Half a Million Kids at Woodstock Music and Art Fair, Bethel,

Its
view
counter
says
Conversations For
Transformation
have received
half a million
views.
That's as many
views
as there were kids at Woodstock.
Some friends noticing there's been
half a million
views
say "Half a million people? That's incredible. That's
awesome! Can you
imagine
what half a million people would look like gathered in one place?
I tell them I really have no way of knowing (and
there's no software which has any way of knowing
either) if
half a million
views
equates to half a million people - a scenario which is
actually highly unlikely. A more plausible scenario is many of the
people who've visited the
Conversations For
Transformation
website over the past seven and a half years have revisited it on
more than one occasion. Not only that, but on each visit, they may
have viewed or re-viewed more than one essay - and each time
an essay is viewed it increments the
view
count
by one.
Then they'll kind of like take me behind the barn and
tell me "But you don't have to actually say that,
Laurence. You can leave it unsaid. You can leave it as an
implication. You can leave the innuendo of
half a million
views
as if it's half a million people. Can
you
imagine
a group of people that size engaging in
Conversations For
Transformation?
That's huge!".
