How Ignorance Fuels the Evolution of Knowledge

What is love after all but trusting in the unknown.

- Marty Rubin -

How Ignorance Fuels the Evolution of Knowledge

"In the fifth century BC, long before science as we know it existed, Socrates, the very first philosopher, famously observed, 'I know one thing, that I know nothing.' Some 21 centuries later, while inventing calculus in 1687, Sir Isaac Newton likely knew all there was to know in science at the time -- a time when it was possible for a single human brain to hold all of mankind's scientific knowledge. Fast-forward 40 generations to today, and the average high school student has more scientific knowledge than Newton did at the end of his life. But somewhere along that superhighway of progress, we seem to have developed an indifference to the unknown knowable. Yet it's the latter -- the unanswered questions -- that makes science, and life, interesting." { read more }

Two Quick Judo-Joy-Chops

There are no traffic jams when you go the extra mile.

- Zig Ziglar -

Two Quick Judo-Joy-Chops

"I was on my way to the post office. I hadn't found a parking place on my first pass up the street and was now making a left turn into a small parking lot in order to loop back towards the post office. It's a tight space and there's a mail box set up right inside the lot so people can pull in, roll down their window and reach out to stick a letter into the box without getting out of their cars." When the car ahead of the author stops in front of the mail box, a routine post-office errand turns unexpectedly into much more... { read more }

Love is the Answer

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

- Charles Dickens -

Love is the Answer

Filmmaker Ian Watt had an epiphany: today's creatively-oriented young generation could make great things happen by linking artistic talent with change-making movements. This film tells the story of the organization he started to help youth serve the world with art. But it also shows Ian's first experiment in change-making, as he used his filmmaking skills to help bring attention to K.I. Nepal, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking of young girls. { read more }

How beautiful can life be? We hardly dare imagine it.

- Charles Eisenstein -

The Spirit of Gift

A gift. It is a simple gesture of care. Like an open palm, it is an invitation to connect ... But can it be more than that? Can gifts restructure our monetary system? In a recent interview, teacher and writer Charles Eisenstein shared insights from his own journey with a gift-economy.
