This is the way, Gillian. Core principles of humanity are the anchor we need as the world drifts and as every paradigm comes undone and needs reinvention. Your "exploration rather than a debate" sent my mind racing to imagine what replacing the terms could mean in everything. Facilitators like you can make this concept a mass inception.

I was abroad the last 10 years and returned to find that every label has changed without conviction or consistency. They're all vestigial. Left, right, even center—five people give five different definitions. I’ve been having this silly dream where a roundtable discourse is arguing only on solutions, with a jar in the center to drop a dollar for anyone who loses composure and drops a label. Imagine those rules in the presidential debate, err, exploration.
I love this Jonny! Doesn't sound like a silly dream at all - something we could certainly use. And I love that your attention landed on and resonated with the idea of having an exploration as opposed to a debate. In a sense, it's such a simple shift to look at our challenges and differences that way, but what an impact it would have for the ultimate outcome of things. It might mean that people become less reactive and open to other ideas, and openness is what we need.
Thank you so much for your comment and for reading!
