I still fully embrace slow traditional culture in the first chart -- particularly when it is such a stark contrast to the dopamine culture we find ourselves in.

Ironically, by slowing down, we can go faster.

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder. In noise rather than sound.” — Fred Rogers

When we have a chance to reflect, enjoy the sounds, and immerse ourselves in wonder, we're more likely to learn. About the world, about others, and about ourselves.

Reflection leads to meaning, meaning becomes learning, and that informs our decisions.

Maybe this is a natural correction to the over consumption and McMansions you wrote about last week. Unfortunately it widens the wealth gap.

So smart! So what is this all doing to frame our ability to truly understand our worlds?

Thank you Rishad.

Is there enough examination of time in this piece? Or is Chronos just accepted. The ancient Greeks had two definitions millennia ago.

Should we have advanced?

Time for ancient Greeks:

“Chronos” is measured and counted, while “kairos” is lived and experienced.

Kairos- moments, the right moment, the opportune moment. The perfect moment. The world takes a breath, and in the pause, before it exhales, fates can be changed.
