How To Change Your Mind Pt. 2

Just wanted to put some post-meeting thoughts here while they're fresh: I keep coming back to the gestures Eroc + Joshua were using at the beginning, and the differences between them. In the cyclical gesture, and that kind of relationship, there's reciprocity and momentum, but also responsibility (not to go full Jordan Peterson). The fear of something particular coming up during a trip is, at least, for me, a fear that arises because I know once I 'see' it, I then can't avoid doing something about it; it's my responsibility to address it. Even if I rationally know it's my responsibility, trip or not, something about it coming up during a trip grants it a kind of significance, such that you can no longer ignore it. And in a similar way, I wanted to thank Lisha et al for these calls because when I came on for my first call, I was shocked that it wasn't webinar style, and I could actually have my camera/mic on. And that was a kind of 'oh shit' moment, like oh, they're letting me have this agency here, which both is both a wonderful recognition of all us patrons as real people, but also then putting a kind of responsibility on all of us, in a good way, to reciprocate and be engaged. To spin it out to one more analogy, I think we can use this kind of reciprocity/responsibility to help move people out of toxic ~~cancel culture mode, into something more like what were all trying to do here. I caught myself the other day thinking like "If the toxic leftists on twitter don't care about loving each other, why are they even here? ('here' meaning engaging in left politics). But then I realized, that's just the exact same move. It's the exact same move of othering someone as like, the bad kind of leftist. And so if we want to move from the non-cyclical mode/gesture to the cyclical one, I think we kind of have to lead by example/make that first move by treating those people with generosity, and hope that it sets of a kind of responsibility/momentum in them.
