Interesting interview (the "why" in the title is a journalistic pet peeve of mine though)

This needs also to move into political and social exchange, so that we integrate the diverse viewpoints into actions around sharing and solidarity, but without a center that diminishes the value of each individual point of view. In other words, replacing an organizational system that, no matter how hard it tries, will always reinforce hierarchy, and replace it with a much more fluid organism of interaction and responsibility. We will each hold and shape our material and spiritual reality in order to share that with each other and with the everything.
