My experience is that self organizing systems do very well with their primary task of adaptation. They get in trouble when we try to organize them.
Yes I agree
I think there is a middle ground here, however. -- that would be to watch the system closely and be supportive of system changes/adaptations that are emerging and are positive. This would NOT mean introducing our own ideas of where and how the system should proceed.
Hmm, it seems that always some one or some power will decide "where and how the system should proceed." The winds of Artificial Intelligence are blowing
The analogy with sailing is exact I think. No salor creates the wind. Good sailors ride the winds that blow.
Where is this journey going and why? The winds of Artificial Intelligence and more are of our own making.

In Solidarity,

    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?
    More Fun - Less Stuff,

    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. You can learn more about this by
        watching Damon Centola's talk at https://youtu.be/hFijjJmndG8.

        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
