3 degrees & human evolution: changing the world?
Some points to consider, before I go ahead:
- We’re all networked somehow: 3 degrees of separation theory
- You tend to be influenced by the people who surround you most of the times/ you spend most time with
So, there’s you — your friends — their friends and — their friends! You are influencing them and they are influencing you through this network.
Imagine: This network as a linked carrier, with the potential to carry anything through it. Anything that the human brain can think of or imagine.
How about, expertise, social references, rewards?
Lets say this channel could be leveraged by people around the world to share their expertise and social references for others who are doing interesting things in life and collaboratively the wisdom of crowds makes this world a better place?!
Human evolution: collaboration of a different nature
5 years back, who would have imagined random people around the world funding other random people who they would have never met all their life? Thanks to Kickstarter its a reality today.
If its a reality, then there is no physical limitation to collaboration today!
If I get to discover someone out there (anywhere) doing something which interests me/ or/ inspires me, I should be able to reach out and collaborate to make it happen.
No friend requests, no friction. My interests and people around the world who are doing amazing stuff. I become part of global teams and change the world!
3 degrees of network + frictionless collaboration = change the world
Based on the above realities, here’s an experiment: hashtaag!
Once you check it out, answer this question: what’s that un-explored passion project you have, which you would like to collaborate with the world on?
