Social Design Club/Cooperative

OLD: What Are We?

→ a matchmaking structure to build social design teams, where people make up for one another's inadequacies (read more)

→ a discord server where we critique social designs (check it out)

→ an event to show off your social design skills ("Beat the Experts") (read more)

Matchmaking

To do social designs well means anticipating many kinds of problems and imagining many kinds of alternatives. Almost no one can do it all. So we build teams. Want to be part of one?

Beat the Experts

Each week a social design is presented in front of experts in game design, social network design, org design, or mechanism design. The experts spend 10 minutes in silence, writing out critiques and suggestions.

So does everyone in the audience. The best audience ideas get upvoted and presented along with the experts' ideas. Can audience members BEAT THE EXPERTS, by thinking of better improvements and critiques?

<aside> 👉 Social designs are systems made by giving people codified roles, responsibilities, or a limited vocabulary of expression—they range from dinner table conversation games to social networks and global governance structures. (see below)
