I resonate with the framework you describe here Dave, it seems almost “ho-hum” as that is that mindset I’ve been immersed in my own work for the last X years. But the question (I think) you are asking, is how to help others shift into the same zone? How to move from the position of expertise and storing of “knowledge” into consuming, mixing, creating, re-creating, re-mixing, re-creating? It’s a huge leap for more than a few people.

I regret not being able to participate in the Barnraising type activities– I like the almost “blank page / let’s come together and make something we are all interested in” approach as opposed to most conference type things where it is “come and sit and listen to me talk about what I am interested in”.

Good luck with the home renovations; painting is just the start! Wait until you get into tiling (and lovely chemicals used to remove old floor material), plumbing, and “why don;t these lights work anymore” wiring puzzles 😉
