Wonderful post...I was in a similar community to EA with lots of local chapters meeting all over and online forums...and we found this friendship thing happening that was both personally fulfilling and also led to new things being created, exactly as you’ve posted here, and we coined the term, “Generative Friendship” to describe it. It’s a real genuine friendship, but also generates something good in the world. I’ve always loved this term.
