We've organized ourselves as cultures, to a large degree, around what we agree we know. And when you have multiple ways of knowing, multiple ways of organizing, the society loses one of its deepest organizational principles.

It's always a challenge whenever you have to nurture more than one culture inside an organization. When I say culture, you have one group that will have one set of priorities, and another with another set. It creates a different cultural environment.
Successful organizing is based on the recognition that people get organized because they, too, have a vision.
Turning a culture around is very difficult to do because it's based on a series of many, many decisions, and the organization is framed by those decisions.
The key to organizing an alternative society is to organize people around what they can do, and more importantly, what they want to do.
That a society controls, to a greater or lesser extent, the behavior of its members is a universal; but the methods, the particulars of that control, vary from one culture to another.
Everything is arranged so that it be this way, this is what is called culture.
The trouble with organizing a thing is that pretty soon folks get to paying more attention to the organization than to what they're organized for.
The community that stands behind a culture as a comprehensively productive personality must be so extensive that in it, to a certain degree, all partialities balance out and work together.
Large organization is loose organization. Nay, it would be almost as true to say that organization is always disorganization.
The great thing about a culture is that once you really get it going, it evolves on its own. It's self-organizing. It's dynamic. It just feeds on itself.
