Here's a cool little video that takes a swing at explaining at least part of the turbulence around us.
I can't stop thinking either about Michel Serres's little piece on how education is not a commodity. He suggests that when you trade a piece of silver for a loaf of bread, you still have a piece of bread and a piece of silver - just in different hands. But when you explain to someone else how to figure out area of a triangle, both of you now know how to figure out the area of a triangle: knowledge grows as it's shared, rather than diminishing. Leadbeater doesn't say that in this video but he points to it. I think that's really interesting.

I love this little video. It's one of the first things I've seen today and I found it inspiring and thought provoking - a great way to start the day. I always really like this style of presentation - it makes you feel like there is always something good coming up next.
Thanks for sharing Charles
