Focusing on emergence is a way of finding these outliers.

No @Dan what I meant was focusing on the level of emergence is "wrong" because it's like saying "I want innovation". Innovation is the end result, the mushroom that pop up. If you want mushrooms, the best way is the think wider about the conditions in which fungus thrives, and support that, because we know thriving fungus tend to put mushrooms up. I'm saying _go deeper, and invest in systems which are doing good, which have the hallmarks of a healthy fungus forest"

One of the conversations I had at #enspiral-summer-fest-2019 was about starting an open list of networks that are somewhat aligned and publishing it on a website.

I'm not so interested in these things (though I encourage you to experiment). Pesonally I believe in human-based routing, so I'm more excited about lifting up the pattern of "let's grab lunch and talk about what matters", because for me / my mind, I can see ridiculously far after 4 such lunches. It's actually a lot like epidemic-broadcast-trees, but meat-space.

@mix Its awesome to see you getting pumped up about this work.

I'm not getting pumped on this, I've been pumped on this beat for years! Similar to @rich's "I don't know if it's obvious, but the last 2 years have been all about this...". It could be that talking about what we care about and our theories of change is just a new and exciting cross link that's not happened to date, and it's generating some fruitful conversation.
