Hi Venessa,
The four principles of intentcasting are golden. I'm going to recast my PeerPoint proposal that way as soon as that really sinks in.
Your mission statement ("Building culture and communities of practice in service of collaboration, continuous learning, and mutual improvement.") together with a meme from another of your posts, "The Rise of Culture Tech", resonates with my long standing obsession with what I call "experimental micro-cultures". I came of age in the 60's and ever since I've been fascinated with counter-cultures, social movements, communes & intentional communities, etc. and I have imagined the kinds of groups, communities, and micro-cultures I might delight and thrive in.
D H Lawrence wrote, "[Human beings] are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose."
How can we be active in fulfilling an unrealized purpose? I think it's the difference between a preconceived utopia and and experimental micro-culture.
Recently I wrote a half fiction, half non-fiction short story about a university community dedicated to a combination of Jeffersonian ideals and what I call "bio-cognitve research and development." There is lots of culture tech in service of collaboration, continuous learning, and mutual improvement. My half physical, half virtual university town is called xTopia. I won't call it art, but I think you might get a kick out of it anyway. And I'd definitely get a kick out of your feedback.
Warm Regards,
Poor Richard
