There is something compelling here. It often seems we are living our lives billboard to billboard, without noticing what is going in in the landscape between them. Our communication works in the same way, delivered in lumps and missing the texture that created them. Communication as fast food.
When things are changing in the way they are, there is no substitute for slow conversation in small groups of those we trust. It may seem hard work and inefficient, but it does shine a light on our temporary realities, and offers us a more meaningful menu of options for what we do next.....
Another frame of reference that has served me well and is one of my Guiding Principles is “We are all in transition. Every one of us. All the time.” Transition is the vehicle for constant reorientation (re: Boyd) and makes easier to abandon or discard dated frames of reference. I was impressed with Gurwinder’s frame of reference. The reason is because it is typical Inside The Walls thinking by the “Elites” in power. We characterize our opposition by giving them a label that we can now use to isolate and marginalize. We could and I suspect that you may agree, these are Peripheral groups who have broken off from the Center to form communities outside the walls. I’m referencing my thinking on Shils’ Center and Periphery “frame of reference” here - https://edbrenegar.substack.com/p/reality-and-the-culture-of-simulation
