another bit...
law of two feet... learning and contributing is taking in and giving
out... in this way, it's same basic practice as buddhist practice of
tonglen, often translated as "taking in and sending out" ...specifically
taking in the suffering of others and sending out happiness (in a word),
sometimes described as breathing in tar, soot, and sludge and breathing
out white light, for those visually inclined. anyway, they both seem to
be complete practices... so maybe ost is halfway tech only because it
still has these extra things built in... beyond the law... which seems
to make it still a tech-and-a-half, rather than half-way. the tibetan
book of living and dying has a good bit about tonglen, if you're
interested. also recently blogged at

I am curious why you have that question.
Relate the question with a previous discussion on the
"Tipping Point". Make a search in the OSLIST by
"tipping point"( 2 post of 4 and 7 March 2003). Or go
directly to the book: "The
Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big
Difference," by Malcolm Gladwell (2000):

Your metaphor on epidemics - and tipping points - in
relation with OST is VERY INTERESTING!
By the way, a social tipping point (an epidemics of
one idea - like OST, or the law) is a sort of social
metanoia. Make a search on metanoia on the Archives -
there are a lot of posts in 2001. May also interest
Joelle. Or to see Alberoni's perspectives on metanoia
see http://www.learning-org.com/01.10/0025.html
But
not all the population: just those who are "ready to
be infected".
I don't know exactly why I asked whatever I asked.
I guess I'm
wondering what the "resistence" to "infection" is.
Yes, how quickly will the new OST learsing (as
transformation) spread and what are the resistences to
the OST infection - those are the questions one must
ask to try to understand if a tipping point/metanoia
will come or not.
Comments to other posts later...
