The Network: enemy of entropy

[Prompt: An organization for which recruiting or proselytizing is important]   The Network lives on one principle: Energy flow is everything. Their next principle: that Information spread is our greatest chance at keeping energy flowing. They seek to have and share as much knowledge as they can possibly touch. And how do you maximize your learning reach? You get more nodes. You increase your surface area. You make the net loose and wide and energetic, let its nodes bump together often, so the energy gradient is high and flow is smooth.   These are the fundamental truths and values underpinning everything The Network does.   Now, here is what it does.   The Network learns. Every node is an occu-obsessive scholar, dedicating time, energy, and matter to learning deep and wide -- everything e can in areas of interest. The Network shares. Nodes go online at least daily, "uploading" their knowledge in the ways they deem most effective for understanding (that is, True Learning). Some create presentations and collations of knowledge highlights, while others opt to simply pass on as much as possible. Contribute and teach whatever can, in the manner that keeps your energy highest. Then, dive back into learning for more.   The Network shares. Nodes are charged with spending time in the world, if only to keep touch with it and its lonely members. Share your knowledge and brighten your eyes; one of the few approved surgeries consists of getting reflective material or actual lamps installed in the eyes, to enhance the message of knowledge's light. These nights, will o' the wisps hover in twos.   The Network snares. On lucky occasion, a human-in-isolate will see the glow, hear the message, and get the Hunger for Enlightenment. Those are the best times, for a new Node is in bud. Catch hold of him by heart and hand, by any means successful, and lead them straight away to the White Wood. Do not hesitate, for the Hunger burns bright and hot, but not often long. You must enfold them before the shadows of Fear and Self creep back in to take him away.   Once your bud is safely in the White Wood, nestled in a venus pod, you may exhale. He is past the chasm. He will join us. The Network grows. And, as we learn how to best exchange and recruit and grow, we will gain more Nodes, faster. We will encompass the world, the stars, the expanding universe.   With enough Nodes, we know, we know, we will learn the secret against entropy, and keep the energy flowing into infinity.
