Human Impact

I CRAVE the power to put down here just the word that will let a shaft of true light into the hearts and minds of timid folk who do not seem to realize the potentiality that is implanted in each one of us — singly. These folk write in numbers. They have aspirations and, apparently, the urge to do. But, invariably, they fall back upon the self-analysis: “What am I?” or “I am just one man” or “one woman. What can I do?” Their plaint is always deprecatory, ever disparaging of self: belittling, minimizing, with no conception, apparently, of the seed of divine energy implanted in ...

The future of human civilization is uncertain. Mass starvation, the domination and possible extermination of the human race by nanobots that have gone smart, biological drone-swarms which are more than a physical match for humans combined with mobile decontamination units bearing chemical weapons sufficient to wipe out every living thing. These scenarios have been illuminatingly discussed from an analytical framing point of view in books such as “Our Final Invention” or most prominently in Nick Bostrom’s seminal “Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers Solutions".

No employer wants its employees to be bullied and harassed at the workplace. On the contrary, most employers offer an anti-harassment training to ensure employees understand company policy and legislation on workplace harassment. However, anti-harassment training typically focuses on definitions, rights of employers and employees, and complaint resolution processes. While this information is essential, anti-harassment training fails to allow for an interrogation of participant’s social location, positonality, and intersectionalty (who am I). Moreover, facilitators often teach anti-...

Truth-Driven Thinking is a straightforward examination of human emotion and its impact on everyday life. Emotion impacts healthcare choices, investments, careers, businesses, and virtually every corner of public policy, because it largely defines the nature of public dialogue. Indeed as the old saying goes, conventional wisdom can be more conventional than wise.

First published in 1996, Our Ecological Footprint sets out a powerful model for visualizing and measuring humanity's impact on the Earth - the ecological footprint - with the aim of reducing the harm we are causing the planet before it is too late.
