Update: We will do our best to webcast the event again via Ustream.tv on the Future Salon Channel: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/Future-Salon
Anticipating our Wednesday Future Salon, I asked our speaker Dino
Karabeg three questions. Here are his answers:
1. What is the single thing that everyone can do that has the
greatest
lever for change into a positive direction?
Create trimtabs for systemic change. I will take one half hour to
explain what this means and to plead my case, then I will give the
participants a chance to either challenge it, or to roll up our sleeves
and begin doing it.
2. What is the greatest danger you see for us?
I believe that our greatest danger is that we may be engaging in
contemporary problematique in a symbolic way, to use Murray Edelman's
expressive term. What if we may be recycling our trash and perhaps even
riding bicycles (as I myself do), and as result receiving all the
biochemical rewards of right-doing, while at the same time avoiding to
raise to the challenges that are presented to us? I will invite the
Future Salon members to a bit of meta-thinking and meta-design –
What can you and I do that really can lead to a radical positive shift?
I will raise this question by proposing a candidate answer.
3. What is your greatest hope?
My motivation is an anticipation of the next Renaissance. I even dare
believe that I can see how this might happen in some detail. But I have
ethical qualms about focusing my speech on this enticing vision,
because there is still some work that we need to do to make it possible.
This is why I chose this rather technical title.
Join us this Wednesday, 6:00 PM, at SAP Palo Alto. Please RSVP.
