No person or organization is pulling the strings. That’s what MHB is all<br />

about; hive mind works without any observable decision-making on any<br />

level.<br />

Black Osiris: Time to start spreading us a little pollen, ain’ that right<br />

boys ’n girls?<br />

Anne: Pollen?<br />

Leri: That’s how we look at spreading memes.<br />

Crazy Fingers: Viral marketing.<br />

Anne: Memes?<br />

Black Osiris: Bees help big flowers make little flowers, Anne. A<br />

meme’s a… thought-language pattern, a contagious one.<br />

Leri: (READING FROM DICTIONARY) “A unit of cultural<br />

information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted<br />

verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.”<br />

Anne: Like… “mother hive brain,” or “I am America’s favorite soft<br />

drink,” or “I am the monkey flower, pollinate me,” or “I am a<br />

neurosurgeon,” or…<br />

Black Osiris: So like I was saying about d’ bees…<br />

Leri: (CUTTING HIM OFF) They have no vested interest in the<br />

spreading of pollen. It’s just an accident that flowers capitalize on. It<br />

allows them to reproduce.<br />

Black Osiris: Yeah, yeah! Gettin’ wu wei with that shit. If I’m really<br />

doing things right, I’m doin’ them effortless.<br />

Crazy Fingers: I was watching Muhammed Ali box today. He looked<br />

almost careless to an untrained eye. But he tore Holyfield apart, or more<br />

accurately, pecked at him until he made himself fall apart.<br />

Leri: That’s why Bruce Lee was so impressed with him.<br />

Black Osiris: So ya see, If I’m operatin’ effortless, dialed up the<br />

morphone see, then I’m really spreadin’ pollen.<br />

Rachelle: There’s a saying in the Hopi tradition… when you’re acting<br />

effortlessly like that, you’re “on the pollen path.”<br />

Leri: In fact I don’t think our message would make sense without<br />

recognizing that. We spread the Word without knowing what it is. We<br />

are the fingers of an invisible hand.<br />
