@palewire Appreciate you sharing this too. I cite his work in our trainings all the time. He really espoused critical thinking in ways we should center our work.
@palewire I am so thankful to that man, Ben. He factually was responsible even for the first conversation I've ever had with my wife.
@palewire Thanks for sharing this sad news. His work was so influential.
@palewire Oh no, sorry to see this. Thank you for flagging for the community. RIP
