The Foundations of a World that Works for Everyone
I need to limber up a bit and forget the problems of the world for a day. Let’s imagine this is a whiteboard and we’re recording, just off the top of our heads, what some of the basic postulates of a world that works might be. (1) Without commenting. Just brainstorming. (1) Self-knowledge is the […]
