Dualism and the Framing of Creative Progress

Creative evolution is sparked by moving away from the caricature/ stereotype to embrace the 'other' (1),
such a lateral or 'disruptive' (to the stereotype) leap is always the way of progress,  as such it  can seem illogical / impractical / irrelevant from the perspective of the position it moves from at the time of the move (2)... but that's how it is, it's always a leap of faith...

The real leap is that of the  subject position & world view of the creator...that's the risk and the source of any fruit ...the fruit are the creations and  innovations that arise from the new perspective, creativity is essentially an inclusive phenomena(1), the commercial development and application of the idea in terms of technical (and linguistic) construction are  however exclusive(2)...

Those Funding such innovation will not choose effectively simply via projections from past success

The future of social networking will not be built on a foundation of  fixing identity, which is exactly what Facebook does...(for current business culture reasons)... it will concern itself with flexibility of identity... it will be built on the research on subject position (and folk knowledge of that freedom) and bridge the gap between the two...

Not just performance serving capital...(2) but the liberalization and popularization of the social discussion of performance serving community and ecology...that's the future if we are to have one....the performative nature of our collective self...planet earth...

Active Listening ... and reconciliation

GRAHAM CLUMPNER: Well, part of this whole process is starting the process of reconciliation, which means that we’re actually listening to each other, and we practice active listening, hearing where the other people are coming from. We have a long way to go to come together and for us to overcome a lot of the guilt and a lot of the shame that we as soldiers and veterans feel for what we participated in. And we want to start creating instead of destroying.

Thus the essence of active listening is  simple as it is effective: paraphrasing the speakers words back to them as a question. There is little room for assumption or interpretation. It is functional, mechanical and leaves little doubt as to what is meant by what is said. "The process is successful if the person receiving the information gives feedback which shows understanding for meaning." [1] ^[1]

(1) Suspending one's own frame of reference, suspending judgment and avoiding other internal mental activities are important to fully attend to the speaker.

(this rather differs from (2) the 'practical',  'right man', neocon/extreme constructivist, faith based approaches  : ? (Everything is there/communication is impossible due to theoretical/time constraints  so I can and will assume what the --- I want (or what my group/worldview  has already decided is of practical/ultimate value?))

Where is the bridge?

Trend and Variation: (Probabilities and Chance)

Just as climate doesn't dictate a specific weather event (although it does the likelihood of such events across a population of weather events), the probabilities of certain events never dictate the specific situated (phenomenal)  experience of the subject, (although they do the likelihood of certain conditions across a population of experiences), as this occurs due  the specific, unique  combination of 'random factors' that converge to produce it...
