In the First ‘Open Letter’ on DaaS, I appeal to people cultivating fruitful responses to the catastrophic pollution of our media ecology. I offer access to a secret Garden in which we can co-create a tabernacle to shield us from the kleptocratic attention economy. To obtain directions to the place “somewhere beyond right and wrong”, follow the call to action above the paywall.
Note that I've introduced the “Walk with Me” option for DaaS sessions (DaaS-IRL) with subscribers within easy walking distance in Queens or Manhattan, New York. Also note that Rumi's Garden is only one of the two service formats for DaaS. Stay tuned next week for updates on Dialogues with the Devil (DwD).
As usual, if you can only read a single post before subscribing to DaaS, read What Is Dialogue: A New Cartography?
What is Dialogue?
As promised in DaaS, I propose a definition of dialogue as Human-to-Human Communications (H2HC) protected from corrupting influences. In this sense, dialogue is the opposite of PR, which my “Devil's Dictionary” defines as systematic covert corruptions of H2HC to achieve amoral objectives.
If you can read a second post, read In Rumi's Garden: Rules and Responsibilities.
What Is Worthy of Question?
As an addition to the first three Vital Questions, consider Martin Heidegger's haunting statement on What Is Worthy of Question?
