Let's repeat that: We are now in a no-analogue world. That means we're somewhere that we've never been before as a human species. We have pushed all of Earth's key systems up to and maybe beyond the safe operating boundaries that defined the Holocene.

Get used to it. The weather may feel like science fiction, but the science underlying it is very real and mundane. It takes only a small increase in global average temperatures to have a big effect on weather, because what drives the winds and their circulation patterns on the surface of the earth are differences in temperature. So when you start to change the average surface temperature of the earth, you change the wind patterns--and then ..

It is so easy to demonize free-market and the freedom to outsource and offshore because it is so much easier to see people being laid off in big bunches, which makes headlines, than to see them being hired in fives and tens by small and medium-sized companies, which rarely makes news.

Everything and anything is raw fodder for creating heat or light. It all depends on the connections you make and insights you surface to buttress your opinion. More broadly speaking, though, I told Bojia, column writing is an act of chemistry--precisely because you must conjure it up yourself. A column doesn't write itself the way a breaking news story does. A column has to be created. This act of chemistry usually involves mixing three bas..

When we got hit with 9/11, it was a once-in-a-generation opportunity to summon the nation to sacrifice, to address some of its pressing fiscal, energy, science, and education shortfalls - all the things that we had let slide. But our president did not summon us to sacrifice. He summoned us to go shopping.

There is mounting performance pressure on all of us--as individuals and institutions. All of this connectivity means significantly lower barriers to entry and movement, accelerating change and the increasing occurrence of extreme, disruptive events, all of which put significant pressure on our institutions ... On a personal level, the example I use is a billboard that used to be up on a highway here in Silicon Valley which asked a simple qu..

But the ancients believed that there was wisdom in patience and that wisdom comes from patience ... Patience wasn't just the absence of speed. It was space for reflection and thought."

Indeed, there is a mismatch between the change in the pace of change and our ability to develop the learning systems, training systems, management systems, social safety nets, and government regulations that would enable citizens to get the most out of these accelerations and cushion their worst impacts. This mismatch, as we will see, is at the center of much of the turmoil roiling politics and society in both developed and developing count..
