Harrison thank you for sending your thoughts on this thread. Of course, I agree with you. Yes, OST "sounds good to me" as well. Yet how can social self-organizing do more?

Tony, I am curious about the "research" as it might relate to OST. MY experience is that it has spread globally in the most effective way -- self organizing networks. And I am not at all sure what we might have done differently. Lazy, I guess, but when something spreads to all continents with millions of iterations all without a plan or sponsorship. sounds good to me.

    I agree that OST does not contribute to achieving change when it
    comes to building emerging networks of 8,000,000 people.

    Social science research on networks suggests that current OST
    practices are not effective in increasing the rate of OST usage.
    To improve the uptake and utilization of these practices, we may
    need to adopt a more network-informed approach to delivering OST.

    Dear Tony,

    ok, here is one OST worker with an answer:

    OST has nothing to do with "achieving change".
    However, it has been observed, that change and many other lovely
    things
    happen both in and after an OST gathering. As they always do, even
    without an OST gathering.
    The focus of an OST event is not to promote something. The focus
    is on
    the experiment that appears to expand time and space for the
    forces of
    selforganisation to unfold a bit more.
    Focusing on a anything else, would reduce the time and space for
    selforganistion to show up a bit more.

    Before the event, the facilitator promises the sponsor that with
    OST all
    issues can be addressed, worked on and if given enough time also can
    lead to concrete projects. Thats all, we can promise.
    Somtimes, I myself also add that OST always works and that many
    things
    can happen that nobody ever dreamed of.

    Have a great day
    Greetings from Berlin
