I live without cash - and I manage just fine.

by mrobert  10-28-2009   
 I understand his point of view - but there have to be better solutions. We can't all just go into hibernation. And of course, detractors of this plan will say that the caravan and laptop etc. wouldn't be there for him if we were all sitting in his position - who would manufacture them and how? He is very right about the disconnect between creation and purchase of products though - and contaminating the environment. All other animals on this planet understand that the environment is their only connection to life on this planet..... there must a solution for human beings too.

The War On Flow, 2009: Why Studies About Multitasking Are Missing The Point
mrobert
by mrobert  8-31-2009   
 He has a very good point. What we do on media is often more like browsing or grazing - picking up bits here and there to gather into a complete opinion later - than actual multitasking with the intention of getting-things-done.

Immersion in Nature Makes us Nicer
mrobert
by mrobert  8-26-2009   
 Do you think that the more we understand about nature, the more tolerant we become? Maybe it is seeing the larger picture of the planet and the universe and all that it involves makes us look at life differently. What do you think?

We Must Save The Living Environment
mrobert
by mrobert  8-23-2009   
 E. O. Wilson says we must do more than save the plants and animals. 99% of earth's organisms are tiny but extremely important in the functioning of all the larger organisms. If we don't save the minute, we lose it all.

 Article on 'Blogging Innovation' by Mathew May well worth a read in this busy lifestyle we live. As an artist, I have known for years that the times when it looks like I am doing nothing are the times when the most important work takes place.... but it has been really difficult to convince anyone else! Now there seems to be evidence to back that up.
