Here's what I want: a lab to experiment with these findings (https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-018-0078-7)in https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-018-0078-7)in a 3D colonies from the perspective of encoding various structures from human culture (particularly the community housing the lab) and seeing how the microbes address different perturbations. And then remodeling the community's culture based on whatever findings are uncovered to test the relationship between human and microbial cultures. Or remodel the cultural blueprint within some communal space to see how it works with the outside world. Or...I don't know. There are so many ways to play with culture in this way. We're tackling the question of where to live, too. I find it useful to identify my values & then to use that to filter my options. Choosing based on availability of resources tends to lead to all kinds of blindspots in my experience. We're also trying to figure out how the community model can work without moving and what the process looks like for building it out where anyone is. The approach I'm going for right now is to identify the exact spaces and ways of relating to them I want, creating an absurdly long organization name with all those words in the name, and a mission of "evolve the name" or something similar, short, and simple.
