So I just started this totally awesome job at a think tank called The Arlington Institute, and we do alot of thinking (duh) about global problems. We get into really concrete stuff like the global economy, but also spend alot of time talking about the evolution of human conciousness and where it is all going. What we try to do is think about these issues from an integral, holistic perspective (we are big Spiral Dynamics and Ken Wilber fans).
Right now I am working on the world's biggest problems, which I think are peak oil, climate change, water shortages, collapse of the banking system, terrorism, AIDS, and epidemics. Anyway, I just really love thinking and talking about this kind of stuff with my friends, so this pod is dedicated to talking about real problems and their solutions.
