Another thing I see all the time is splitting a multi-structure development into multiple phases which is typically a much smaller change (percentage wise) for architects than it is for other disciplines.

def depends on project type. I think the worst is maybe public/private or certain kinds of design/build.

in my experience changes always creep in somehow. then we’ve already billed 100% for CDs, and as subs we almost never have bid phase fee so we end up borrowing from CA and just kick the can down the road

Obviously variable, but I feel like CDs lose about 1-2% completion a month they sit fallow.

curious what people think is the “shrinkage rate” on contract documents. As in, if you deliver a client a 100% bid set and they sit on those documents for 12 months, what is that “100%” now the equivalent to, in terms of work required to get it out the door again.

But also, vaccines were always a better target because (1) people don’t like needles and (2) they‘re mandated by government experts and the whole movement is based on distrust of expertise and public enterprise. Going after a widely-available consumer good just doesn’t have the same juice.

Part of it is that conspiratorial movements don’t actually want the government to reveal the truth, because then their entire identity as conspiracists collapses.

I have no evidence but I kind of suspect that the tylenol=autism thing isn’t going to have legs in the alternative health crowd the way RFK might hope.

But McKibben would also point out how fossil fuel companies have strategically emphasized individual action to pre-empt or distract from collective action or regulation. So is there a “good” and a “bad” way to promote individual action? Or is the difference just the motives of the person doing it?

Proven Winner @provenwinner.bsky.social · 4d

The other thing I wonder about is the slippery boundary between what is collective vs individual. For example, I see people like Bill McKibben sometimes promote the idea that by demonstrating and talking about individual action those actions can become ”contagious,” and have a collective impact…

Does anyone have recommendations for critical/scholarly writing on the interplay between individual and collective or systemic action on environmental issues? Stuff that looks at the pitfalls and potential of frameworks like personal carbon footprints or individual consumer choice?
