success in the old paradigm is applauded and yet the BS in that old story is at the root of why much of the world is suffering. Google, and other web enabling devices are great for communication. However without seeing that this is an enabling device of virtual real estate that has an "unlimited" growth potential necessary for the monetary systems survival...ok. But since that focus is trashing ecosystems, applauding consumer growth all the stuff that is killing this species abilities to expand potential that do not follow the pattern, that is a loss and a death sentence. Synthetic reality is not a good replacement for living moving feeling evolving creatures. Our ideas are limiting our greater possibilities. This construct is Madness in a fancy dress!
Oh and Gandhi, he stood up against the empire, but as part of the former elitist caste in India, did nothing that would rock his own boat. Dalai Lama, coming from a theocratic rule, that stems from the ancient god/king set up, that right to rule thing is a bit outdated. Madness in a system stems from the replication of genes and no doubt memes too!
Seems to me that the hierarchical construct is basically a design of ego, constructed to protect the self from the whole of self. The immaturity in that story can be addressed by new ideas of who what and why and how. New stories are being born, nurturing them will take new beliefs and new actions. Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments, Deborah. I am not clear who you mean by "those people," and what you mean by "this" when you say "because this is about curiosity." I invite you to be in conversation as I am sure you have something important to say.
