I think this is the wrong analogy... The parable seems to say that if you spread your seeds across many areas, it's bound to grow somewhere. That would be a good analogy if the post was actually about spreading ideas in as many bubbles as possible and hoping one bubble picks it up. The post is actually about making 1 idea of high enough quality and insight such that it can be transferred from one bubble (yours) to the next by the "edges". So you'd have to find a parable that speaks of getting a good seed and planting it in your garden, in the hopes that the flower that grows from it spreads its seeds to your neighbors!
