"You may want to cling on to your old world view, or you may feel happy that
you're free of it. I think that people are becoming less satisfied with the
old world view today, generally speaking. They are not satisfied with this
fragmentary view because it has led to so many problems, so much incoherence
in the human relationships and society...and with the ecology and so on...
For example, this fragmentary view has led to treating the whole Earth as
fragments to be exploited. Now, that all adds up, in the whole, to all this
destruction going on. So, as long as we think that way, it will probably go on..."

I'd rather have you people discussing exciting threads in here. Not in the sense of a list of recommended threads for the top post, but rather things like tips or comments in recent threads you generally liked or responses to these comments. Anything really.

I hope this to be more effective in making this thread into a success instead of the "post contributing things in this thread if you want it to be on the front page" approach.

Again, just experimenting.
