Some name him a second-order cybernetics theoretician alongside the likes of Heinz von Foerster, Gordon Pask, Herbert Brun and Ernst von Glasersfeld. Maturana, along with Francisco Varela and Ricardo B. Uribe, was known for creating the term "autopoiesis" about the self-generating, self-maintaining structure in living systems, and concepts such as structural determinism and structural coupling.[1] His work was influential in many fields, mainly the field of systems thinking and cybernetics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humberto_Maturana (more)

Gaslighting is a term used in self-help and amateur psychology to describe a dynamic that can occur in personal relationships (romantic or parental) and in workplace relationships.[13][14] Gaslighting involves two parties: the "gaslighter", who persistently puts forth a false narrative in order to manipulate, and the "gaslighted", who struggles to maintain their individual autonomy.[15][16] Gaslighting is typically effective only when there is an unequal power dynamic or when the gaslighted has shown respect to the gaslighter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

John Cutler: TBM 254: Self-Gaslighting and the Doubt Loop. Many of the dynamics we deal with at work are not overtly toxic or unhealthy. We know people mean well and do their best, even when nerves fray and things don't pan out. However, left unchecked, these situations (and how you respond to them) erode your sense of self-worth and sap your self-awareness. They can ultimately be even more damaging than acute toxic situations. (more)

Olivia Barnett: WFH Is Not For Me! I had only been working at my first job out of college for about six months before Covid-19 hit. So nearly the entirety of my professional career has been post-Covid and therefore remote-first. Typically, I do not like working from home. Even in college, I don’t think I used my dorm room desk one time. I also avoided the dark, airless libraries of my college. I opted instead for the warmth and liveliness of coffee shops. (more)
