Now for early subscribers we are in a real complex system experiment.

Everyone is faced with the decision to whether take the free offer but risking the newsletter go non-free if the number of subscribers reach a critical mass of 4000 or not taking the free offer with the hope that the newsletter stays free long term.

We'll see which binary outcome emerges from this experiment.

I don't know if I have to hope for a massive coordinated behavior to avoid to reach the critical mass (sign of a huge involvement of the community) or not.

Anyway, note that all new content will always be 100% free for 10 weeks in the blog, and you always receive, for free, the posts in your mailbox. forever, in practice. The true complex systems experiment is at another level, and I am curious about the outcome too. Let's see.
