This insight has political value as well! I am writing about how we have the potential of creating liquid communities of the like-minded within which to deliberate. This organization of intellectual solidarity provides an order that will move our conversations more in a coherent direction that can be productive. While opposing thought communities engage in processes of critical pedagogy that challenges their beliefs within a safe, non-flaming community, these 'opposing' communities of thought are provided ways of mutual critique and dialogue.
In a future politics we will not be strictly associated with parties, groups, or personalities which are frozen, static . . rather we will form liquid alliances within a holarchical framework of organization.
I agree with you: This separation of identity and the content of thought is important, because it keeps our minds open to change, to revisions, restructuring . . to be more human, dynamic, more collaborative.
