# Emergent Strategy URL : https://www.akpress.org/emergentstrategy.html Looks very interesting to me in that it appears to draw inspiration from [[emergence]] and some of the [[Evolutionary and adaptive systems]] stuff. > brown’s “emergent strategy” for activists revels not in conflict with corporate opponents but in apparitions of friendship in online threads and tips for weaving consensus process. > > – [[Vanguard Stacks: Self-Governing against Digital Colonialism]] Based on some of the ideas of [[Octavia E. Butler]]. ## Log ## [2021-07-17 Sat] Started reading Emergent Strategy yesterday. I found the writing style a bit - can't think of the word - loose, maybe? At first. More like it is a blog post than a book. Kind of like a journal. With use of CAPS in places, and punctuation like?! Maybe I'm just too used to some of these academic books. In a way it's kind of refreshing to have something a bit more personal rather than dry and dense. All that aside - the ideas are great. Absolutely spot on to my interests. Tying various complexity / evolutionary and adaptive stuff to social and [[Political organisation]]. Explicitly making the link. As well as [[Octavia Butler]] related stuff. > Octavia Butler / (amb) > > - All successful life is (Fractal) > - Adaptable, (Adaptive) > - Opportunistic, (Nonlinear/Iterative) > - Tenacious, (Resilient/Transformative Justice) > - Interconnected, and (Interdependent/Decentralized) > - Fecund.
