What this means
Looseness tends to create crawling space Openings for new ideas – less resistance
Resiliency implies a condition toward stability (often associated with control and structure). Resiliency might actually require loosening Democratized wealth for stabilizing communities Democratized power for learning and working out interests
Social Entrepreneurship and Bricolage is capable of leveraging resources across a diverse set of loosely connected networks to create the conditions of a high resource initiative within a low resource context. Anchors institutions tell part of the story (flashlight in a cave) Shedding light on societal doxa to see what is around (lantern in a cave)
It is accomplished as loose change – informal processes involving networks and reduced executive power (governance), diplomacy (politics/enabling), imagination (new ideas)
