It was after midnight when I went online to https://t.co/icLT1tFFr2 to have a personal encounter with its new chatbot called PI. I was impressed with its comprehension of the concepts I offered. Here is our conversation:

Interested in Elizabeth Ballantyne’s academic work? She writes in this published paper“…non-market housing [proposed]… as a path to systemic change in the housing market that will transform it into a system that meets the housing needs of all.”

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

In 2017 Guthrie Gloag created a sculpture of a life-size mastodon at a secret location in the woods. We found it on Bowen Island. Today I read in the Island's newspaper, the Undercurrent, that it is gone. Gloag explains. https://t.co/GKRZ9ggy0g

I think we/you are talking about empowering the population of the world to have the tools to imagine and create the world we want. We know that today the 0.01% have the power. The question is how to grow #CreatingTheFuture to achieve this capacity.

Hildy, "...it needs to be somebody's job." Might it be better to say, "someone needs to be accountable"? Then accountable to whom or what (entity)? And for what? #CreatingTheFuture I'd say yes because that manages values.

It seems important for the people 'in the space' to hear what everyone 'feels' (as apposed to 'thinks') because we all know more than we know we know. Some of that is accessed through feelings. #CreatingTheFuture

Is the whole group accountable for 'holding the space' or would the group delegate the responsibility to a 'facilitator?' #CreatingTheFuture
