- for capra course
- about 32 people attending
- begins with a moment of grounding, 2x bell (nice) by della duncan
- fritjof capra says:
- glad to see people face to face, usually enjoy the closing circles tremendously, looking forward to hearing from you
- taking an opportunity to reflect on the difficult times we're living in, and the transition we're living through.
- in the last 40 years I have seen technological revolution, backlash -- the turn of the chaotic pendulum
- war in ukraine seems to be a regression to the status quo around the 50s-60s
- grew up tens of miles away from the iron curtain in austria
- the two blocs were in competition
- bloc thinking is making a comeback:
- putin, who seemingly wants to rebuild the russian empire as it was pre 1989
- nato, an alliance from cold war times
- both blocs are incompatible with the massively interconnected world we live in today
- our major problems are global and systemic
- we need cooperation, negotiation and compromise to solve them, not competition or war
- the outlines of the necessary compromise in this conflict seem clear:
- when dealing with a bully, increasing military tension does not seem a wise path to follow
- cuban missile crisis 1962 was resolved by diplomacy and with a compromise
- hopefully diplomacy and compromise will outweigh the mechanistic bloc thinking from the past

- feminist morality
- Q: how do we change culture?
- from the systems point of view, culture is an emergent phenomenon in a network of communications. as communication continues, there are feedback loops, and a system of values and behaviour emerges
- there is a difference between a social system and a community: when the earlier develops a culture, it becomes the latter.

- lisa how would you describe our community?
- fritjof I'd describe it as a learning community. It seems like the simplest and most powerful way to enact transformative learning, learning which changes our worldview.
- When we learn in a community, you discuss concept relationships while you experience human relationships; this has a powerful emotional component.
