I've always loved Howard Bloom. For some reason, he just seems to make sense. In a world dominated by ridiculous pessimists, Howard can cut through a load of shit and still sound optimistic. These days however, Howard is starting to scare me. A lot.Over the last ten years, he has started releasing articles that have to do with climate change, consumerism, capitalism and our role in the future. All that stuff with solar panels in space directing us energy, Mr. Bloom was there years ago. His recent articles are a far cry from The Lucifer Principal, which could either be the greatest book ever written, or the poorest. These days he's starting to make a great deal of sense, but there's a problem. In the respects that I must agree with him, I really don't want to.
His newest article should prove to be something that may drum up some form of discourse on Knowing,Doing.com
Article Here. Be warned, this blindsided me.
Thoughts, anybody?

Interesting perspective for sure. It seems to me that he offers a sweeping and relevant viewpoint. And to the extent that he suggests a general attitude of preparedness, what's to dispute? Also, it's a lot less boring than the pseudo-scientific statistics litany which these days seems to be the accepted way of thinking about what's happening in the atmosphere.
