The Five Horseman of the Coming Conference Reckoning

Great post Nathaniel. This feels like the problem that wont go away. Some how the benefits are not lining up with the costs (the supply with the demand?). I am hoping to attend the Opportunity Collaboration this year. I would also suggest the Web Of Change event: http://webofchange.com/. It also really seems that the act of collaboration is too ad hoc, too given to serendipity or faith. We need collaboration markets. Are folks like the Interaction Institute involved in social enterprise collaboration. http://www.interactioninstitute.org/

The Return of the "Noble Savage" and the Danger of Romanticized Debate

A brilliant post Nathaniel. thank you. a great way to start my day. My favorite moments:

The David Wallace Quote: "The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day."

And your quote: "We just don't have time for conversations that drag us into a dialectic between romantic ideologies and don't advance us towards real learning, real understanding, and a greater capacity for a more healthy 21st century."
