Part One | Widening Our Thinking | page 1 of 11

Happily, we can find reasons to widen our thinking before yet another calamity happens. The most basic reason is that nobody wants to be caught in a stupid mistake, much less pay a huge price for it. We're also more willing to face issues as a community if we understand everyone's intentions.

We can face what's wrong, if we mutually recognize what's right; and we can better recognize what's right, when we face what's wrong.

The basic idea of widening our thinking should not be unusual to anyone living in a world of interests and products competing for attention. When somebody recommends something, we wonder what they're selling. If we're interested we get more information.

If we got as much information about issues as we get about, say, restaurant recommendations, our experience with issues could turn out as well. Of course knowledge of issues is more complicated, therefore the next principle is about handling the complications of issues.
