its more expensive)

- Oppositive of Amazon (big ecommerce) pillaging the local communities from consumption

When the dignity comes back, the confidence comes back, and what they can do for other people

Gift - giving - receiving joy (both sides receive joy) - proportion of communication - essentially the same thing - the response back - giving card to a person - simple things, stick in the mind - reward centers of brain

Perspectives from

India

Bulgaria

- Currency devalue - everyone lost their value - people who had assets survived

- When anything can happen -

- Scarcity - people look for resources that are available anywhere

- Doctors started using dreamlist to find hard to find parts of personal respirators

- Husband was director of ICU - run the ventilators - find the 10 different parts of Paper kits consisted of - and ordering them - arrived within a week

- When things are hard to “get”- people come to dreamlist

-

Advertising is a corrosive business model

Hedonic treadmill - people who end up with significant disabilities - often at baseline of happiness within a year

- Increasing standard of living - feels backsliding to go back

- Moving up and down the “standards of life”

Higher levels of stress - increases needs of dopamine

If you live a stress free life - dont need a lot of dopamine

Car Ownership*

- US has been held hostage

US Products - US advertising is imbuing products with “emotional” feeling - of confidence - of going forward - buying US goods is buying the sales

Increase that margin - that trickles down wealth into the system - saving money and damages you - reduces xxx of econo

Walmart - succeeded as a business - operate a super store in 10,000 people (Kmart thought that community threshold was 20,000) - monopoly of small town america - all their small communities -

- Shrunk the margins - the local communities became

- If you don’t have the margins - its like animal with no fat on it

Kids - want a Superhero costume - they want to characteristics that superman has (they acquires it)

Real world - you have limited number of critical tasks - need to filter down people

Trust - comes with sacrifice - have to prove yourself to

Play pretend - is good for discovering yourself

Competing for zero sum games - where you need to be trusted - out do the others - be flawless
