A proposed scenario (related to Mark Frazier's answer to What conditions favor the emergence of scenius? ) on how a Scenius could emerge online.

What is “scenius”?? It is the collective form of genius. Coined by musical savant Brian Eno, it refers to his discovery that genius doesn’t simply arise in extraordinary individuals but geniuses emerge out of vibrant, cutting edge “scenes” or cultural niches where a group of people, often crossing disciplines and areas of expertise, are pushing into something new and rewarding each other for taking risks and challenging the status quo. Think: the Beats, Xerox PARC, women’s consciousness raising in the 60s, the 19th C. Transcendentalists… There are examples of scenius in the arts, philosophy, science and technology across all cultures and over the last several hundred years of human history.
