“One lives a good life through making good decisions and continually going to that place in you where you find your good.”

—The Good Decision Project

The Next Democracy

Given the critical times we are in this Project has proposed a very short, succinct body of language to re-introduce the idea of democracy to the 21st Century. We no longer can afford to compete for points on the scale of mutual hatred. We must find language that addresses the critical stress point of democracy in our world today.

  • Good, Artificial Intelligence, and Faith

    I concluded my last over-long post with the sentence: “Our world’s trouble right now is not that AI is becoming more competitively human;  it is that humans are becoming more like AI”.  I work each day with a Rubik’s cube knowing that… Continue reading

    The Vocational Relationship represents the second ring of the Developmental triad in this series of Postings. I apologize for the slightly longer Post here, but the vocational is often the least understood in terms of its relationship to both Nurturance… Continue reading

  • Developmental Community Part II: Nurturance Community

    In Part I of this series I talked about how if things do not follow a healthy course we can develop tragic scotomas or blinds spots to our sense of Good, which includes blindness to the experience of trust, if… Continue reading

  • Developmental Community Part I: Good’s Scotoma

    Oddly enough, one way of looking at the developmental cycle of the human is to see birth and early growth as a slow, steady separation journey of creation from the origin’s pure, sacred inarticulate unity of infancy while maintaining over… Continue reading
