Footprints in the Windsm # 1905–Far fewer debilitated

Footprints in the Windsm # 1905

Today I feel on the cusp of something new. We do not fear age so much as society’s fearful picture of age. And that perhaps stems from too little factual knowledge of what aging comprises.

I suspect that far fewer people are debilitated in old age than we think, and that far fewer of those who are debilitated would be but for cultural beliefs.

So we should be living engaged, stirring the pot, rolled into the mix, risking life for life.


Please pass it on.

Seed and fertilizer

We’re not seeking agreement nor deference, rather diversity, innovation, and novelty: in other words, seed and fertilizer.

Elders’ conversations

Our elder group’s conversations are models of how 300-year grandchild elders might receive our ideas. What reception do we want, expect? Respect (as in look again)?

Further-down-the-body Why

I want to learn more about taking a conversation deeper. Might we use Why? differently from other uses? This one is about What matters to you, Who are you, What were your dilemmas, your subtexts? The other, the usual Why?, seems to me about surface level, logic level, not reaching gut level. So we have a head Why? and a further-down-the-body Why?

This Why is open, seeking to know one another on the basis of mutual vulnerability.

Expression of humanity

A machine is an expression of humanity.

Singularity human worth

If there is to be an economic singularity future resulting in no human work of economic value, perhaps we will find our worth in something akin to being. Then again, moving, doing, creating, and growing seem of our essence.
