What I'm thinking about, and planning on writing (and podcasting) about soon:
I'm
working furiously on completing the manuscript for my book on Natural
Enterprise, which is due at the publisher in three weeks. Until then,
articles here will continue to be short, focused and relatively
unambitious.
More Thoughts on Complexity:
The two articles from this week's New Yorker that I referred to in
yesterday's post have got me thinking about coping with complexity,
since that is what they're really about. If it is true that the choices
we make for ourselves in an unregulated environment ('safe' gas-gulping
cars) are radically different from the choices we would make for our
society in a regulated environment (no big or gas-gulping cars allowed
at all), what does this mean for the future of our political processes
and systems? And if investigative journalism shows us facts so damning
that we are baffled about our failure to act (or perhaps more
accurately, our impotence to act) does this explain today's whiny,
do-nothing political echo chambers and our cynicism about activism, and
if so, what can we do about this?
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. They will happen, but not until the book is into the publishers.
Open Thread Question:
Why
is it that, despite the relatively low survival rate of sole
proprietorships, most people who decide to start their own business do
it alone? |
