I came to the same conclusion today but via analogy with sports. Yep, guerilla action is the key – not lumbering army. I think it is also useful to imagine we have been hit by an earthquake and have lost a lot of infrastructure. We just start building again, together. And we don’t replicate the past. As we are coming out of damaged structures, we start again building what we need for the next 50 years and use the damaged structures for whatever they are good for. The speed boat analogy serves for getting done what needs to be done today – water, sewage, medicine, keeping people together – so we can start to rebuild as soon as we have caught our breath. Is it this bad – increasingly it looks that way. And I would ask, will this philsophy damage us if it is not this bad? My community site is beginning to hum BTW – so phase two now – keeping the momentum and adjusting it to feedback from the early adopters. I need to read through these and will do.
