What I am interested in is unexpected gatherings of people
who manage to tolerate working together to make surprising
things emerge from their unexpected coalitions. [. . .] Surprise
is an old human emotion. When employed for the purposes of
creating ⏤ not destroying ⏤ it can elicit energy, ideas and work.
