Chris, et al - For my 2cents, I'd have to say that standard holders like Gideon, who has lived in - - and probably still lives in -- a Camphill Community are as valueable to biodynamics as are visionaries like Greg Willis who range over and under the bar as they foray WAY outside the box.
I'd even say that those of us (like me) who slam others for expressing their honest opinions are most likely also a valueable diversification within the human meta-organism, but I have yet to discern their function. -Allan
