00:00 Re-introductions after a faulty start and how to watch and participate live.

01:50 Afew words from Flemming. Heidi asks how it all began for him. Early social platforms in the 90’s

03:44 Early successes and “failures”:  How do you get a group of people to work together voluntarily and successfully.

05:20 Heidi asks what he meant as new civilizationS?  The “fashions” of the 90’s.

07:00 Early overnight success but problems emerged; conflicting “visions” how to work together respectfully.with “boots on the ground.”

10:10 What is your vision, Flemming.  He explains. A bit of anarchy but with a bottom up thrust. Small and local scale so people understand the problems….and the solutions which has led to Conversational Experiments, his current activity.

15:00 He notes people are more mature and skillful in getting along with one another in groups, tolerating more diversity.

17:25 MAGIC! How do you encourage something new to emerge? Some techniques.

21:00 Not trying too hard, let the new come on its own. Getting out of the way.

22:56 How do we move forward when nearly all of us are doers  instead of “allowers”?  What about those who can’t? “How to deal with sociopaths?” Small groups where we trust each other and can deal with pathology at close quarters as it arises. Village model which can be resistant to change…but also is very resistant to assholes! Flemming expands.
33:50 Inspiring leaders? Positive manipulation? Growing oneself first!

37:30 How to actually have some effect upon people, not just go on to another show “next week”?  We have more effect than we know!  Evidence of effects!

42:10 Yes, we do just keep doing it!  What is that pull?  What is the “field”?

46:13 what could you not have conceived of happening 20 years ago that have emerged because of your ongoing and persistent efforts, Flemming? He replies that he probably  couldn’t have foreseen how much that he had to change rather than insisting that the world change.” Nice comment from a watcher. Nice feedback!  But do it for yourself!
54:10  Starting to conclude with takeaways, look for Flemming’s “Conversational Experiments” on Facebook. Mark’s resistance to joining that show.
