Empowerment and Fudge

We see the world differently. Max Planck said Science progresses one funeral at a time. "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.” The hardest thing to do is to unsee and unlearn. Our knowledge builds up till we feel very comfortable with it, and it becomes automatic. It becomes embodied.  We are just fudging our way through life doing our best. Different flavours of fudge harden. We are most conscious of today's flavour of fudge. That is why empowerment beats imposing your beliefs on others. We are all trying to do our best. Empowering people and communities means we get to test multiple solutions.
