[QUOTE="ZeshinX, post: 8028708, member: 6793656"] It's in this general state where my mind currently resides. Trying to look at things from as many perspectives as my mind allows me to, be they self-generated, the perspectives of those here and from other places. There's obviously a great deal of speculation that occurs as well, based on various perspectives (which no doubt lose something in translation from here to my mind and heart...even the self-generated ones in a weird way)...the speculation leads to various endpoints of varying degrees, be they extreme left, right and the vast in-between. I do very much try to avoid situations of "This vs. That" in discussions of this sort, as I find they tend to lose the element of nuance and complexity...but at times it's a useful exercise, as it can (not always) help introduce oft-needed clarity when the nuance/complexity becomes enormously difficult to sort through. It's a laborious process to be sure, but generally a rewarding one in the end. There are risks as well, as the intent or goal can often get lost in the mix. I've found (rightly, wrongly, in a box by the door) intent is often an element that is regularly dismissed as ultimately irrelevant. I find it difficult to dismiss it so easily, as I think it very much does matter, as it can, in many ways, play an enormous part in the understanding of a situation. I don't argue that intent can do anything to change the immediate emotional context of a consequence to an individual or group...but it does have a major role to play in understanding how we got here, and where we go from here. Dismissing it in the moment feels like a wonderful idea, but the larger picture demands its presence, and losing it will, I suspect, lead to what amounts to an impassable lack of understanding. I would very much like to see more OA content in the future. It's own tome, various drips and drops in future products, what have you. My desire is to see such content continue, vetted to avoid "-ists" and "-isms" yes, but not lacking in imaginative scope or overly weighted with concerns over upsetting any culture, as the intent is not to represent said cultures, merely to let the imagination fly freely and to be inspired by it. Great discussions all around though, and I am glad to be a part of them. :) [/QUOTE]
