Coffee and communities
John Robb has very interesting analysis of the state of the world, but I especially enjoyed his short post on the importance of a resilient community during the coming times of tubulence:
John Robb’s Weblog: Coffee and communities
&ellipsis;the center of gravity for resilience against the panoply of systemic threats we will face in the future. Not the home/family (too small). Not the nation-state (too big). The community. In short, your success over the long run (for both you and your kids) will be based almost entirely on how resilient your community is to disruption.
This directly relates to what I’m hoping to achieve with the co-op I live in and the ideas I want to hash out on this blog.
