The
philosophic roots of this view make sense, but how do we resolve the
opposing tendencies of bottlenecks on one side and dispersion of ideas
on the other?
Instead of fixing a hole, or not doing something for fear of creating
new holes (or just for fear of holes in general), we 'apply good
faith' -- understanding how we can help others be helpful to...
others.
It's called "empowerment." I think. "Facilitation," maybe? Hm:
"The
facilitation of empowerment and the empowerment of facilitation?" Heh
- needs work.
I don't know if you understood my point. Good faith is not a factor
here since we assume it is present in both paths. In bottlenecks we get
people digging in their heels and defending certain perceptions of an
idea. Dispersion happens when someone abandons the bottlenecked sandbox
and starts his own brand-new sandbox; with enough of these it becomes
difficult for the new kid on the playground to choose which sandbox to
play in.
