“I agree with you that, given something resembling trustworthy intelligence and motivation, a »very small group… could probably move the entire human planet right now. It’s as if the structure of humanity at the moment… is in a bizarre array of tipping points… all lined up for a tiny push…

… yet I do not know if I have it in me to understand precisely how to implement such a thing. Perhaps because it must, I think, be discovered… rather than declared…

… so I think that the group that explores this arises before any specific plan… or rather, that forging such a group is the plan.

And the purpose of the group is to play at discovering the accessible opportunities and vulnerabilities of structured fictions (in general), and actual, real-world situations (where they play at manipulating the structure and its roots) in which their understandings are tested and evolve…

Having achieved reliable success at small time/place scales… in other words having gone into actual contexts, successfully transformed them (and departed)… from there they would proceed to propagation (skill transfer to other similar groups)… and expansion of their capacity to act at scale, in the extended social and cultural environment.

I imagine an incredibly creative human intelligence unit. The improvisational, altruistic opposite of a highly trained criminal, medical or military team — that could capture techniques from these specializations… but redeploy them in ‘operations’ of radical altruism, education and liberation…”
