“In a network: planet, people and play.”
@johnkellden

In our digital discourse in general and in the Conversation community in particular, there’s a few ongoing themes:
- ecosystemics
- economy
- eudaimonia

Planet: Ecosystemics
Will we learn how to take good care of the part of the planet where we live?

Play: Economy
Will robots and algorithms take away all our jobs and half the economy?

People: Eudaimonia
In the midst of all this, how do we pursue eudaimonia? How do we pursue happiness?

Conversational Logic co-evolving with Contextual Intelligence
In our digital discourse, should we so choose,
there’s a conversational logic available:

Participatory Inquiry: Debate, Conversation, Dialogue

Debate
Debate is good when in need of speaking fun and truth to power.

Conversation
Conversation is good when in the presence of peers. As in 8bn human peers.

Dialogue
Dialogue is good when in need of catalyzing core, key, insights.

Discussion
Inbetween debate and conversation: discussion.

Skillful Conversation
Inbetween conversation and dialogue: skillful conversation

Metalogue: A Patterning That Re-aligns
Inbetween dialogue and collective intelligence: metalogue, holding a generative place conducive to a mutual learning that catalyzes a patterning that re-aligns

The Strategic Outcome
truths, peers, insights

The context for these three strategic outcomes
play, people, planet

Generative Review
If we gather enough insights how to realign ourselves with our planet, we will make it.

If we remember there’s 8bn humans, and that all 8bn humans are peers, we will usher in thriving, flourishing communities.

If we play our innate truth, well, we will rediscover our true place in evolution.
