Voluntary Visions looks through the intellectual lenses of the Trivium method of critical thinking ( http://triviumbinder.blogspot.com/ ), Voluntary Communication (a.k.a. Non-Violent Communication, http://www.cnvc.org/ ), the Non-Agression Principle ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle ), as well as other lenses, so as to create internal and interpersonal emotional and intellectual equilibrium.
I show up on youtube! Click below for the link to: Coercion as "harm"; after first hour, NVC & autonomy (This was labeled "The Ethics of Coercion" in the hangout when I joined.) Unexpected things, and I'm back from my travels, no international stuff, and this is actually fine with me... However, while being here I finally reached out and produced a nice video with my friend Jacob S. from the G+ Hangouts. Here is the link, Jacob starts it off talking solo for the first hour, and I appear at 1:02:30 (after futsing with my nasty feedback, so professional). I also futs with my cat, my soup and a few other things, but me and Jacob have a great talk, in my opinion. http://t.co/FvIrmFNh »
Beautiful puffy clouds here in Upper Puna, finished my last workday 'till I leave and take Voluntary Visions to the "mainland", see family, and then onward toward the lands of the Dine (Navajo) and Hopi and Yaqui, (and many others of tribes that are cohesive and tribes that are sundered), now called Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Points beyond this adventure: Iceland England Greece Turkey Spain and Morocco, and then I get to return to my tropical home, and my cat who I love dearly. We have a wonderful housesitter who will care for her and live here (good thing) and it will be a huge relief to return and see that our kitty and our home are as we left them.
