Community Open Space
Chris Corrigan led us through a Community Open Space on Bowen today. Some very very encouraging results. We all have skin in the game. But Wes' point holds.

Since 1971
Social scientist Herbert Simon wrote in 1971
IN AN information rich world, the wealth of information means the death of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence the wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.
- quote pulled from Chris Anderson's latest book, Free.
Back to the perfection of wisdom.
