Dear John,

well, with your interest and love you just convened a dialogue around your question in the space that OSLIST provides.

I wonder if I, not "closely watching our system(s) of interest" and not supporting "emerging changes/adaptations that we consider positive" would be welcome in that breakout session.

Would you continue your dialogue under "8,000,000 Emergent - Complex Contagions & Behavior Change"?

Greetings from Berlin

Hmmmm...

I would LOVE to participate in a dialogue around this question:

/*As each of us closely watches our system(s) of interest, and supports emerging changes/adaptations that we consider positive, to what degree should we introduce our own ideas of where and how the system should proceed?*/

Does someone on this thread have the interest and means to convene this dialogue?

Thank you!
John

    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. "Anthropocentrism
    literally means human-centered, but in its most relevant
    philosophical form, it is *the ethical belief that humans alone

        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. 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
