Human-to-human interaction protocols: a submission to 32C3 for a 30 min session

different angle…

… mmm, not really. I mean, what you say can be totally true, but where I am going with this is:

  • if it true that collaboration is the only way for the 99% to stay in the game ("all we have is each other");
  • it it is true that the concept of a network (like a computer network) is a good way to look at how collective intelligence of people working together is greater than the sum of the individual intelligences that compose it;

then it makes sense to look at what kind of individual behaviour gives rise to the best networks. From this premise, I propose a skeletal set of rules to do that. I guess you could apply to co-living too, but I am specifically looking at working together. Again, I stand firmly in the monastic tradition: monasteries are platforms for collaboration, and the collaboration is treasured because it allows monks to live in full their religion without going mad.
