Sunday Open Thread -- July 15, 2007 Long-term exposure photo by the Hubble telescope of a tiny fragment of the sky, showing about 1500 galaxies. Wow! What I'm thinking about, and planning on writing (and podcasting) about soon: Learning in Community by Apprenticeship: More on Ivan Illich's friend Gustavo Esteva's article about how institutional education is hopelessly dysfunctional and how self-managed, community-based, learn-by-doing apprenticeship is the most effective way to learn to make a living. I'm thinking about this in the context of working naturally and Natural Enterprise. Vignettes: Coming up soon, vignette #5. Blog-Hosted Conversations: Plan is for 30-minute conversations, once a week, on the subject of identifying and acquiring the essential skills and relationships we need to be models of a better way to live, and what those models might look like. Still not ready for this: just recording a reading of blog articles is lame, and conversations need a lot of work. Open Thread Question: What is the one thing you most want to accomplish before you die? Are you actively working to achieve it? If not, what's holding you back? 10:18:46 PM  trackback []  comment []
