Writing

I am also interested in writing- to try to make sense of the world, and to enter into conversations with others.

The world as become so dystopian right now, for the most part people seem to either argue with each other or to try to control the dialogue.

People seem to be locked into certain ideas and to be resistant to exploring whether their ideas stand up to questioning, It seems that many of us have a need to feel both factually and morally beyond doubt.

I am wondering if it might be possible to facilitate real discussions. Can we think togetherabout what is happening in the world? Can we get beyond the constant arguing and relearn how to think together to solve the problems we are facing?

To that end I am going to write some short essays and invite thoughtful discussion.

I hope in addition to form writing groups where we write together on a topic of our choosing and discuss our ideas.

I will start with the first of what I hope will be a monthly post. I hope to receive some thoughtful commentary that people can post to my email [email protected]
