I think this post is even more required reading. "A big evolutionary experiment in community formation" may just as easily produce monsters as any desirable sort of "stronger communities". In fact, maybe it's doing that already. (Thanks to Eugine_Nier for that link, and see more from that writer on the subject here.)

Or perhaps no evolutions for corporations or nanodevices. "Evolutionary" metaphors should be strictly secondary to substantive arguments regarding the direction of some community.
