In this article Charles Eisenstein speaks abouta relatioship between current business norms and ecological sustainability. I read into something that I’ve been thinking and saying for some time: I see a future where for-financial-profit incorporations are … well … a thing of the past. There are plenty of other profits to be made … but […]

Charles Eisenstein & Polly Higgins in Olso – November 2013
nA fresh conversation between Charles Eisenstein and Polly Higgins. Having heard them before the talk itself feels like a repeat but the audience questions (almost an hour) brought some new, interesting and fresh things to the surface. I first read about Polly Higgins and her ecocide work in Permaculture one or two years ago. It’s […]
Rupert Sheldrake – The Science Delusion
nI’ve been fairly quiet in terms of blogging for many months. At first it was for lack of energy, then is was for lack of motivation, then, most recently, it was for lack of Internet connectivity – which we have but has been very unstable and frustrating to use (never know when hitting that publish […]

When they laugh at my misfortunes
nA different kind of voice speaking about disenchantment and Africa. Bayo Akomolafe: We Will Tell Our Stories from The Economics of Happiness on Vimeo. I feel similarly about Romania. Romania is much further (then Africa) down the road of enchantment by the western offerings … so it has a lot more to gain through disenchantment […]
Self Control and Facebook
nThis entertaining post on … ummm … how using Facebook can make you fat was brought to my attenion by Matt. However on the heels of completing (yesterday) my first reading of Charles Eisenstein’s Sacred Economics, what caught my attention most was this: “The final experiment of the study found that those people who reported […]

A Beauty that is absent from Apple Products
nI am happy to have found these simple and clear words to describe one reason(there are others) for my cricism, discontent and disassociation with Apple and its products. My arrows are aimed at Apple because it is a prominent company that is perceived to be a thought leader. Yet there are many companies that deserve […]

(Not So) Great Britain Reenacts the Original Robbery
nLast night I was reading more from Charles Eisenstein’s Sacred Economics and came across this in a section titled The Original Robbery: “Property is robbery,” proclaimed Proudhon: tracing back the origin of any piece of property through a succession of “legitimate” transfers, we eventually get to the first owner-the one who simply took it, the […]

Misplaced Gods
n“Three or four thousand years ago the gods began a migration from the lakes, forests, rivers, and mountains into the sky, becoming the imperial overlords of nature rather than its essence. As divinity separated from nature, so also it became unholy to involve oneself too deeply in the affairs of the world. The human being […]

When Hopelessly Radical Becomes Common Sense

Wealth Tax
nI arrived at this article by following a link from Jeff Sachs. In talks about taxing wealth rather then income: “Wealth inequality has worsened for two decades and is now at an extreme level. Replacing the income, estate and gift taxes with a progressive wealth tax would do much more to reduce it than any […]

What is it that stays in business forever?
nI tend to be direct and honest in my life and so when Fred Wilson announced that he was giving a online-course on “How to Stay in Business Forever” I was anxious to hear what he had to say, but even more then his answers I was curious about the questions he would raise around […]
More Charles Eisenstein – July 2012 – London
nI continue to draw joy, inspiration and insight from every talk he gives and is made available online. There is of course repetition, but every talk brings something more with it. This is a recording (audio only) – but a relatively recent one … so it comes with freshness 🙂
