Is vs Ought
When new information is discovered, first, we divulge the is — the fact, the raw truth that is the fruit of effort. Subsequently, those in the conversation begin to frame the ought — the ‘what to do’ or the actionable responsibility of the is.
As ease of access to information has increased, the closed doors that once surrounded new paradigms have been unlocked and public conversation is now open to forum that was once exclusive to the ivory tower.
The decentralization of framing the ought has ushered in the opportunity for the myriad to promote a more progressive future. This starts by many individuals choosing a conversation and raising their voice.
Engage in constructive dialog and listen to opposition, the yin needs the yang to pull to center.
Don’t speak with volume, speak with accuracy.
