The issues for me revolve around birthing and touching, interweaving and opening. How do we open windows, doors, and skylights among us? How do we engender, quicken a more inclusive world? Who are the people who care about this, who see the wider?

:- Doug.

Words and concepts of my hope: inclusion, access, open, transparent, lateral, peer-to-peer, sharing, clear, urbane, responsible, participative, engender, touch, converse.

:- Doug.

A hope in things we have seen: distribution of conversation, flattening of the conversation, democratization. The Internet has brought about a change in how we think, how we interact. If, and it may be a big if, we can do the same in the power grid, if we can create power on our own homesteads, there is hope that the world can become even more distributed, flat, democratic.

:- Doug.

Engaging people is the task. Make an effort and find what works for me. Figuring it out ahead of time does not seem to be working: I try something, and it does not get me 100% to a deep conversation, and so I stop, feel like it is all a difficult task. Well, it is difficult. Every interaction is different, and so it takes being there.
