I talk a lot about how amazing life is when you become a little dumber.“I don’t know” is our freedom mantra in the LSBC grad community. We say “I don’t know!” with giddiness and massive relief.Smart has its time and place, but dumb is true. We don’t know, but our minds tell us we do
I just finished giving a series of talks to an amazing group of people in Germany and Switzerland.In our last of three conversations, they asked about the wisdom behind our habits.

It appears as if there are solid boundaries that make you you, me me, and that that.But beyond those more-illusory-than-real boundaries, our sameness is massive, deep, and essential.
