The notion of scaling linked different things: a persistent problem when we discuss about care, but also a problematic that makes all of the discourse possible. How do we include those who are not included? (Connected many topics: passage, care)

Every lecture is an expansion, ability to formulate things as a group and understanding the problem. It can be viewed from the perspective of scale: the topic expands, there's a build-up process, and then afterward becomes focused again in more private conversations. And these focused conversations can continue over the course of serveral days. The attention span expands and contracts.

Collectively producing a conversation what it means to act collectively. How much does a collective depend on communicating that it's a collective beyond being a meeting?

Is It is enough to be here or convince oneself to contribute? -- A continuation of practice from the pandemic time when there was more time.
