Thirdness

Belonging Without Fitting In

Thirdness

The analytical third is a term for the intersubjective space co-created from unique subjectivities when people can show up in process.

Thirdness started as a meta-community in 2020:

A new type of community
A place to belong, but not fit in
A place to discover your creative surplus

All communities are transactional; all ask you to fit in.

They are anchored in a specific economic *sport* (say Design), and don’t allow for anything that wants to expand the definition of Design.

You can never show up with new thoughts, ideas, or aspirations that don’t fit in.

That will necessarily make the space transactional, because without confusion (which is creativity), all we have are products.
