>> "Higher could become the first public, data-driven, evolving network state with an inherent ambitous culture, drive towards fulfilment, self-actualization and success for individuals, the shared brand & network but no [clear path, endgoal]"
Can this be successful? Why would one join or even contribute?
I think structureless in an early stage project is relatively hopeless. At least, you need some leaders that create value, steer the community or fire it up community - but the good news is: You can have/measure success in many ways & most startups win by iterating and doubling down on things with pmf. So, why not make this the DNA - while giving the organism & its stakeholders a few more tools & resources to organize, grow, cross paths & remain closely connected to the core? 1 reply

>> I'm always coming back to leaderboards & scoreboards which are fun AND powerful for individuals, friends, groups - and maybe even more for a network - to learn which initiatives, stakeholders are doing well, bring in more people, where I, we, all should/could focus on more to win - whatever that means to each of us. 0 reply
