Suggestion: While I enjoyed the conversation, I thought it was a little chaotic and over the map. I think we need to have two, maybe three points that we discuss in detail. We can agree on them before the meeting or in the first minutes. Alternatively, each person can have one Big Thought that they took away from the reading, and lead a discussion on that idea for about 10 minutes. These will help guide the discussions and be more fruitful.
Thought: An interesting social norm is volunteering. It's something we do for free, on our own time, in order to get the "warm & fuzzys". Work, on the other hand, is what - as we discussed - we do for money. Why do these things have to be separate? Why can't our volunteer work create economic value for all involved, and why can't we get our "warm & fuzzys" from work?
