Energising Beautiful Questions


The world is complex, ambiguous, and random. Our capacity for understanding our own world is limited to the experiences we have had, and knowledge we have built. The “Curse of Knowledge” is that it is incredibly hard to unlearn embodied understanding. To see squiggles where now you see words. To remember what it feels like to not know something that now seems obvious. This is why I believe in bottom-up empowerment. Complexity is fine with lots of little feedback loops. The stuff we understand but can’t explain nudges progress along if we cooperate, and consent. A Universal Basic Income would provide everyone with the Financial Security to have a starting voice. Working on the generic concept of Endurance and Resilience means you don’t need big answers. You can just release lots of beautiful questions by energizing the creativity of individuals and communities.
