Hello Reader, This week in PROOF, we are going to look at the Future of Cities and some of the great thinking and work that is happening in regards to how we might rethink the way we live together. As human beings moved from nomadic life to agrarian life, the first cities were built. These...Continue Reading

Hello Reader, From greenwashing to cancel culture to RINO finger pointing we are living through a hyperbolic era of double speak. Propaganda and deception aren’t new or even, for most of us, surprising. What is new is that so much of it is very obvious and not even thinly hidden. The lies aren’t meant to...Continue Reading

Hello Reader, You are one of the first generations of the hyper-media age, an age where every second of the day some story is coming at you from all corners of the globe. Some as short as a tweet and others long reads, streaming series and documentary films. Content of every kind from every angle...Continue Reading

Hello Reader, I just scheduled a COVID vaccination. I found myself thinking about things I might “get back to” doing, like travel, group exercise classes, and eating indoors at restaurants. I have to say, after the last year it all feels a little foreign. Not bad, just foreign. A thought came to me – rather...Continue Reading

Divisive yes, but in the context of the brutal history of humanity, this is a time that is certainly less divisive than the average. World War I and WWII combined resulted in over 87 million deaths. Now that’s divisive....Continue Reading

Hello Reader, Are you ready to Bold.ly reimagine human life on this planet? I feel we all want to answer “yes” to that question.  After all, isn’t that the right answer? Isn’t that what’s needed now? But for some of us, considering how seemingly hard it is to make even small changes, reimagining human society, culture,...Continue Reading

Hello Reader, A friend of ours recently told us we were lucky because we have something positive to focus on during the pandemic, generating a thriving future for humanity. True enough, working on big hard problems by envisioning a future and then boldly taking action puts everything in a different perspective. You have to deal...Continue Reading

Hello Reader, For the great expanse of human history most of us have lived lives that stretch from day to day with little change.  When disruption came, it was likely existential – war, famine, drought, earthquakes etc., bringing an end to the day-to-day world and often to life itself.   Today we live in the age...Continue Reading
