We need a democratic process that is capable of releasing the creativity of people and communities, of growing power from human interaction, and for dealing with the change and complexity of today’s world. A new democratic consciousness will have at its root the development of the capacity for dialogue and co-creation at local levels. Should this capability become widespread, a means for extending the conversation will be necessary because of the complex and inter-dependent nature of public issues. We will obtain the greatest creativity and commitment from stakeholders if we can maximize the involvement of the smallest, innermost units of community and minimize the need for layers of representation. Should this groundwork of democratic consciousness be lain, the Universal Demosophia Facility concept may help to support its manifestation on a global level.

Communication is a key strategic factor in organizational success and deserves careful attention. While formal conversation events may not be practical, small shifts in typical processes based on the underlying values of conversation can be made. We suggest that these have potential to contribute to company goals.

Self-organized conversation is a generative process that fosters creativity and deepens relationships, essential ingredients in community building. As individuals, we have the potential to evolve into more conscious and loving human beings, so do social systems, particularly when driven by spiritual, or transcendent values that are self-generated. These values sound a tone that resonates throughout the Conversation, helping to stabilize the experience so that it stays on the level of dialogue, and providing the context for experiences of individual and group transcendence

As discussed extensively in this volume, anemia occurs with increasing frequency as people age. Curiously, a specific explanation for anemia is less readily apparent for older patients and approximately one-third of those with anemia over 65 years of age meet criteria for “Unexplained Anemia” (UA) as defined by Guralnik (1) and Artz (2). Although, by definition, those with kidney disease have an explanation for anemia and would not be considered to have UA, erythropoietin (EPO) insufficiency independent of overt renal excretory failure may be one component of this disorder. Certainly, other factors, including the coexistence of occult inflammatory disease, age-associated cytokine dysregulation (independent of inflammation) and androgen deficiency are also likely to contribute. In this chapter, EPO insufficiency will be considered in the context of anemia in general, and late-life UA in particular.
