Affinity and Achievement Needs and Community

• For me, as a low desire for affinity and high desire to achieve person, there is no such thing as community, and the world is composed of project.

therefore

• “We were active in the BMOT community as long as there was a concrete project, like a BMOT lecture, but when the project was no longer there, we were not aware of it at all.
• When introducing themselves, they tend to talk about the projects they are working on instead of their community affiliation.

  • When you introduce yourself, you always talk about the project you’re working on and don’t talk about your affiliation or anything like that.

  • Self is perceived as a “project” rather than a “community”.
  • Self-identity is expressed by activity rather than [belong to
  • Murder Mysteries is identified as a separate “project” each time.
  • It is not recognized as a “community” called “Ginza Madamisukai.
  • I guess it’s a project and a community in my mind.
    • We are a community where every time we do a project, we make it a time that everyone will be glad to have participated in today.
  • The feeling that when Madamis is no longer held, it is the difference world view between thinking “the community will remain” and feeling “the project is no longer occurring…”
• I thought of this when I looked at the Slack of an engineering community that used to hold development camps at an onsen ryokan (hot spring) for the first time in a long time.
  • I stopped going to that Slack because no projects were being done there.
• I go to Yasuno’s Team, Code for Japan and JAPAN CHOICE Slack.
  • This is because that’s where the project is taking place.

I personally am not a nomad physically, but I am settled in Tokyo all the time.

• But by being less aware of Community and more aware of the world in terms of projects, they may be doing abstract nomadism, “moving to where the project is”.
• Low sense of belonging to [village
• Like hunters who go hunt bears when they see bears?
  • And this one, well, it’s a project.
  • If you beat it the end.
  • End of story.

next Community as a bundle of projects
