Affinity networks should be intentional and freeing in the way they inspire their participants to explore and create in a way that is personalized to them.

These case studies reinforce how important it is to create environments for humans to create and explore on their own without explicit instruction https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=1531578 https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=1531578 Mon, 23 Nov 2020 18:16:28 -0500 I don't feel that there are many affinity networks as impactful as Minecraft.
