"In a network, we adopt practices making for connectivity - and we adapt, over time, to the impact of the distilled, meaningful connectivity."

We're adopting this here digital (meaningful) connectivity very slowly. Still, maybe that is a good thing - setting up a robust, dead simple signalling protocol to begin with? One mostly consisting of catgifs, pithy quotes on pretty pictures, strong opinion "there's someone wrong out there and here's why", selfies, content marketing. A crude signalling - yet it is a start.

A start of what? How, what, why and whereto?

Possibly - through the cognitive impact of all our sharing, a beginning alignment between analog self and digital self - possibly including social (digitally augmented and scaled) learning - possibly including the first glimpses of analog/digital presence, presencing, new forms of enactive intersubjectivity?

"A good digital community, is full of participants holding space for good questions to emerge, out of which small steps informed by practical, actionable wisdom."
-- John Kellden

Inbetween these two positions, a creative tension, out of which participatory sensemaking.
