Binary minded


- The end of the line

If we only consider things from the polarised view of entrenched thinking, we can only see in two dimensions. Binary thinking cannot help resolve the misdirected situation we have got ourselves into.

If, for example, we only try to address poverty through wealth creation, this is really providing more market fodder; just feeding the machine.

New perspectives around quality of life, self-sustenance and genuine sustainability are needed. But we know that already; it is little more than wheeling out tired platitudes.

How can we re-configure, to use aspects of current practices to achieve positive synergy rather than spiralling downwards with depleting finite resources?

After thousands of years of civilisation is money worship, leisure shopping and celebrity reverence really the best that we can do?
