** My Intellectual Flakes **

Stephen has some distinguish network from community:

Groups require unity, networks require diversity. Groups require
coherence, networks require autonomy. Groups require privacy or
segregation, networks require openness. Groups require focus of voice,
networks require interaction. The group I am with right now is very
intent on being a group. That doesn’t interest me. I have no wish to
lose my identity and my freedom, my empowerment. Because a group is
subject to this very objection – backlash, groupthink, the works. But a
network is not.”
