In the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada…


There are these shale fields, just brimming full of little critters that outlived their environment. They did not adapt and they died. There are thousands and thousands of them; with each of them being a viable biological unit for a particular environment, but, when that environment changed they did not and they ceased to exist.

The theory of complex adaptive systems in simple terms is you learn or you die. All of this to get to the point, maybe, just maybe it is time that we start that journey down the fitness map and across to another hill upon which we can prosper. I’m not talking about parties or immediate results, it takes a long time and you have to leave everything old behind and start to build a different system.

The current system gives every indication of being untenable…the planet is under assault, the biological units who is carried by that planet is under assault….maybe it is time to question the qualifications of the system.

Just a thought.
