"Civilization is in a race between education and catastrophe. Let us learn the truth and spread it as far and wide as our circumstances allow. For the truth is the greatest weapon we have." — H.G. Wells
Why I write
I’m here to poke, provoke, confront and elevate, without the fruitless disputes.**
I ponder about the more numinous experiences of cultural evolution — how do we grasp the spiritual quint-essence beyond material concerns?
I hope to satisfy curious appetites for shaping abundant futures. I like weaving pluralistic stories about emergent situations through earnest provocations.
Where this newsletter floats
This is a contribution towards the ongoing need for cultural literacy training.
It’s a playful and diverse assortment of thoughts, with the prevailing mood of “Oh, that’s good to know!” As it explores the educational nebula of learning and unlearning, beware of arts asteroids from the trivium (grammar, logic, rhetoric) and the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy).
For the aspirant reader
We are surrounded by riddles and poetry and I love to share thinking tools to help others decipher. My eclectic nerd style might sometimes induce a bit of a head-rush or conceptual stretches – I have a fondness for being a cryptic oracle service.
Join me in transitioning from the dismal doubts of “Is this it?”
towards more invigorating reshuffled positions that might exclaim “This is It!”.
