Hi--

This insight came to me this morning, and I wonder if it takes us further
on our road toward understanding what, in the larger picture, is going on
inside humanity?

     Posting a topic serves to focus our attention on an aspect of
     something we care about. Focusing attention is a way of assuming
     responsibility.

Does this feel right? Can you suggest where this might be heading?

I think that might be heading towards Open Space Technology myself...  ;-)

I also think that focusing attention is a way to begin to assume
responsibility, like when you notice that the drain is stuck.  You look
at the sink, sigh and fold the newspaper and go and get the
plunger...all of which is a preamble to the actual action of "taking
care of it."  Still, there is no substitute for the doing.  Especialy
when the drain is stuck.

Passion to responsibility is more of a glide than a phase shift.
