  • Good and the Tyranny of Need

    We live in a culture where we have given other people permission to engineer and impose upon us what they need our personal needs to be. When we submit to that contract, advertisers and influences own a big part of… Continue reading

  • Good, Tolerance and the Boulder of Violence

    This Project’s focus on good cannot have much validity unless we address the edges of tolerance and intolerance.  The world has too much evidence of intolerable violence in motion right now.  Our country is going to be pushed to the… Continue reading

  • Good, Suffering, and the Reconstruction of a Culture

    This nation of the United States appears to this writer to have a medical system that leads in the world in reducing the experience of physical pain.  The tragic irony is the United States just might also be a world… Continue reading

  • Good Future Hope and the New Vote Market

    My generation, like all generations, is not innocent.  We accomplished some good things in our time, but we also seem to have not considered sufficiently the needs of future generations with the committed energy needed. Many indigenous societies and cathedral… Continue reading

  • Good, Power and the Human Scale

    Over a life time I have come to understand the famous or influential people I have both admired and encountered as regular human beings, full of vanities, foibles, contradictions, heroic actions, kindness, cruelty, betrayal and often capable of great empathy… Continue reading

  • Good, Delusion, Narrative and Numbers

    When it comes to politics or business, some times the numbers work for you, and sometimes the narrative is the wind in your sails. Either way, narrative and numbers are a single sword with two equally sharp edges. In one… Continue reading
