Comments on: Bloodpact Blogging and the Consultative Paradigm http://www.toddero.com/2009/11/bloodpact-blogging/ Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:52:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Mara http://www.toddero.com/2009/11/bloodpact-blogging/comment-page-1/#comment-638 Mara Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:23:06 +0000 http://www.toddero.com/?p=89#comment-638 Love this, Todd. I've sort of blamed my Baha'í upbringing for leaving me hopelessly wishy-washy in any debate because I find something to agree with in every position, but it's interesting to think of this not as a lack of commitment to the truth so much as a refusal to get entrenched. I hadn't thought of a paradigm as an entrenched position until I read this, but I think it is. And what often makes it so hard sometimes to get to real consultation is that among all the different sorts of detachment we need to practice is a detachment from the paradigms we've slipped into unconsciously. Thanks for this, I am excited to think I might see regular blog posts from you and get regular glimpses into what you're thinking. Love this, Todd.
