the better world network

Posted on Aug 25th, 2006 by alina : visionista alina

Speaking of networks, they wouldn't matter so much to me if they didn't often act as a social market for pushing the most positive ideas to the forefront. Unlike the political process, which rewards those who game the system most effectively (think the lobbyist swarm), networks reward more than one person (i.e. the pie is not zero-sum) while allowing a large number of people (not just a political elite, namely those wishing to participate in the political system) to present, build upon, and develop their ideas or products.

Case in point: The Better World Network, sponsored by the Uplift Academy, shares videos and podcasts of their workshops, as well as interviews with luminaries like John Francis, author of Planetwalker. Enjoy Tom Munnecke's video interview with John Francis, or take the time to savor a little ditty  "The Output Outcome Downstream Impact Blues" written and performed by Terry Smutylo. Let the networks flourish.
