Dear Peers,
The creative cascade of five individual threads (then a later sixth), layering in increments to build an ocean of ideas, yet commencing with initial a) introductions, then b) response to the framing question, then c) reactions to one another’s responses, then d) dancing to one another’s chords, re-tuning certain notes to create harmonic resonance in a musical murmuration within a metaphorically intraconnected, rhizome-rich forest of shared thought…
Was a well facilitated encapsulation of the work we are inspired by and compelled to share…
Thank you.
I have watched and enjoyed this in all its synergistic diversity, with the unified appreciation of peers facilitating toward a cooperative future.
Much respect,
Paul Bishop

Many thanks for this excellent conversation on the challenges of collaboration. It relates to the theme of a book project I am working on “Experiencing the beauty of collaboration at human scale : Timeless patterns of human limitations” https://jornbettin.com/2019/04/27/experiencing-the-beauty-of-collaboration-at-human-scale/ (my conclusions regarding collaboration are very much consistent with what Matthew Schutte is describing), as well as this article on the potential of autistic people as translators between very different cultures and as arbitrators between stakeholders with competing interests https://autcollab.org/2019/05/16/beyond-peak-human-standardisation/ and and this call for action towards de-growth and deep adaptation at human scale https://ciic.s23m.com/2019/05/14/aiming-for-continuous-de-growth/.
