Applied Buddhism, Liberty Camp question: What is your highest value?
28 June 2009 by Mike GogulskiPosted in diary | 3 Comments »
Posed in a session aimed at invoking the power of right-brained thinking in order to produce creative, integrative thinking toward solutions to practical matters.
Answers varied wildly. The exercise, as constructed, was great, because I didn’t know this answer for myself until doing it.
My answer: Compassion. Compassion is my highest value.
Next: What’s your vision for expressing/achieving/maximising that value?
My answer: End all legal privilege. Smash the state.
Next: What is your unique ability to contribute to making that happen? Where is your comparative advantage?
My answer: Crypto/web tech to support the growth of peaceful black and gray markets.
Agora! Compassion! Action!

Sounds like you’re doing a great job—you certainly have me missing the camps!

I like that intersection of liberty and Buddhist philosophy…I’m down with that for sure.
