Came back to Europe 3 days ago & been nonstop thinking about this emergent community we're part of. Because there _is_ a community. What is it about? I started trying to write down what I see as our shared values (?), making people peers across geographies. What do you think?

@vgr has been thinking out loud about some kind of gestalt intelligence emerging in social media, feels at least tangentially relevant even if I can’t quite articulate howhttps://twitter.com/vgr/status/1125119314611171328?s=21 …Brian Heligman added,

I wrote a massive article in last 3 days about this whole experience in the past 18 months but then became worried it would be counterproductive: it could "fix" something delightfully flexible and natural & may seem elitist/exclusive which is exactly the opposite of what it is.

A massive article would probably do exactly that, but the right explicit documentation might “unfix” your experiences in a fertile way, so seems a pity not to try. Maybe a list of manifesto style bullet points is what you need? Something like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology …

Thanks!! Compiling all the links now into a mini-library. Here's my dilemma: 1. I want to do more & regular community work (UK/SF) bc it's wanted & needed. How much do we need contours for defining values, solve financials, etc.? 2. This is emotional & any definition may ruin it

Hard to make suggestions because I have literally no idea what this is about beyond the cryptic tweets and event/travel photos from you and @visakanv
Chicken-egg problem. Until you share at least a minimal view, only those who participated in whatever you did can help you think

You're super right. I think I have an idea. Can I DM you?
