People's brains are more responsive to friends than to strangers, even if the stranger has more in common, according to a study in the Oct. 13 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience.
"In all experiments, closeness but not similarity appeared to drive responses in medial prefrontal regions and associated regions throughout the brain," Krienen said. "The results suggest social closeness is more important than shared beliefs when evaluating others."

We're moving into a collaborative, fluid world, like schools of fish that change direction almost instantaneously, so too future human cultures, it appears.

Interesting research confirming that small, interdependent groups, wherein everything was shared (including sex, partners, possessions) was once practiced, widespread.
Seems quite sensible. Raises the question: how much do we constrain our natural creative urges, due to religious or cultural strictures?

Many good ideas and quotes (of Fons Trompenaars) regarding creativity.
Basically, the article recognises the challenge all creatives face (writers, musicians, entrepreneurs), in that being the underdog fuels creativity, but achieving success then requires 'reinvention'. Smith reports: "If you don't act consciously on reinventing yourself, then I am pretty sure you will the die," Trompenaars says. "But there are companies that are huge trailing and still reinvent themselves can from time to time, like says IBM and prevent HP."

Article ""A New Era of Meaning", by Tim Leberecht, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, frog design :
"The future of business may indeed be social. Dion Hinchcliffe came up with “12 Rules for Bringing ’Social’ to Your Business,” and the Dachis Group, which calls itself “the first social business firm,” has developed a “social business design framework” for “understanding and applying social constructs to business.” Social business design is “a mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive way of considering how a corporation, business unit, or project can create and capture value from today’s emerging technologies and evolving operating environment.”
