How the Net destroyed democracy | Lawrence Lessig | TEDxBerlinSalon

How have we forgotten how to take our responsibility?

What is your responsibility as a citizen?

What is your responsibility as a man?

As a woman.

I believe that the right kind of dialogue can help.

Face to face dialogue!

Chris Hedges | Snowden Debate | Oxford Union

It is fair to be honest. It is fair to take a deep look at your values again. It is fair to participate in face to face dialogue.

Conversations with History: Glenn Greenwald

We can organize to form our nexus for doing. We can organize to form a sort of useful institution.
We can consider how to effective protect our nexus. We can practice what we want and learn by doing.   Talking over what we are doing until enough of us are on the same page is vital. We will need an exceptional  understanding of our common aims. We will need great sources of learning.  We will need duplicate sources of information.  We will need to do that which we want to be.   I like liberty, justice, honesty, and democracy.

If this is not your responsibility, whose responsibility is it?  Have we decided on suicide?

Who Will "Us" Be? w/ Anand Giridharadas, Eric Liu, Michele Norris, Monic...

What are our protections? How do we keep from being lost in the great world? Family helps. Neighborhood helps. Statehood helps. Our nation helps. But we need a more. Dialogue may help get the needed more.

Our Dialogue

Participate in a dialogue group

                Our dialogue talk is designed to create areas of coherence in the vastness of misunderstanding. Often a major benefit of our dialogue practice is our experiencing the power of collectively shared meaning. Most ordinary talk in our society may be called incoherent. To learn our dialogue talk takes ongoing practice. This practice we have named The Dialogue, Dialogue for Peace, Magic Table Dialogue. The dialogue has which call for practice to develop proficiency. The rules need not be rigid, but hey do point the importance of correct practice.

Aim:

                The dialogue is aimed at learning to think together coherently. Thinking together coherently calls for sustained dialogue. The earliest dialogue may be called a listening practice, but also calls for use of your voice and mind as well as your ears. Thinking together is both satisfying and a great power. We believe that it is worth the effort to practice. 

                This thinking together is a growth and learning process. It occurs consciously and also on a preconscious level. It may occur within us as in our talk to ourselves, or even on an unspoken level. Such talk and thinking may be expected to take on renewed honesty.

                There were times and places when and where this kind of talk was common, but in these days it is uncommon At this time the dialogue of which we speak is rare. It seems to me that it is urgent that more of us practice this sort of dialogue. It is urgent that more of us practice a more effectively honest and coherent communication. By 'we' I mean humanity in general as well as well as those willing to practice the dialogue now.      

Group benefits:                    

                A dialogue practice group benefits when its members strive for diversity and inclusiveness.

                For our own well-being  and perhaps our survival we need to better share our consciousness and become better able to think together. Being able to think together enables us to do intelligently and effectively that which we deem necessary.

            Seems time to close for now. Later we might consider how dialogue supports and strengthens our culture. Another topic might be the set of a dialogue group.

The Dialogue Game

It's a Practice which Increases your Skill and Understanding:           

 

                Our dialogue talk is designed to create areas of coherence in the vastness of misunderstanding. Often a major benefit of our dialogue is to give us a better chance to experience the power of collectively shared meaning which we have created. Most ordinary talk in our society may be called incoherent. To learn to do our dialogue talk, takes ongoing practice. This practice we have called Dialogue for Peace, Magic Table Dialogue, and just The Dialogue. The Dialogue has rules which call for practice. The rules need not be rigid, but they do call for practice which is important. 

                The Dialogue is aimed at learning to think together coherently. Thinking together coherently calls for sustained practice. An early practice may be called a listening practice, but calls for some use of your voice as well as of your ears and mind. Thinking together is both satisfying and a great power.  We believe that it is well worth the effort.

                This thinking together is a learning and growth process. It occurs on various levels of consciousness. It occurs in one, in mental talk to one's self, or even on unspoken levels. We could just say that a lot of learning goes on in dialogue practice.

                Make comments below. I respect suggestions and am grateful for them.
Your suggestions about how the dialogue might be done online can benefit us.You may place whatever you have to say in the "Comment" area below anonymously, with a pen name, ot just your regular name.

                Dialogue practice is much like a parlor game. When you hold the talking stick, everyone listens. Your talking time is limited and if you wish you make it very short. You can say, "The word is ______." and "I pass." 

                Thank you for reading.
