Concluding #oopaja March 2011 workshops - reading Climbing a Dark Mountain, and Thoughts on a New Culture by Dave Pollard:
...The essence of the Dark Mountain Movement is aesthetic and creative generosity — a willingness to hold a mirror to the world to show it as it really is, complex and nuanced and full of intractable challenges, which requires an enormous amount of attention and investigation and deep thought, and the imagination to conceive of better ways to live as our world slips deeper into monoculture, anomie, rigidity and mindless homogeneity.
What is disconcerting is that there is relatively little awareness among those in the four movements of what the others are doing, and the possible synergies between the models...
THE new literary & capacity is the willingness to test, re-test and re-test what OTHER emergent groups and movements are doing. -There are many processes and procedures that are relatively new - implemented during the last couple of decades - that already and especially need to be unlearned. My point of view is especially how IT widely has been implemented in my home country - but what I repeatedly understand through blogs written throughout the Western world, this is not at all a Finnish only challenge.

for facilitating group conversations of all sizes,
supported by principles that:
maximize collective intelligence;
welcome and listen to diverse viewpoints;
maximize participation and civility;
and transform conflict
into creative cooperation.”
