Don’t worry about being critical. Good discussions are always welcome 
You say pyramid models are top-down… I disagree: did someone ever build a pyramid top-down? That will be quite unwieldy 
No, the opposite applies here. Pyramids need solid foundations, or they are unstable. From the model perspective the pyramids are like Maslow’s Pyramid of Needs: You need to get the foundation right to allow the next level to be firmly defined.
In the case of Wellbeing (health, harmony, happiness) this entails personal mental + physical health, then inter-personal social interaction, which then leads to the top-level where you can work on being happy in the digital realm. For Society (access, protection, safety) there needs to be inclusion first with equality in access to online services, regulation to ensure that, and then you come to the top-level where you feel safe while interacting on the internet.
From the storytelling perspective it goes like this (I wrote this down somewhere before): Yes, the pyramids of old used to be built for powerful Faraoh’s who commandeered slaves to do the work. This time it is we - the people - who’ll build the pyarmids. These pyramids are works of humanity. We HTC are just one grassroots, bottom-up pyramid-building team that now help to lay the foundation. There are still Faraoh’s (tech billionaires), but we reject their help. It is a people’s effort. Our community is leaderless, because we are all leaders.
While built by Faraoh’s and slaves the Pyramids in Egypt are considered among the Wonders of the World. Ours ‘digital world’ pyramids will be too, and even more so, because no faraoh’s, no slaves, but concerted human effort and cooperation.
You can take the storytelling as far as you want (e.g. “the camp fires along the pyramids base, where the builder teams sing, make music and tell stories” —> face-to-face interation promoted). In my pyramid notes I also hinted there could be ‘Evil twins’ of each of the positive Pyramids. These pyramids are also built in parallel, just not by us. The evil twins will be realized if we do nothing, do not act to eradicate the Harms of Technology.
I don’t suggest we use all this storytelling. But we could. But is should be in measured ways, and always with evolution of the actual pyramid framework - the model and methodologies - in mind (hence ‘gamification’, which means ‘serious games’).
I really like the Bucky’s thinking. Thank you. The geodesic dome is a wonderful analogy. It is a dome of protection. We can work with that. And “Total success for all without disadvantaging any” is a great principle.
For now I suggest we stick with the serious, non-storytelling, design and eloboration of 1) first the current category breakdown and 2) the pyramids model itself. Then - as we planned to do after forum and website reorg - start to give body to some storytelling aspects as part of the Eventful campaign
