"The experience of fear is often more meaningful than manicured safety; the thrill of a few untethered steps in a few seconds of freedom is often more affirming than endless immortality; sadness is often more liberating than unbridled bliss, and communion with fire-breathing dragons in the wilds – if only for a short while to embrace their reptilian sternness – is often sweeter than a lifetime behind our fences. Is there no virtue in running wild in a final moment of colourful blazing glory? Is there not as much beauty in a final spark as there is in a bonfire that lasts all night? Why are we so caught up with making it, hanging in there, and lasting? Sometimes, the things that 'last' are paradoxically bound up in the things that don't."

Koru conversations

"A [MetaParadigmatic] Worldview embraces the findings of [both] faith and science but also gives human agency and free will its due.

If [normal paradigmatic science] tells me that my nature, biologically speaking is warlike and competitive, I can accept that 'truth' and and let it appropriately inform my thinking without in any way taking that to be the final word in the complex story of our human character.

And when science and/or faith evolves as they must inevitably do, and lo and behold it turns out that my nature, biologically speaking, is full of cooperation and altruism, I can let that, in turn inform my thinking without letting it absolutely determine my worldview.

In other words [paradigms] are an open ended story/canon/legend and any conclusions we draw based on it had better be tentative, temporary, and open ended as well."
