Brilliant! There is so much wonderful inspirational educational content in this fabulous discussion. Excellent point also about the acceptance of authority (fearfulness) in almost every profession, that seemed entrenched until very recently, as if 'nudge' psyops and quite deep brainwashing (corporate advertising, MSM and gov propaganda) and educational bias, censorship, suppression, have been intentionally controlling populations for generations :) Related to all this, among many other perspectives, I'm fascinated by the personality perspective... the characteristics of those who dare to question and say that the emperor is naked, and what enables the bravery of those who instinctively sense how to live, and 'be', as we're evolved, to stay fit and healthy naturally, and to varying degrees in different ways to lead and guide and help heal others. There is a sort of compassionate fearlessness that seems to come from big personal growth and sensitivity. I like the Dabrowski Theory of Positive Disintegration perspective. Obviously it's complex. 'Life stage theory' is another dimension that I find very relevant too. Especially when it comes to pioneering and risk-taking... Having the emotional resilience to expose one's vulnerability... To trust in our own fearlessness, rather than try to be like the majority. Human growth is about much more than qualifications and age. It's more about being brave, okay with uncertainty, comfortable with who we are. Self-love. Erik Erikson (life stage theory) learned a lot from Native American Indians. Maslow understood deep human growth towards transcendence too, and how to help others transcend. 'Educational servant leadership' is a way I describe it to myself, and anyone else who is interested :) Most people by nature are passive. I guess because that's how human societies have evolved and survived. But we have in some ways become too clever for our own good and we don't understand how to manage all that we've invented, especially computer tech and financial systems. So as a species we are rethinking how to be, individually and collectively. We've faced a challenge for centuries, that monetary wealth controls language and historical interpretation, and hitherto also technological applications (for profit and greed etc), rather than seeking to make a harmonious peaceful human planet. The most fearful, in existential terms, bizarrely now it seems to me, are the folk with 99.9% of all the monetary wealth :) Some of the most fearless independent thinkers I've ever met are the homeless, with nothing except what they carry in their rucksacks and in their hearts. We are all specks in whatever is actually reality and time and space. Meanwhile back on Earth :) ... Happily huge evolutionary changes seem now well under way (IMHO thoughts really do become things :), so that a re-imagining and emergent redesign of human health/education are now inevitably bringing to an end the legacy assumptions and systemic failings of the past. Thanks again Zoe and Graham for your beautiful work and souls. Alan xx
