hmmm...

Come explore with me. Let’s begin with a radical notion that each of us is endowed with the ability to solve our own problems. Self-mastery. What if that is the essential human experience? Imagine the implications for, well, everything....

Consider the notion of 'experts' in any field. The very concept presents two paradoxes:

1. an external/outside problem solver [aka expert] who comes to save the day undermines the ultimate goal of self-determination (enabling one to better solve problems on his own next time)
2. perpetuates, and perhaps calcifies, the dependency cycle, continuing the externally-motivated culture that we've become.
