I think you're absolutely right about the need for a new mindset, and that this will come from asking different questions. Thanks for the comment George.

Until we have a vision for something better (freedom and success) and a proven system to climb up and out of our circumstance (continuous improvement) we may not be willing to take the effort or the risk required to "scale the wall" (or cooperate at the larger scale of community iniitiatives). That is a widely known concept but a seldom used construct - in relationships, business, or governance. That vision must begin with the expectation of equitable representation - and anticipate equitable reward at its destination. The mental approach (and the ultimate realization) must align with and within those two basic constructs or it is likely to fail. So if we seek better answers - perhaps we need to begin with better questions. And if we seek better questions - what are the most basic ones that offer us the core insight needed for our situation - and are also applicable to yours - and theirs as well? I've narrowed it down to four. Perhaps you have a better idea**..., and that** is a "Charter Mindset" and it engages both the vision and process and the cooperative approach needed to launch us toward a better result - to find answers that work - for both of us, and them - continuously, and globally.
