The conversations so far:

1. Just a talk: Introduction to the hosts. The site sells no services or products. It is a platform for conversations. Ground rules for the conversations about goodness. The beginning of a running-list of links to gifts and givers like Fred Gutenberg, Erich Fromm, Wendell Berry, and Habitat for Humanity.  9/12/2025 https://tinyurl.com/yf2cf554  

2. About the hosts: The idea of the Human Project is briefly explained and previous works by the hosts, such as Frameshifts and the Bulletins from Mashkinonge, are listed.  9/26/2025 https://tinyurl.com/2s3v3vyt 

3. An invitation This is the formal invitation sent out to the Fellowship of the Attentive (FOA) at the launch of the platform.  It gives the rationale for the platform and describes the FOA. 9/26/2025 https://tinyurl.com/bdhsxdn6 

4. First responders  The conversation about experts and first responders turns to the work of Thomas Brown,  https://jthomasbrown.com/  who brings a poem and video to the platform. 9/26/2025 https://tinyurl.com/4y674fmu

5. Memorials and Wound Treatment Ranging from Socrates and Rabbi Yochanan to works by Richard Rose and Philip Larkin, the participants talk about grief and how writing embodies memorials, and they try to explain what “talking about goodness” means—ending with more links to the running-list of “people doing something about goodness” like Brooke Vandervelde https://www.nightcaps.show/ , April Bair https://www.bairink.com/, Gayle Turner The      Storytellers Channel, Inc., and Judy Henry https://tinyurl.com/yxk94ss9 , 10/22/2025 https://tinyurl.com/mpd9edcz 

6. U-T as a Wound Treatment Center  The previous conversation continues: Can the arts be a Wound Treatment Center? The featured contribution is by Poet Derek Kannemeyer https://www.petalridge.com/, who also raises questions for future conversations. 10/22/2025 https://tinyurl.com/mr2stmas 

7. PREFACES. What are the aspirations that sustain us to do good work? Derek Kannemeyer’s work, Prefaces, takes a look at the design-features of a heavenly reward-system. Monica Lewis reports on the design of a garden where people can meet pollinators. https://tinyurl.com/yd8h3hk2 

8. LATECOMERS. The quietly subversive world of teaching and learning is a place for treating the wounds of caste-divisions and injustices. https://tinyurl.com/2cmkdz4k
