Should we know what they are? Why would we care about Bono's thoughts?
Should we spend very much time and energy to find out how our organization might be interested in participating in reducing the threat posed to the world by these three things?
How competent would our members and community be in engaging a plan to reduce the threat from these three things?
Bono's big three are extreme poverty, extreme ideology and extreme climate change.
Let's assume we are already working on extreme poverty.
Let's also take climate change off the table because it's kind of a divisive issue.
But what about extreme ideology? Is that something we can work on?
Could we look at how we offer opportunities for people with different viewpoints to share in a safe space about what they believe and why?
Would that have to start with us?
Maybe we should take some time to listen to someone else's idea, (at least try) to learn from the diametrically opposed, and to work with people we don't understand in a project or two of their choosing.
Would you be willing to take some time away from the birds of a feather and flock with a different covey?
