Much of the real germinating action in this world, the true catalytic momentum, arises from people without passports, without social capital, without credit cards and expense accounts. Paradigmatic change comes from within the minds of those without access to travel or the bully pulpit of mass media. Meaningful reflection, thought and analysis often comes from contemplation of the harsh realities of the world as seen in microcosm by outsiders to the world’s social and political systems, a perspective that can open up the mind to the full expanse of the universe.
