An apparently counter productive behaviour is : instead of focusing on the collec-
tive focal point, it is to spend time arguing with each other, making stronger bonds
between each other (marriage) or competing. It is in fact very productive. The
density and variety of social thread is social cohesion. The denser the network,
the faster information circulates, the more efficient the group.</Cesar>
 
<Jesse>I think for example the open source principle is an interesting way of
looking at it, but I say lets apply open source also to our relationships, gender
identity, self identity, sexual identity and sexual relations. Everything would be a
bit more fluid.</Jesse> <Cesar> Individual multiplying identities creates layers
of connections and enable individuals to participate simultaneously to even more
groups.
But all social threads are not threads of friendship exclusively, most of them are
simultaneously conducting a spirit of competition.</Cesar>

<Cesar>Together and against each other</Cesar>
<Nina>The Olympics...</Nina>
<Cesar>I love the opening ceremony : everybody’s happy, there is no winner, no
looser yet, many flags, nice colours... That should be enough! Why do they have
to compete madly the day after?</Cesar>
