  1. Even in the major cities, small groups of like-minded individuals with common goals are a good way to work. My best work has been in this kind of setting. People who respect each other sitting around a table. Sometimes even disagreements can produce the best ideas. That kind of an environment will often spark my own thinking in ways that would not have happened if I were working independently.

  2. I am a retired urban planner. I did not articulate my point well. After doing a lot of work on consensus and also mediation, I think that a consensus is not always a good or implementable policy. It can be. Often what is paraded out as a consensus is actually not. ((Unsurprising when you look at who is running the process and why.) A successful consensus starts with all the cards on the table and everyone with the same access to information. Everyone walks away from the table a and a little unhappy, but they get something out of it. If someone cares deeply and remains disgruntled, they will come back and try to mess up the "consensus.". This was a bit rambling. A consensus is useful, but not without its flaws.

  3. Seven months and some reading later, the more I learn about Jung, the more brilliant he seems. I doubt that many men have had such genius. Your channel has steered my thinking in some beneficial directions. Thank you.

  4. If you are correct, It may have to be a big one. I have seen cataclysm to little effect. This seems an oxymoron, but we have this odd capacity for avoidance.

  5. You appear to be attempting to get someone to think about sex.

  6. In planning, we adopt a naieve approach at the outset. The first step is always "define the problem." It sounds simplistic, but slowing down the process at the beginning can sometimes have a big payoff later (in policy development). If the one facilitating listens carefully. she will begin to have ideas of what to expect from whom. Opportunities can emerge.

  7. Perhaps this sort of thing happened because she was on to the fact that you would burn her at stake.

  8. You might have fared better if you hadn't called her a witch from the outset. You may leave out that she once did say yes failed to show up. Then turned into Brief Interviews with Horrible Men and suggested that she is probably a witch anyway. A woman may not view "You can meet me" as an amorous advance. Your amorous feelings seem more for yourself.

  9. I agree with you. A side note: You are thinking of Christianity and Islam, I think. The separateness of mind and body is not as big in some eastern religions. Most religions threw in some law and order and survival components in addition to God's will, for good measure. In Islam and Christianity, this was done in a patriarchal way, so it's the separation of mind and body with the women receiving the harsher punishments. (God may have done that too when he came up with childbirth, but this is an event of short duration.) In any case, I agree with you.

  10. You keep me on my toes, Marcello Lanza. Now I need to learn who Whitehead is.

  11. The quote makes more sense to me if it is spirituality.

  12. I hope that you are correct and that people choose the right things. This would have to occur on an individual level. It seems like it could. An example might be that there are some 42 million black people in the States. There would be a lot of influence in politically considered buying choices.

  13. What are they? Are there commonalities in governance for times we have flourished?

  14. I am neither an introvert or an extrovert by nature scoring close to the middle of some likely bogus test. I have functioned happily as both, depending on what the situation called for.

  15. I like your concept of God. The quality of your life seems robust, compared to a hikikomori.

  16. I am not sure what this has to do with atheism or religion. Paedophilia is wrong because it victimises an innocent child in ways that are psychologically damaging to development. This taboo is fairly universal between cultures.

  17. I like "This gestalt of nature is incorruptible." It is possible to live a life of quiet desperation outdoors, though.

  18. I may not mean this in a bad way, how do I know? You sound like a physicist. What the hell does this mean? Sometimes I think, as I am listening to a physicist that I might understand if only they used different words or something. Maybe I wouldn't. Experience is our perception. We can perceive things that do and things that do not happen.

  19. Hayden. In my opinion, the London Symphony is as good as anything by Mozart or Beethoven.

  20. What is a "foreskin god", I scream?

  21. Thanks for your patience, I scream. You may have been casting a wider net than just your target audience.

  22. Did you make up hyper-individualization?

  23. I do the same thing.

  24. Sometimes the process of a group like this can be productive even if a consensus is not reached.

  25. This is always the case. They will work toward a common goal if they see potential for some legitimate benefit. Existing conditioners and trends can sometimes get them on the same page.

  26. Thank you for this. The more I learn about Jung, the more brilliant he seems.
