“In a network: content, conversations, context, contextual intelligence.”

Catgifs, selfies, opinion and content marketing makes up the carrier wave of the digital part of our transition, while more or less serendipituous meetings over a cup of coffee, makes up the analog part.

meetings over a cup of coffee

A transition away from what, through what, enabled by what, towards what? This is what we are talking about, in our conversations that mind and matter.

“These networked systems represent a new form of organization that seems aligned with the emerging context of the information and knowledge age and a more distributed world that many wish for. But this shift from one sociopolitical paradigm to another — from one basin of attraction to another — will be a hugely disruptive one as it plays out along many dimensions in the coming decades, with many surprises in store for us. The question remains open though as to how do we bridge the gap between Industrial Age institutions of governance and these new forms of network organizations that are relevant to a world of complex systems?”

The language part of the transition, includes a shift from sociopolitical paradigm, to planet, people and play.

renewal, contentment, denial, confusion, renewal

From representation, from analysing the game from the sideline, to enactment, to immersion, to engaging in finite and infinite play.

Content?
Yes. In a tribe, we do ritual, word turned flesh. Institutions are texts, producing texts. Markets are contracts, agreements and our gaming these written and unwritten social paradigms. Networks are people, planet and play.

content, conversations, context, contextual intelligence

A regenerativity including tribal, institutional and market allegiance, in ways that moves us beyond, beyond contentment, beyond comfort zones, into places of trust, places where we rediscover movement.

Contentment?
Yes. Renewal, contentment, denial, confusion, renewal. Denial increasingly more alive, healthy boundaries, co-evolving with ecosystems, with Gaia.
