I wonder if the emergent networks that naturally happen scale around power, both social power and energetic energy per unit time power. And what you're talking about is a more democratic way of creating a network with your seven metrics. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just speculating. You know, I think you build a network to shift who's got power and the shift, who's got access to leadership. If we have done work in the past and stopped because nobody was the people who wanted to build the network, we're not really interested in having new voices and new people lead new initiatives within the network. They want what they wanted was a following. They wanted a broadcast.
On this episode, Nate is joined by Marty Kearns, a civic organizer and networking specialist. He and Marty discuss why both networks and communities will be critical to the coming challenges we face. How will the social ties we form now influence the outcome of power, peace and new social organization? How can we organize ourselves in order to best meet the future that is coming?
