WDUi Forum

Uli, thank you for sharing more ideas about building a WDU resource library. I agree wholeheartedly that we should not try to list & link every possible source relevant to dignity. But if we want to encourage access and use of the core materials produced by those within our community, then I thi...

Hi Leland, Thank you for your latest questions. In the interest of time and space, I'll try to respond compactly. A good number of these details will be considered as time, energy, and resources allow. Our capacity to develop both programs and resources will depend on the willingness of people to ma...

Several years ago, I posted a piece to my professional blog titled "Tribes for brewing ideas and engaging in positive change." It gave a brief history of how "genius clusters" have emerged in various parts of the world, resulting in various intellectual breakthroughs, and then sp...

In terms of history, I join with Evelin Lindner and others in invoking schools established by ancient Greek philosophers -- Plato, A...
