“I might be understood to here suggest a kind of inverse ambush-predator. A person who appears to blend in perfectly, wherever they may be — but who has developed the intelligence and relational assets to both increase their available domains of liberty while at the same time liberating, healing, or rescuing others… and amongst these others, some new prodigies would naturally arise… and the tradition would evolve with the generations… while remaining without any guiding story, text, leader, dogma, or structure.
One imagines a loosely-knit, voluntary comm-network which functions as a societal underlay. A self-extending library of relational immune system elements whose expert agents are all volunteers. A network of ‘instant heroes’ who, without name or face or allegiance to any organization or group, are constantly active both developing cutting-edge modes of relational intelligence, and lifting others from the position of prey, to that of agency.
Or perhaps even a kind of ‘alternate reality game’ in which the game overcomes the play and begins to transform what it means to be human… back into something more like being human again.”
