\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Land of ruddy red rock and river,
\nOf ores and lores and scores from thither,
\nOf fruits of the mind left on the vine to wither,
\nOf too many who stand but too few who deliver;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From describing the wonders of marketplaces both physical and abstract, to explaining the intricacies of evolutionary epistemology, this is a growing collection of imaginative and analytical musings about the human condition.<\/p>\n

Now it is time to at last leave behind\"\"<\/a>
\nThe politics bereft of reason and rhyme,
\nThe poisonous fruits of ideologies blind,
\nWhich seek to exalt the crude and unkind;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>We are only just beginning to tap this revolutionary new tool of augmented collective consciousness, it’s potential to facilitate the human endeavor, to improve the quality of life, still largely unexplored. Colorado Confluence aspires to put this tool to marginally better use, to articulate the genius of the many with the expertise of the few, the simple pleasures of daily life with the sublime pleasures of aesthetic and intellectual discovery, the roiling surface of the political sea with the surging depths of the human mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s time, instead, to be well-advised,
\nTo examine the systems of which we’re comprised,
\nTo derive our policies from thought well-apprised,
\nAnd become harmonious, healthy, and wise;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Colorado Confluence is dedicated to thoughtful discourse that both celebrates and seeks to improve our shared existence here in Colorado, and beyond. It is about the enterprise of life, the narrative we are creating together. This is a place to discover novel ideas and insights, seeking ways to better work together for mutual benefit, and better bear the burdens that none should bear alone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>May those who thrive on the pain of others,
\nStrive instead to become as sisters and brothers;
\nMay hearts open wide and minds learn to grow,
\nAnd pettiness melt like late summer snow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
