Again some blogposting
Since some time I feel the need – and the motivation – again to pick up my blog posting. So many ‘Seeds for a happy planet’ pass my screen and come up in conversations, that it feels like wasting them, if I don’t write about it. Not only for you the reader, but also for myself.
Because I notice there is a difference between seeing or reading something and really getting it! To stand still, to reflect on it, and to really harvest it, in order for it to get integrated and available to cook with it, that is the point here. I was reminded of this by a blogpost by my friend Amy. Thanks Amy!
So here are some seeds that I noticed recently.
I’m trying hard, but I don’t remember how I came across…. I knew already that the kingdom of Bhutan is measuring the collective created value in a different and more menaningful way than our GNP. They measure happiness of the people! Seeing in this video that so many people with statistic minds are actually working this out, felt very supportive to me. It gave me a feeling of: others are finding out what I don’t know about! Thanks to these people, and the many others that I never heard about.
One line of inquiry that I hold for myself is around: What could a new financial system or economic model look like? Here is a blog post about how it is going right now, and why it should change in the future. If you have more time you can watch this video, although I knew the basic ideas, I found it still worthwhile watching this.
