At the risk of being provocative, I will be more specific, even if less lyric, than you were : if we continue to stick to ideals and utopia, and gather in think tanks producing nothing but rhetoric, we are doomed. What they have, as Kcurie brilliantly demonstrated, is the power to make their point, and money is power.It is sad but reality contradicts your point : there is no "team" as such, only a management tool to boost productivity, and the time of the last runner is his problem. The team does not give a shit. That's how companies operate, economics rule the world, and governments take their instructions from the Stock Exchange. When through hell, just keep going. W. Churchill
(I did not promote the Euston diary, Colman did...) In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
unless action brings those ideas into the open.
Agnes, what ideas would those be, if we don't think about them? Action based on half-digested or hastily-assumed ideas will bring just what into the open, in your view?
And what action do you propose?
As for myself, and my areas of preoccupation, I go out on the streets and in circles where it is possible to have direct contact to prostitution, the "service providers" (I hate this expression) and the clients. I use my connections with the so-called French Grandes ecoles elites to get in touch with politicians, those who will be running for the next Parliamentary election. Does that answer your question ? When through hell, just keep going. W. Churchill
As to your first point as to moving ideas out into the political sphere -- indeed the public sphere -- isn't it clear that is what we're talking about here?
