Aloha Carley,

Imagine a bald monk bowing before you in sincere gratitude. Your post paints both stairs and steps to take to live transparently. Transparency - a concept Julian paradoxically challenges us with. For example, you note how much time and effort it takes to become part of Julian's trusted circle. Said time takes conscious efforts to live transparently. True?

As our collective human tribe weathers the storms of balancing facts (cold hard data-driven facts) - the gold stored within WikiLeaks vaults - with feelings generated from exposure to facts - how we engage critical thinking skills - shapes daily life in ways we may not understand for generations to come.

The internet's capacity to tsunami us with more data (in seconds) than one human has the capacity to digest in dozens of lifetimes presents us with an exponentially expanding awareness of our collective's potential.
