The earth and human society are perched on the precipice of disaster. Our economic, political, and religious institutions are malfunctioning at the very time that we are in need of coordinated collective action to address global challenges. I believe that we need a radical change in the questions we ask, the way we view and organize our institutions, and how we relate to ourselves and one another. Over the next few weeks, I plan to write a series of entries that explore ideas about both our problems and potential solutions that we can use to address them. Topics that I will discuss include goodness vs. purity, sustainability vs. greed, and pragmatism vs. ideology. I hope you will join the conversation.
