Hi, Michael. First, I wanted to suggest for future chapter posts that you might want to include a list of previous chapter links (all together - maybe at the beginning of the post - and identified by chapters instead of titles) for quick referenc...

Chris,   I agree with you that believing there is no alternative is, itself, a deadly downer...sure, that's why the view is so pounded into people.   > But, my additional point is that the TINA-factor in her outlook is a...

I don't want to overstate my point if it's more of a personal catharsis!   However regarding psychological suffering I think it is important considering that radicals (left & some right) usually tout how human creat...

Mark, high,   > “being motivated at all” - is this accurate?    Will fix.   > “collectively getting somewhere desirable” - or we might say that vision helps overcome sectarianism whic...

Thanks Daniel - I hope it works as well for others as for you! On the definition of institutions, I think that is in earlier chapters - but I will check, and perhaps repeat a bit, somehow, to avoid any confusion.

Hi Michael, This is how I see this chapter six: it answers questions like which are the first steps to organize and launch a movement which really wants to change the current society, i.e values and institutions previous to any other step. In...

Michael - Id be interested in having a go at writing a piece for Chapter four. As I work for the National Health Service I was thinking maybe something on that - what do you think? Maybe you would give us a bit more guidance on what you hope for...

Okay Michael - here is my feedback.   “Well, our claim is that social change activists should heed that advisory and even arrive at that insight themselves because having a shared vision of at least the defining features of what we are...

I'm all for us contributing to chapter four. I am willing to have a go at some of the topics you suggested. My only constraint at the moment is time / headspace. So the best I can do is start in a couple of weeks and put some online within the...

Chris, ** Minor edit at the end of paragraph 4, you might consider a sentence stating that what you are aiming at is the concept "vision".  Paragraph 5 starts "Okay, but why explicitly address vision?" and you h...

Thanks Yoann - I appreciate it and am happy to hear that is your reaction to this one - honestly, I think the process in this zgroup works, though I wish more people were getting involved, so that, in time, perhaps other people writing would do th...

Mark,   "Rather I was thinking that vision (in conjunction with non-dogmatic thinking) is the solution to sectarianism."   Vision is a partial solution to lots of things - but the only sense I can see in which it is a...

Michael - In response to my criticisms of your solution to sectarianism you ask “And the rest?” Okay (as I thought I made clear)  I think shared vision is “the rest”.   In reply to this you say - “But th...

That idea actually crossed my mind. I will have to read every chapter twice in order to have an overall view but I promise I'll send it to you next week. Let's say I send it to you next wednesday. I know 7 days sounds like a long time but I a...

How about this - to the extent you have the time.  When you come across a spot you think I should insert examples....note it...and then for any given chapter just send that info - like this chapter number - text at beginning of relevant par...

Okay, I think I understand about the audience you are aiming for. I was just thinking that, since the academic literature might be thought of as a central part of the larger superstructure of society, in that, academics are often seen as the autho...
