Hi Tom, great piece. Speaking of integration, have you spent time with Michael Green’s analysis of the cost of living? If not, check out his most recent summary, which coincidentally features the Greek letter Tau as a proxy for social tax/redistribution policy. The world is indeed integrated!
I saw this thanks Megan. All the counter discourse kind of missed the point that it went viral because raising two kids anywhere nice is basically living on hard mode. Especially now we violated that 150 tribal group. Kyla’s piece about it linked within was awesome!
Synchronicity abounds Tom! This has been an active thread of discussion in Speira recently.
The way I’m thinking about practical implementation comes down to a pairing of (as you say) individual agency, but ideally combined with structures that ensure integrity.
We’re thinking about how infrastructure might enable service to the greater good (or the Tao). Ie can we better clarify and support what this might look like in practice, especially to prevent perverse outcomes within a system that incentivises profit above all.
I recently came across quite an awesome real world example of integrity through governance: Shinzen Young, once lifelong meditation master, is now a corporate advisor stewarding a biotech firm. A very cool glimpse of how wisdom and modern institutions might begin to integrate.
This is great Tom, but holy moly - I CAN-NOT-WAIT for Eric's book 😆
If I could buy equity in a book…

Big things are happening!
I loved the idea of Chief philosophy Officer that Peter Limberger briefly had. Bit takes an enlightened founder to even consider it…
