Process thinking *is* intriguing and refreshing to me. But I'm not entirely persuaded, tbh.
Nor am I sure media such as this are a great way to discuss it.

Maybe Gadamer, indirectly, in the sense of cultivation and Bildung?
Kind of a stretch, I guess.

I'm fighting the same fight as we speak; struggling to finish a rather short, mundane document that, for all I know, will never be read entirely.
