What ChatGPT gets right about Liminosophy - Part 1: Organisations

Within this series of articles I recount my experience in asking ChatGPT some questions about liminosophy. One of them was about organisational culture. In my own work I emphasise the importance of collective liminal states also for groups of people to navigate the unknown, find new solutions, experience collective creativity, but also to safely endure anxiety and risk. The result of a collective liminal state I describe as "liminal farming": Within liminal states new information becomes available which previously was not accessible and can be used to shape future events:

The emotional state can be described as one of "anxietement" and it is not uncommon that people are reluctant to either enter that state of mind. But once they do they find it joy- and playful and surprisingly fresh, creative and insightful. Often the insight gained is sees useful for decision making and planning, because the information itself is resilient and flexible enough to be adapted to a very complex environment. Emergence and liminal states are directly linked. And emergence is the primary factor when establishing new systems, structures and solutions.

And what does ChatGPT have to say about this? Lets see:

So this is already good news. ChatGPT confirms my model by listing first the aspect of change. It also mentions that change and uncertanty are fear inducing and that liminosophy acknowledges and embraces this fact. But ChatGPT goes further and highlights the importance of creativity and innovation. Which is a value in itself:

The third utility I had not even thought of but groups and organisations which are working in a high risk environment, let us say in a setting of crisis and conflict, can benefit enormously from liminal states, by building resilience in anticipation to external shocks. The summary really says it all:
