Humainologie creative dialogue on Democracy and What We Can Do to Revive It tomorrow Wednesday Nov 3

“We must make our choice. We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.” - Justice Louis Brandeis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Brandeis

“The future is in our hands. We are not hapless bystanders. We can influence whether we have a planet of peace, social justice, equity, and growth or a planet of unbridgeable differences between peoples, wasted resources, corruption, and terror.” - James Wolfensohn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wolfensohn

“The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.” - Gloria Steinem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Steinem

Here are the questions to help get your creative engines started for the dialogue tomorrow, Wednesday November 3, on Democracy and What We Can Do to Revive It:

Why are there so many poor people in such a rich country as the United States?

Is Canada heading in the same direction?

What can we do in Calgary to build a genuinely healthy democracy?

The gist of my response to the third question is appended below; I will provide greater detail tomorrow at the dialogue.

It starts at 6:30 PM Calgary time. Here is the Zoom link provided by Shinobu:

The gist of my response to the question about what we can do in Calgary to build a genuinely health democracy is as follows: We can use highly innovative ways to bridge chasms of silence, connect people across socioeconomic and ethnic barriers, and enhance financial security, all of this chiefly by fostering, featuring, and emulating the initiatives of Calgarians – as individuals and in small groups – toward those ends. I will provide some examples of this approach at the dialogue tomorrow.
