Lightning Branches, by Andrew Campbell (a depiction of Now Time)
What I'm thinking about, and planning on writing (and podcasting) about soon:
I've
nearly completed the manuscript for my book on Natural
Enterprise, which is due at the publisher in two weeks. Until then,
articles here will continue to be short, focused and relatively
unambitious. Apologies for not responding to e-mails, and blog comments. I'll get to them later in the summer.
Our Youthful Skeletons:
The NYT has unearthed some letters written by Hilary Clinton in her
youth. I shudder at the thought that this could happen to me, and I
suspect Hilary's not too thrilled either. Now that everything we write
is archived online, what scrutiny, what unfair out-of-context youthful
writings will be dredged up to embarrass and discredit politicians and
celebrities in a generation? Will we one day have the right to purge
the Net of early writing? Will it even be possible?
The Three Seductions of Organized Religion:
Absolution, salvation, and uncritical community. Damned appealing
promises. Are these why so many people continue to belong, even
fervently, to organized religions?
Out of Time:
The realization that time is not linear, is not just a dimension like
the dimensions of space, could change our perception and understanding
of everything. When we spend so much of our life inside our own head,
what happens when the foundation of that life suddenly vanishes? When
we measure our accomplishments, the progress of our lives, in terms of
clock time, what happens when we find that measure is a chimera?
Vignettes: Coming up soon, vignette #5.
Blog-Hosted Conversations:
Starting the last week of August, once a week, this blog will feature
30-minute conversations, initially on the subject of "What is your
model of a better way to live, and what capacities do we need to
develop or re-learn to live that way?"
