a city of dreams (2)

17 in conversations

For hundreds of years scarcity and competition appeared to be the only ways of advancing and succeeding.

Today, abundance and cooperation through connection are how to move forward.

A city of dreamers is about the latter: skills and passions and experiences.

Such a city epitomises the infinite game: a game includes as many as possible for as long as possible, and when these things are threatened, changes the rules.

What the dreamers discover in the city is, the connecting and openness leads to more, not fewer, ideas.  They are generative places because they are filled with increasingly generative people.

None of this just happens.  You can’t walk into a city and all this connection and creation just happens.

It comes through the hard slog and sweat of opening up our minds to perspectives and ideas which are strange or alien to us, opening our hearts to people who are unlike us or we don’t instantly spark with, and. opening our wills to take the most frightening journey: from thinking about something to doing something.

A city of dreams does not exist apart from these three taking place.
