The Next Forest: Episode 19

The next forest is a concept about how to re-build the vibrant economic and social society that we want after the world burns down.

I talk about my perspective on what has caused this. A lack of modernization as we moved from a manufacturing economy to a services economy. Our memorization based education system has re-inforced the wrong skills, and our delegated decision structure in business culture has created a large mismatch between effective work and company functions. What we are seeing are ruptures not cracks.

The episode is inspired by the permaculture strategies I studied in the 90's. I talk about co-operative biological systems in forests and how that may provide a model for rebuilding our economy.

Note: I recorded this with the wrong microphone, it used my computer's microphone instead of the headset. Upon review, I liked the content enough to publish it, but you'll notice a bit of background sounds and a difference from the other episodes.
