We stumbled on this lovely 3 minutes with Laurie Anderson, and found it calmed us and made us THINK. (We also loved seeing her cooled out, very real space). It was made by Dropping Knowledge.org, a website that “invites you to question yourself and the world around you. Every time you ask yourself a question, a new dialogue begins…”
Anderson frames her question so perfectly, we won’t give it away. Here’s the book she mentions if you’re interested in pursuing the ideas: Within the Context of No Context by George W.S. Trow. Read it online here.
What’s your question?

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing it.
this is quite beautiful…i would love to have a cup of tea with her and a nice slow chat…interesting thought…the idea of the distance between you and the group vs. you and yourself…gives me a chuckle…thank you.
I adore her dog…so cute! I found the illustration of the concept in her military example quite interesting. Especially because I was just talking to a friend about this yesterday. What Laurie is saying (without saying) is that there is smoke in front of the mirror of Personal Choice. A good daily question to ask for achieving more clarity on this issue could be: when we make (any) choice, will it shortening the distance to ourselves or to the masses?
