Phil Henshaw Hath Spoken Thus:
==>Look, I know this audience is not made of fools, and not deaf and dumb, and
probably not disinterested in change, so I have to figure your inability to
connect with my approach to constructing a science of change for natural
complex systems must be that you find no door between your methods and mine.

Phil,
Nick Thompson hath replied:
I have struggled to understand you over the years and just .... can't.
Others have said the same of me.
Perhaps "connection" is too high a standard. Certainly "AUDIENCE" is too high
a standard. We are not all here, quietly attentive, waiting for ANYbody's
message. There is no "we" here.
The older I get, the rarer communication between actual human beings seems to
be. We talk to our gods; we talk to our college mentors; we talk to our long
dead parents, we reproduce the values of those who have tortured us in our
past. However, talking to EACH OTHER is pretty unusual. And hearing one
another is rarer still.
Take care,
nick
