To quote myself on collaboration and identity:

"These two forces are two sides of a coin. In human societies we call it being #progressive and being #conservative. Identities are necessary to give permanence to shapes, and the ability to endure opposing forces. Collaboration is required to settle places where nothing had settled before. Collaboration needs tried and trusted functions to carry out its undertakings. Identity needs collaboration to not become obsolete in the constant ebbs and tides of changing environments."

These forcess need to be in balance. When they are, they complement each other.
