Reflections on Dialogue

A few ideas underlying the writing of this post:
1. That we are all very very busy
2. That we all think we are very very busy
3. That I cannot claim to represent the views or practices of "we/us all"
4. That written essays online addressing the views of others is inviting a form of conversation
5. That this form of conversation necessarily differs from conversation in person
6. The former form of conversation in point 4 (written essays online) can be interpreted and misinterpreted in a series of ways that both overlap with and are distinct from the those of the latter form of conversation in point 5 (in person)

This means:
I can write and write and write for the purposes of being read and read and read (and interpreted and shared and asked questions of and held to account for, etc.)
