Our cultures and common relationships with ‘public standards’ incline us to a ‘possession’ model of experience, situations, identity and opportunities. This linguistic artifact is a repercussion of marketplace/courtroom contexts, and is lethal to our societies, minds, relationships and intelligences. We will thus find great value in any situation where we can explore and transform this situation together.

We must convert the passive/consumer/victim model to the authorial model, one where we compose minds and histories, futures and identities intelligently together, in ways that empower, encourage and educate us, rather than complying with public methods that are disempowering, fictional, and tyrannical.
