"We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together, and if we are to live together, we have to talk."
Evolution and conversation are close cousins.
Both are "process" -- and they embody each other.
Evolution is the ongoing process of change.
If we want to consciously and intentionally change
our social systems, we need to talk together about it.
The more inclusive, wise and productive our
conversations are, the more powerful and positive
the changes will be. It is no accident that the
conversational dimension of our work is usually
called "process". Conversation is our way of
being in process and evolving together.
Given the many crises that are emerging today, high
quality conversation is an essential evolutionary force.
