You step outside of your daily routine, experience different values, eat different foods, and make new friends. But such experiences also help you to realize some of the pitfalls of your own society. One of my favorite places to live and work is the Caribbean. People seem much less stressed. They have

It is where we store a lot of our extra dry goods and it also houses our chest freezer. But, despite the size of the shed, it is in a perpetual state of disarray. I have this really bad habit of just closing the door and ignoring it. I sometimes think that our world is a lot like my storage shed, in a perpetual state of

One of the things that humanity does best is to go about our daily business despite warnings that we should change. The reason for this is that we are better at responding to emergencies than we are about planning for the future. As long as life seems good we just keep doing what we are doing and all warnings that we are headed for a cliff are just noise in the background. Climate change is a perfect example. The first seminal paper about climate change was published in 1896. We are now...
