VOODOO:-)

Woke up this morning with a word in my head - SAYERGOES – its not even a word. So I Googled it. Nothing too interesting until... there it is. A BOOK - "Contested Worlds: An Introduction To Human Geography" by Martin Phillips. Gotta get it. The link went right to page 50 and this is what I read. CRAZY VOODOO:-)

Read the first two paragraphs on page 50 and decided to buy it. The concepts align perfectly with some of the ideas I've had in the past and I look forward to expanding on these ideas...

New Humanism?

Enjoyed the realistic description of  "Economic Man" - it sings of a deep look into the processes that have been relied upon for eons. I am very much surprised that the gentleman is from the U.S. but he is also a Landscape Architect. It seems to me that in the U.S. the notion of "Human Geography" is not as prevalent as in Europe but our Landscape Architect professionals seem to embody an overlapping interest.

The fulcrum of a Zealot...

“Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth” - is now a New York Times best seller. Love the example of the "hype curve" and its results. Not to mention the protection of tribal symbols that generates interest in a topic that did not exist before. It seems  based on a fundamental communication model that attacks opposing ideas as threatening - this fits a tribalistic social model perfectly and if plotted on a "hype curve" seems to ride on a much bigger sine wave.

Crossroads: Labor Pains of a New Worldview | FULL MOVIE

This online movie was so interesting to me - it combined a lot of social elements into a very creative composition. I was in a rental apartment on the 15th floor in Washington DC on a temporary assignment. It was a post from a gentleman I follow on Facebook - Joe Brewer. He is a social change strategist and facilitator of idea implementation for people seeking to innovate at the intersection of the advocacy, policy, and technology worlds. In other words - we have similar. As I watched it on my little phone, I became annoyed with the size and moved to watching it on my laptop. It is a full length feature so I soon grew tired of this small screen too - so I ended up hooking my laptop to the tv using an HDMI cable - perfect. Watched enthralled the entire time.
