Post Loops workshop thoughts

Thanks all for rich conversation this afternoon.  A few things I want to mull further, for whatever use they might also be to others ...

Some interesting variants on the "less wrong" theme, should it perhaps be "less conflicted"?  If the latter is understood as always transient?  For more along these lines, see Making Sense of Understanding: The Three Doors of Serendip and some thoughts on "oceanic feelings". 

Can we actually get students/people to value noticing conflict, inside, with the outside, with other people?  By providing the context for positive experiences with conflict?  the phenomena of discovering something new?  the enhanced power of being able to choose among possibilities? 

Intriguing to think about all this in the context of a curricular unit on metacognition, on life skills?
