The forums are great and help us to pool our resources here at Mirai. However, how about Mirai members meeting up out there in the real world? So we could practice bonsai outside of the bubble of the Internet.
I’m thinking along the lines of:
Mirai Live watch events
Study groups
Meet and greet
Identifying each other at conventions
I see Synergy as the next logical step for Appreciators, Masters, and Innovators. The Synergy forum would only be viewable if you have a paid subscription to Mirai Live.
We could even have t-shirts to recognize each other in pubic!
hello@billsbayou, have you managed to create that synergy forum?
btw, some additional definitions that we can expand to bonsai community:collective intelligence : A shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and communication between individuals in groups and other collective living systems.
SYNERGY: Ability of a group to produce a better result than if each person with the group were working toward the same goal individually
Requires an exchange of energy in addition to an exchange of information in order to produce a result that includes and extends the capabilities of the contributing individuals.
Synergy is one of the component to build collective intelligence. Integrating virtual and"real world" synergy is what would make the Mirai Forum different from other forum in the future: a digital bonsai ecosystem based on collective intelligence @Sam
