The Nine Revolutions of Democracy
How Micah Bornfree's Unified Theory of Revolution combined with a dimension of time might could help us make sense of the work confronting us and keep us moving toward the nation we need.
Proximity to precarity
Inequality is making society less creative and makes embracing an abundance mindset (much less an abundance agenda) more difficult.
Weekend Edition: AI-powered vs AI-empowered
In the breathless race to become an ai-powered society, have we missed the step of becoming AI-literate enough to be AI-empowered without becoming AI-driven?
More analysis on what happened in 2024 that might point to why
