}}One way of deriving a group is from how people answer a specific set of questions. Even if the "members" of such a group don't appear on any list, are not stored anywhere or never communicated their answers to anyone, the group still exists in a certain sense if it exhibits the potential for action. Here at Organic Design we call this kind of "non-explicit" group an organic group, as distinct from a trust group which is one whose members are known to one another.

One such question is, if you were performing a particular task, would you like to know if anyone anywhere else performing the same task had a better way of doing it? Another related question is, would you like to live in a world where all such "best ways" were made openly accessible to and easily understandable by everyone? An overwhelming majority would answer "yes" to the first question. The second though is one that many people would think about more deeply before answering and may answer "no".

The people who share the common vision we talk about here at Organic Design are those that answer "yes" to both of the previous questions. We don't know how many people that is, but judging from the popularity of the free software movement and other similar projects, we can be very sure that even if it's not a global majority it's certainly hundreds of millions of people world-wide!

That's an enormous potential for action, but how does an organic group like this begin to achieve anything together? We believe the answer lies in alignment...


Help stop illegal plunder in Libya!

There are definitely two sides to this story about Giddafi and the reasons for the NATO attack Libya - and one of these sides has been caught out lying many, many times before. After looking a bit more into the nature of this war it started to seem more and more like deja vu. Giddafi's real "crime" is an economic one - that of not playing into the hands on the global financial elite.

He wrote a book called "The Green Book" which all the citizens were advised to read and study so they could understand the principles of what a free nation and true democracy really is. It's not communism or Islamic dogma, it's just good simple common sense written in terms that anyone can understand. It's about empowering people by giving them the ability to create and maintain independence in a peaceful society together for themselves. (read more...)
