Thank you so much for pointing this out. Much easier to fix on the blog article than the podcast episode — but we agree. We have (since) been more educated and meant "chaos" rather than "anarchy". "Anarchy" is often (myth) conveyed as chaos and chaos mislabeled (not to lisp, but to spoonerism — mythlabeled) as anarchy.
We will fix it on this page, and we can make a note in the shownotes for the podcast episode.
We don't like heirarchies in internal terms. We do have a group of "elders"? whatever who guide and help make decisions, but who hold no more power than anyone else. We both can't leave governance of our group and choices to the traumaholders who are stuck in the There & Then, nor can we foist responsibility for our life & body onto a select few then wash our hands of it and walk away. We have an extremely active internal system with many workgroups who come back to the whole with ideas and those interested in side projects or subcommittees actively participate — the "elders" look at the big picture, and confer with committees and subcommittees and make sure everything gets coordinated like an orchestra, and everything is on a volunteer basis. This is a trial run as well, fairly new — months — as a branch off of a totally democratic system with a lot more all-hands meetings, so that we can free up resources from large meetings and maybe be able to get more work done in smaller meetings then bring things back to the whole for approvals.
Constantly in experimental mode and taking input from internals and trying/testing things out.
quengas,
