We participate in the forming of the future by virtue of our capacity to conceive of and respond to new possibilities, to bring them out of imagination and try them in actuality. ~ Rollo May

The 60-year-old political philosopher on the reading, growing up in a Jewish family and the moral limits of markets
Jerry Buchko's insight:
"Philosophy can be debilitating. It demands a critical sensibility, and to try to apply that to everything can be a very disquieting thing – the disquiet is necessary, even if you are unmoored by it."
One of my favorite quotes... :)

It's pretty clear that money can't buy you happiness, and generally speaking we're pretty bad at predicting what else will. If you've ever wondered exactly why that is, the BBC takes a look at how numbers change our expectations.

Jerry Buchko's insight:
I found this talk to be fascinating on many different levels. Lots to consider in here on the topics of collaboration, collaborative spaces, societal structures, personal motivation, and even some very sticky fundamental problems on the level of economics.
One very interesting practical challenge that I see... how do you get these collaborative efforts beyond the point where they are dependent upon subsidy and become economically self-sustaining or, to use personal finance language, financially independent? And from there, how can that be further evolved so that it becomes as ubiquitous and viable an option of organizing work and our economy as the default we operate within now?
I came across this discussion because it was included in this interesting bit of musing by +nathan jurgenson @ +The Society Pages, _Silicon Valley’s Anti-Capitalism-Capitalism_: http://thesocietypages.org/cyborgology/2013/05/21/silicon-valleys-anti-capitalism-capitalism/?utm_source=feedly

Making distributed teams feel local
Jerry Buchko's insight:
Here's an example of how even a relatively crude, 2D virtual construct can invoke a sense of shared space for distributed teams. How much richer an immersive experience both aesthetically and functionally would a 3D environment be... especially if you didn't have to recreate a cubicle farm office setting for people to inhabit. ;D

Jerry Buchko's insight:
This audio podcast is about 49 minutes long and it was well worth the investment in time & attention: http://www.thersa.org/__data/assets/file/0019/1017208/20130221StewartLansley.mp3 ;
Stewart Lansley examines the data and what it suggests about the doctrine that holds inequality as a necessary condition for economic progress. A clear & careful analysis, along with an excellent Q&A session where he thoughtfully - and I think effectively - fields responses from critical audience members in a way that helped to advance the discussion.
You can also see the slides of the data he cites via the shorter, edited video of the highlights from his talk here: http://www.thersa.org/events/video/vision-videos/the-inequality-crisis

Jerry Buchko's insight:
A very cool & thought provoking thesis video presentation. It explores the possibilities when the digital emerges even more into grounded reality via the interaction between augmented reality & architectural space. In the meantime, these are also some really great ideas that can be explored in the design & creation of immersive, virtual coworking & other community spaces.
