Yeah, I also think that this kind of diversity of thoughts and strategy is really, really beautiful. I'm glad to see it in the most unconventional and surprising of contexts. It's why I consider myself an anarchist without adjectives. Absolutely, yeah. I think we benefit greatly from conversation between these traditions and between these strategies.
