Love this comment.
May I ask to what extent, if any, AI was used in its writing? (I’m trying to calibrate my awareness of that “good writing” looks like it various ways, as I am largely unpracticed)
Thank you @liquidprism for your thoughtful comment 
I’m really touched by it.
To your question: the words come through me, drawn from over two decades of work in campaigning, strategic communications, digital diplomacy, and conflict resolution. That journey has shaped how I write and speak, anchored in listening deeply, understanding where others are coming from, and responding with presence and care. Even when differences arise, I try to meet them as invitations to dialogue rather than division. At its heart, it’s often not about negotiating winning points, but about engaging worldviews, exploring the spaces and building bridges between us with curiosity and reverence.
I believe we can walk alongside one another, even with differing perspectives, in a kind of cross-pollination. There’s been, and continues to be, a lot of unlearning and re-learning on that path. The challenge is to remain authentic while honoring heritage, and to apply what we know with humility. And yes, for transparency I’m always in conversation with ideas, people, and sometimes AI. Since much of my GameA work involves civic technology, these tools are part of my ecosystem, though the essence always comes from lived experience and intention.
Soon, we’ll be opening a tent within the Oasis Community Call about weaving together the cultural fabric of the 2R Forum and hope to explore these very questions and more. I would love to continue the conversation there with you.
Grateful again for your comment and the spirit in which you offered it.

To all Vervaeke eductioners!
I’m curious if this space can come alive, transforming from a digital to a living space.
Inspired by this thread I’m organizing a contemplative hike in the theme of meaning cultivation from Sunday 6th of July till Thursday 10th of July in the serenes Ardennes of Belgium. I want to provide a space for dialogue as we explore our inner landscapes while finding peace in nature’s beauty. Each day, we’ll hike approximately 15 to 20 kilometers, allowing the conversations to evolve naturally, and following the through line between different perspectives. Evenings will be spent dining at a local village, and afterwards, we’ll retire to our cozy accommodations for a restful night. Whether you’re seeking reflection, connection, or simply the joy of the outdoors, this hike promises to be a meaningful experience. 
Price: €250 (included: accommodation, excluded: food)
