About Richard's Keynote:

Wrestling the right giant - a cultural approach to serving the common good
The invisible score of our cultural song sheet pronounces the primacy of the individual above all – we sing solo, not in choirs, and can still ignore the off sounds of a flawed premise. Our starting point is usually first person, the motivation good intentions: ‘I just want to make a difference’. These plus other assumptions and false premises need to be challenged and will be, through the use of story, myth, case study, philosophical inquiry, a little wrestling and the odd giant. There are endless ways to go about the only way that is needed: serving the common good. There will be more self-examination and less self-justification; more listening to and less doing for; more consciousness of the other’s increase and less in our own.
