			<description><![CDATA[The old Indian ritual of the wife throwing herself on her husband's funeral pyre is called sati, from the Sanskrit word sat, "to be". A woman performing this act is affirming her identity as a wife, in the context of her society. Those who disobey are known as asat, a "no thing". This view is precisely the opposite in the West, where someone who only lives by authority is called a square, "nobody there". (page 14)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Unlike all other creatures, humans are born too soon, and go through a very long period (15-20 years) of dependency. We are conditioned from birth to be dependent on authority, and have automatic responses that seek authority. However, at a certain point, society requires us to become responsible, to grow up in a hurry. In primitive societies, puberty rites effect a powerful psychological transformation that stamps the individual into the mold of society. In contrast, modern Western society seeks to develop critical thinking individuals. (page 11)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are 3 orders of mythology:
1. Affirmative: They embrace life on its own terms (early mythologies)
2. Negative: They renounce reality and seek escape, (e.g. Jainism around 8 BC)
3. Ameliorative: They seek to reshape life in the desired image, (starting with Zoroastrianism in 11 BC) - "You affirm the world on condition that it follows your notion of what the world should be." (page 4)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The functions of mythology are to:
1. Reconcile the consciousness to the realities (and horrors) of life
2. Present an image of the cosmos that explains our experiences
3. Validate and maintain a certain sociological system
4. Psychologically carry us through the stages of life, from birth to maturity to senility and death. (page 3)]]></description>

Flagship projects such as Linux and Open Office are essentially clones of other projects (GNU and Office), but which happen to be free. What is true though is that open source allows the creation of projects (e.g. Bit-torrent client Azureus, currently #1 on SourceForce) that would not be viable as a commercial enterprise (due to legal costs or lack of a revenue stream).

			<description><![CDATA[In business, the investment cost of producing anything creates a bias to "stick with it" even if substandard, if only to avoid admitting to a mistake. This further raises the cost of business. (page 249)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Open source threatens commercial software because it is out-failing them. Companies have an incentive to pick "safe" projects to pursue because the cost of failure outweighs the cost of passing on a success. However, the open source ecosystem does not have this asymmetry and can try riskier things. Moreover, unlike a company, the ecosystem does not have to spend resources evaluating the likelihood of projects before pursuing them. (page 245)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Linus Torvalds started Linux with a very casual post. The openness and lack of pretense in this post was essential in getting people involved quickly. The later adoption of the GPL also ensured that contributions would not be wasted even in the event of Linus's departure from the project. (page 238)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Meetup is successful at "discovering" successful groups like Stay-At-Home-Moms because it can tolerate a high number of failed groups, and allow resources to flow to the successful ones. The cost of trying is essentially zero. Its success is due to the high rate of trying. (page 235)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is why corporate communication sounds so bland and impersonal. True mass-personalization is severely limited by scale. One way to address this is to flip the problem around: Impose a strong culture and have your audience self-select and self-tune to it. (page 90)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is a fallacy to think that conversations can scale to the level of broadcast media. Once a person or entity becomes famous, they by definition have more inbound views than they can possibly respond personally to. This is a social, and not just a technological, limitation.

			<description><![CDATA[Much of the user content on the web is posted publicly, but really meant for a small select group. Because we are heretofore unused to seeing public content that isn't addressed towards us (as in advertising or traditional media), much of this looks like drivel to us. (page 85)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Although equipped with smaller guns and lighter armor than their French counterparts, the German Panzer tanks successfully carried out the blitzkrieg with the help of radios. Their new strategy, enabled with radios, made the Panzers a coordinated, nimble force vs. the French Char B's which were used as soldier support platforms. (page 172)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Bonding capital" is the deepening of connections within a group. "Bridging capital" is the broadening of connections between groups. A focus on only the former and not the latter can lead to exclusivity or even an echo chamber effect, as happened in the 2004 Howard Dean presidential campaign. (page 222)]]></description>
