Daniel, thanks for the trip into the 70s! My personal transformative education started in the works of the people in your article. I am working on a new project relating to the transformation of human, social organization for production of value to society based in emergent evolution, complex adaptive systems theory and pretty much my whole transformative history.

My huge personal library has been pared over the decades with each move between countries or within them. Each time I keep those that seem to have the longest reach into past thinking that will contribute to future thinking. Inevitably, books disappear from my physical collection that I later wish I still had. However, I don’t just read books, I study then and integrate them so that the intent and theories are not lost. But I miss various specific phrases that have gone out of mind.

I like all that you write. Even those parts that I don’t align with. Even a few that I outright disagree with. All contribute to my thinking. If I can answer those parts of your writing in a sound way, I always learn more — and trust that what I’m presenting is at least grounded enough to respond.

The challenge we share as brothers is to get our thinking accepted enough, thought about enough, that actions will accumulate that influence the movement towards what we both want.
