Having posted recently that dualistic, us v. them, thinking is obsolete… I should add to my last posting that the idea is not to defeat speeches and philosophy with policy that springs from conversation, but to transcend and include speeches and philosophy in this next bigger thing, the conversation, the market, the open exchange of, for and by the many.
Seems, then, that it’s not the ability to see the two separately, to see choices, that is becoming obsolete. That’s still essential. The thing that’s getting old is the making of one dominant over the other, at the expense of their union. Public speaking is essential to public conversation. Everyone must speak out, write out. Claim their author-ity, as Jon Husband calls it. Look, listen, and appreciate wisdom. This shift is speeding up, and spreading out, the discourse. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine doing both, speeding and spreading. It’s not how organization used to work… but it is how Movements work!
