Myles Badger: Every egregore works like this: when enough people invest enough effort in a shared symbolic system, that system will start to take on a life of its own and develop an internal logic that no single contributor can fully control. It will also begin to exert a pull beyond the efforts of those contributors, who may begin to find themselves defending and advocating for the system without consciously choosing to do so. The strongest systems outlive even their most influential individual adherents.
