I‘ll be out of town and offline for a couple of days, so I thought I’d take a day to think about where to go next with How to Save the World. Therefore please consider this as a kind of ‘open thread’ and tell me what you’d like to see here next. And to provoke your thinking here are four more questions to ponder:
- Without getting into the ethics of the case, and without blaming the media, please explain why so many people care so much about that one singular right-to-die case in Florida?
- What’s a better name for ‘the environment’ that is less separate in connotation from human civilization?
- Why does it break our heart to throw out teddy bears and other stuffed animals, even if they’re not childhood toys with memories attached to them?
- How could we effectively teach online the critical skills that take a lot of practice and one-on-one coaching? I’m referring to skills like effective listening, collaboration, and even meditation. It seems to me our inability to do this well is the greatest limitation today of the Internet as an agent of change.
