From an interview with Bill Isaacs, MIT professor and author of Dialogue: The Art of Thinking Together.
"Make sure you listen to yourself and the person sitting next to you.
Listen to the course of the world and to your own nature;
and you’ll know what to do.
Most people think that dialogue is a form of talking.
It’s more about articulating what’s been heard and at what level.
What are you actually listening to?
And then [it’s] the moral equivalent of saying, “Stand still.”
