A lot of people may have an issue with this Episode. I really don’t have a feel for how many people believe we are all connected. KEW Episode 10 focused on the idea of Connectedness, but I don’t know if it is a popular concept. To me it is obvious that we are both individuals and also connected. Call it the dual nature of humans. Or dualism. Or individualism AND communism. Any kind of ism.…

Or that freedom of speech allows racism. And how they want to be free from government rule and intervention. To me, none of this stuff is really about freedom. Or, if it is,…
Has anyone ever told you to turn off your analytical mind? Or to use your intuition? I’m lucky to have a coach that constantly asks my analytical self to step aside.
