[Dialogue] "Emergence" and "Leaderless Revolutions"

[Wayne Nelson]

This snip makes a great tie-in with ICA's Transitions project.  This is certainly one of the leading edge social development initiatives. The approach and style are built on an emerging set of assumptions about the universe. It builds connections among people, reducing social distance and building social capital. I think this is something we need to learn more about. 

I certainly applaud the architects of that project and blessing on all involved.

This is the phenomenon of 'emergence,' a key characteristic of complexity: that from the combined actions of many agents, acting according to their own microcosmic preferences and values, a new condition may emerge from the bottom up, almost unconsciously, and certainly without imposition by government, god or anyone else."
