I think we need *both* the organisations in place that teach people like Shiv and Kincade and Sanquez - and Calliope and Vagary, and Mallory, how to deal better *and* rules that when they get crossed you get invited to work someplace else - or perp-walked like Warden Daley if you cross them badly enough. (See also Travis Kalanick, who didn't get perp-walked but did get sued...)
That's a good idea, though. I'm not sure *how* to get a big melting pot of folks together in a reasonably safe space and show them how to live together... but I know *where*. University towns. Both big ones (Seattle, Boston, NYC, the Georgetown section of DC) but also small ones... your own Urbana-Champaign; Clemson, SC; College Station, TX; Moscow, ID... that last one may be tougher than usual, but... the combination of education (and the resulting openness to diversity), the extra brainpower, and the nimbleness of young minds can more than likely come up with the right ideas where this aging ex-goody-two-shoes isn't coming up with the ideas...
Something tells me music is the right approach, but... never was much good at design.
