Conversation is thinking in its natural state.
Thinking is the conversation within us....
Words began in human beings in the process
of transforming gregariousness into co-operation.

Not all communication is dialogue. Dialogue is shared exploration towards greater understanding, connection, or possibility. Any communication that fits this definition, the Co-Intelligence Institute considers dialogue. Communication that doesn't fit this definition, we don't call dialogue.
(Note: Some of our colleagues believe that what we call dialogue should be called conversation. See for example, Is "debate" or "conversation" the most useful form of public discourse? by Alan Stewart.)
