dialogue (3): the question of the day

as a class we volunteered today for a dialogue event "walking the talk" which was put together at the wosk center for dialogue. it was on sustainable education and important, surrounding themes.

what has resonated within me throughout the event was the following: each and every one of us is intelligent in some way. but if we are smart individually, why are are we so dumb collectively?

this is not a very constructive question, though, because individual smartness may be, and i believe that it is, very significant in collective processes.

thus, let's phrase the food-for-thought question slightly differently, solution-oriented:


how can we transform our individual smartness into a collective one?
