super info super guy...

i just read the mesh by lisa gansky.
while i know places like architectureforhumanity have benefited from cc... all the way through rod's video i couldn't stop asking - is this the mesh - is this really sharing. there are so many rules.

i wish my mind didn't always go so utopian. because i know incredible people love cc. i wish i could just live in that world.
but my head takes me to this: if we trusted more - and truly shared more... time on all these rules and finding out who used what would not be necessary.

i spent one day this week at our ad building. and i had to keep asking... all the space and all the things in the building and all the incredible people in the building... why... why are they doing all that they do.
not just there - everywhere.
how much of what we spend tons of time on is because we don't trust people, so we create rules to make us all more orderly... and then rules are broken - so we need more rules.. we've got so many hyperlinks of rules for everything. people spend there days working on rules/guidelines/management...

i wish we could just let people do things and share. and when someone messes up... we call them on it.
