Business Hippie Clubquality of life at the level of systems — economics, rights, the social contract
Across Europe, ancient fires are burning again. Druid gatherings in Ireland. Seasonal festivals in forests. Pilgrimages returning. People dancing around bonfires instead of sitting through another productivity webinar. At first glance, it looks confusing. But underneath the folklore and fire ceremonies sits something much bigger. People are searching for meaning again. Not necessarily religion. Not […]
Moving society beyond GDP toward quality of life as the goal for real progress For decades, society has treated economic growth as the main proof of progress. GDP became the big number – the scoreboard governments, cities, institutions, and businesses point to when they want to show that things are moving. But life is not […]
Why public life is still asking bigger questions than the content world answers. When I scroll through LinkedIn and other media channels, I often see the same pattern coming back again and again.
