What I'm Thinking of Writing (and Podcasting) About Soon:
Love, Conversation and Community: I remain convinced that
Whether
you want to change the political or economic system, save the whales,
stop global warming, reform education, spark innovation or anything
else, the answer is in how meaning,
and understanding of what needs to be done, emerges from conversation
in community with people you love, people who care.
So if it seems as if, these days, I don't write about anything else, that's why.
The Evolving Role of the Information Professional:
Since I listed the five major 'products' of my new employer, some
people have suggested that this list might define the new role of the
information professional in all sorts of organizations.
Gangs and the Malleability of Human Ethics:
Observers of the now decade-long intractable genocides and civil wars
in Darfur, Somalia, Chad, Zaire and other African nations describe the
same gang phenomena repeated endlessly: Men horrifically tortured and
slaughtered, women systematically and repeatedly raped, children
kidnapped and forced into slavery and military duty, animals and other
resources stolen, and villages burned to the ground. What is it about
human nature that so many can perpetrate such atrocities for so long
without remorse?
Vignettes #7 and #8
Blog-Hosted Conversation #4:
I'm going to interview one of the women who's lived in a polyamorous
relationship or circle, and who believes that such communities can work
and are the natural way to live, and love.
Now the revisions to
my book on Natural Enterprise are finally in to the publisher, I should
have more time for blogging, and answering e-mails and comments. Thanks
for bearing with me.
Possible Open Thread Question:
What is it about the female
psyche that so many women are willing to sacrifice themselves just to
please selfish thoughtless arrogant men?
