Open Thinking

Thinking that challenges or sidesteps the common model of modern society, about open culture, permaculture, alternate lifestyles or whatever. I might agree with some of it and disagree with the other, but one thing I agree with is that there should be more space in our societies for alternate choices, be they nomadic or economic or whatever, whether we understand them or not.

“No one is in control. Obama isn’t getting anything done, despite being the most powerful person on the planet, because he can’t. The ‘leaders’ aren’t going to deal with climate change or peak oil or pandemic disease or unsustainable debts, because no one has the power or authority to do anything, and because it would be political suicide to admit that the only solutions that might work will be radical, painful, and require a lot of sacrifice from everyone. So all you get is posturing, and it’s just going to get worse. This is what unsustainable means.”
