I really like the examples the Netherlands has been setting for the world. They have some of the highest per-capita use of wind and hydro-electric power, humane treatement of prisoners, no death sentences, affordable education for all, public healthcare, anti-discrimination laws for gays and women, and legalized drug use and GUESS WHAT AMERICAN CONSERVATIVES!
They're a prosperous nation, they have very little crime, far lower rates of drug addiction than the US, almost no teen pregnancies, and the devil hasn't bubbled up out of the ground and swallowed them all. GEE WHIZ!
But I think what I really liked about this article was that I was thinking about it in conjunction with my thoughts about how to create better animation in a way that's similar to linux open-source. In the past, I've thought about the rules that would need to be established and the organizational structure that would need to be put in place to make it work and I've not come up with any successful ideas. But if I go in the other direction and use the naked intersection and open source as an example, I think I start getting somewhere really really interesting. Yes, there still has to be a way to organize it all but I think I almost understand how to make that organization transparent to the creative talents. It's a way off organizing and stimulating people without any kind of imposed rule system, just a means for communication.
I've got several pages of this idea written down from some brainstorming earlier but I ran into a snag in how to link up two stages so I need to think about it some more.
