That is my goal, to get public intellectual discourse going again. I want to to private face-to-face work as we have already discussed, but if things plan out there is so much opportunity to do public lectures free to all to visit and listen and discuss.
That is wonderful news, and I am sure that you will see the fruits of your hard work! It is amazing work you are doing, and I am fortunate to see what you have done already!
That will be so great, as it will really stimulate participation among the youngsters.
Thanks, and the scripture states that one will plant, and another will water, so I am not one that wants to see the fruits. All that I want is to do something that will benefit the lives of the poor. Others can then continue with it.
!BEER
There is a saying in I think the middle east that alludes to this! The father plants date trees so that their children's children might get fruits. It is a slow progress and we need to make that leap of faith that others will continue our work. As you said, we can only make the soil fertile and allow the seeds to have good nutrients, others will need to water and nurture the plant.
There is also a verse in the Bible that speaks of it. One can only do the best that one can in this life, and hope that the next generation will continue with it. Maybe they will if it's good and if it's bad, then it will simply fall away. !LOL

For sure, we can only do so much! And it is much more important to help others create good soil, rather than try and spread seeds where one goes. I am sure we can reread the parable of the seeds in this light as well. Good soil is so important.
The sad thing is that so many land claims are lying fallow with nothing going on. Good soil is all important, but then if the lands are not worked, then it goes to waste.
Like the parable of the dead tree not bearing fruit, and to be cast away to be burned. If everyone were to work together, this would not be a food scarce country, and little children will not die from malnutrition.
For sure. That is the biggest problem — no one wants to work together, and no one wants to work toward the improvement of others. As you noted, if everyone worked together, there would be no malnutrition and there would be jobs for everyone. There is enough work, but not enough opportunities. Especially in academia; there are double the amount of students but no new appointments.
So many care only for the self, and most everyone is hooked on the idea of money and power. The sad thing is that backstabbing and selfishness are at the order of the day. I think that the GNU is a good effort to show that everyone taking hands can work well together, but then again, we see that many are trapped in the past. Spoilers around every corner, and job creation remains just a dream.
The system is this. Why pay for 3 if one can do all three jobs. Not only in academia, as it's all over. Just look how many qualified doctors are sitting at home.
!BEER for Christmas.
