Something to Share with the World

Early on, one of the principles of ServiceSpace AI that inspired me was the idea that we would collectively create a "polyculture" field of data commons -- that I would share my data with your Bot, you would share your data with my Bot, and all of our users would be better off because of that invisible sharing!

I just got an email from a fellow podcaster, author and long-time BatGap community member that illustrated this point ...

Here's why I'm contacting you today: BATGAP BOT!

I just put in some questions to Bat Gap Bot, and holy cow!  What a BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL set of responses came forth!!! I know it sounds silly, but I felt like crying, the answers are so spot on.  Many points are those I would give myself to new parents or teachers.  I don't even know how to thank you for offering us access to this new, developing service.

Honestly, I'm gobsmacked.

Here are the questions I asked:

To me, the answers are ALL profound, but you really have to read through the one on "What kind of parenting will help us raise mindful, compassionate, children."  It is something to share with the world.

Rick and Irene, what a blessing it is to have all of the fruits of your labor come together in such a beautiful, beautiful way.  I'm so glad that you guys are on the planet. :-) THANK YOU.

Many of her responses feature BatGap archives, but they also feature many DailyGood articles, Awakin Calls, Conversations.org interviews and so on from the ServiceSpace archive. In the response highlighted above is a talk that Meghna gave on Educating our Children's Heart.

Indeed, "it's something to share with the world".
