Sunday Open Thread - January 28, 2007 What I'm planning on writing about soon: Experience-Based Decision Making: It seems an obvious choice, until you understand why the alternatives hold sway. Finding & Working With Others to Save the World: Ways to enable billions to sync with us, on their own terms, in their own context, developing their own plan of action, and then to connect and collaborate in powerful ways, in experiments and in creating and refining working models in their own self-selected communities, so that they no longer need the systems that are destroying our world. Intentional Community: Related to the above, how a stewardship model might come into effect, evolving to replace the ownership model. MRSA and Prion Diseases: A greater threat than Poultry Flu? What's Holding Us Back: Our modern society's three-way tension between falling into the Centre, progressing to the Edge, and just giving up. Finding Our Way Home: How can we hope to find it when we don't know where it is, or whether it even any longer exists? The Mainstream Media Model: Ignore and under-report every issue until it reaches a threshold of public attention despite that under-reporting, and then hype the hell out of it, using absurdly oversimplified dichotomies, until the public gets tired of it. What I'm thinking about: My health, again. I'm working through my first flare-up of colitis since I was first diagnosed last summer. This time it does not appear to have been triggered by stress (my stress level is lower than it has been in a long time), and there have been no significant changes to my diet, exercise regime, medication or anything else. So I'm perplexed. What unknown environmental poisons are confusing my immune system? How about you? 12:40:44 PM  trackback []  comment []
