Episode Synopsis

The appeal to "cooperate" or "to do this together" is often coercive: it's a way to ensure everyone aligns to what you want. Real cooperation is different. Real cooperation = distributing autonomy + seeking consent around a new idea = not forcing everyone on 1 line
It is impossible to get everyone on 1 line before starting something, and it is impossible to do that at every step of the way.
So you need not want that
Everyone has different ideas about how to realise something, the act of forcing that to 1 given idea you have is not effective.
It works better the other way around : seek for the idea that gathers more people around it, by evolving it into an ever better explanation. By letting the idea evolution free instead of fixed on beforehand
