[uymhoexd] Coordinating uncoordinated change

Many people, all wanting a specific kind of change each try to effect it in uncoordinated fashion.  Let's say they all fail.

This is OK if the failure, including the whole experience of steps leading up to it, is documented and shared.  Coordination can happen afterward in the sharing of experience, with allowing later attempts at change to learn from failed previous attempts.

Three non-obvious items: Failure is OK.  Resist the human-nature tendency to forget and bury one's failures.  Document carefully even if you think there's a high probability of failure.

Those who oppose change will attempt to thwart and suppress and censor information sharing.  To what extent are prisons a means of stopping information transfer about failures?
