    Incluye una tabla (Tabla 1, sección 2.6.2) que muestra un comparativo muy claro entra las presunciones de diferentes enfoques de planeación, uno de carácter tradicional y otro desde la perspectiva de sistemas adaptativos complejos. Otra forma de interpretar la tabla tiene que ver con los enfoques de "diseñar una comunidad" frente a "diseñar para comunidad". A priori, los enfoques más tradicionales (y que buscan un control más centralizado) suelen proponder por el diseño DE comunidad, olvidando (o ignorando?) que este proceso es mucho más 'orgánico'. Ahora, esto no quiere decir que iniciativas top-down no prosperen, sino que deben tener en cuenta en su diseño elementos de los sistemas adaptativos complejos.

gryc09 networks groups semana2

  • There comes a certain point where our group identity becomes more of a burden than a blessing.
  • In my books, that line is the line between reason and emotion. To put it most simply, groups are based on passion while networks are based on reason. Groups meet our need to belong and to survive, while networks meet our need to connect and learn and to know.
  • When we look at learning, therefore, and when we ask which model should prevail, the group model or the network model, we are asking fundamentally what the role of our educational system should be. Should it be to foster an emotional attachment to a group, be it a nation, religion, or system of wealth distribution?

  • We can no longer afford dogmatic tribalism. That is not to say we can no longer afford groups – we want to continue to have sports teams and families and friends. But in matters affecting economics and finance, environment, government and nations, we can no longer afford group-based tribalism.
  • It seems clear to me that in endeavours where we, as a society, would prefer reason to prevail over emotions, we should prefer to organize ourselves as networks rather than as groups. It seems additionally to be clear to me that education is probably one of the most critical areas where this needs to be the case, as it will be necessary for citizens of the future to be able to respond to an increasing set of global crises from a ground of reason, rather than emotional attachment to a group.
  • I want groups to continue to exist. I want that feeling of unrestrainedly shouting “Hort! Hort! Hort!” in a suburban field, of forming a bond with a group of friends, of feeling the strength and support of my community and my family. But not at any cost. Not at the cost groups, unrestrained, can inflict on the outcast. Not at the cost that indoctrination, practiced as a theory of learning, can inflict on a society and on a planet. Not at the cost the tribe mentality, as exercised in the schoolyard, can inflict on an individual.
