“They have discovered a game with the power to so dramatically and beautifully affect the relational context in such a way that the ordinary modes of dominant culture and authority break down in its proximity and cannot maintain coherent function.

Coupled with their inspired creativity and agreement, the beauty and nobility of their goals potentiates a process that breeds relational and intellectual prodigy within the group. This mode of relation is exciting and contagious. Leveraging features of what is sometimes described as an accelerated learning-trance, the group produces an ‘act’ in response to, for example, some longstanding injustice or malevolence. These ‘acts’ are so moving, inspired, powerful and beautiful that the entire context of the problem is transformed ‘under its feet’… and the resulting revolutionary insight is simply too profound and contagious to ignore.

Thus it is that what appears to be an offshoot of common children’s games is carrying us to the brink of an unforeseen cascade of tiny revolutions whose collective weight and power are about to force human development into a leapfrog sequence of unforeseeable advancement.

It turns our most of our intelligence was hidden in forms of cooperation we forgot to sustain beyond childhood, and the advanced versions of these forms produce powers of understanding and ability that make our wildest hopes seem timid in comparison.

The future of democracy is being rewritten in a liquid form of heroic inter-being. It rides on the back of small, tightly-knit groups who arise to give answer, succeed, and depart before they can be named or known. Ordinary people have become secret heroes in aid of purposes of great meaning and beauty. By the thousands. And the simple fact is this: they want more, and more want in.”
