gluttony and social action

Interesting discussion out of the experiment by two presenters to swap papers and present each other's work. The distance of having someone else represent one's own work complicates the question of ownership ... perhaps, the lower investment of the non-author enables a greater application of force. Something in this type of sharing might be a way of forging stronger alliances across our different areas of expertise, a means for building collectivity that can more effectively "swim upstream" because the single person, bounded group, or focused issue no longer has to generate enough force to make headway against the current in relative isolation.
