I think energy is the most important, (0th degree), difficult, complex and genuinely wicked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problem) problem today. As an active participant of the cold fusion movement/researchfrom its very start I know many asp…
One factor is the "pan effect" (i think its called that).
Burning fossil fuel, aircraft etc increases ash etc. in the atmosphere blocking out sunlight and slowing the rate of water evaporation.
This is insidious because it tends to cancel out the…
I think genius distinguishes humans from other animals. Lack of positive intellectual, social, emotional and creative stimulation from the environment limits that genius. We need a better environment in which each person’s genius gets the maximum st…
Two degrees limit: In July leaders of the world’s 17 biggest greenhouse gas emitters agreed on a ceiling for global temperatures. They pledged to join forces to ensure that our planet won’t warm more than 2 ˚C (3,6 ˚F) above pre-industrial levels.
Hi Rees
Indeed, scoring and proving points are out of the question. But I don't think we merely want to understand, we actively want to design movement forward. But for me it is important that we start with the red hat, to make sure what everyone fe…
So much so, Rees, that I believe schools should be made at least one of the Houses of Parliament. Homework should always deal creatively with real problems and challenges of the day. Resulting ideas, also of those in the other Houses, should ultimat…
Indeed, Rees! Dawkins looks backwards and then attacks every present religions person mercilessly! He is, I believe, now even organising Atheist campaigns against them! But if he wants to look back at the past, he forgets that suppressions, oppressi…
Sorry for jumping in! Richard Dawkins created the concept in his book The Selfish Gene. Susan Blackmore followed it up with her book, The Selfish Meme. Richard Brodie wrote a delightful book, The Virus of the Mind, also based on Dawkin's meme. Much…
William, I like to think about nature in terms of genes and of culture in terms of memes!
Though the arrogant and blind faith in Atheism by its creator, Richard Dawkins, disappoints me gravely.
How can such an intelligent and wise man become so ch…
If those scientists and technologists involved in the planning and manufacturing of the German gas chambers in WW2, as well as those involved in the American nuclear bombs, could only start thinking with their red hats on!
Unfortunately what happen…
Halo Mr Leon,
I have always wondered and marveled at how irresponsible leadership creates untold suffering in Sub-Saharan Africa. An elitist view of this part of the world sees religion, social institutions, governments and the political mode and the media as configured to execute absolute rip-off of the peasantry. In confronting such a scenario as a necessity of survival are there moral limits to the entire spectrum of options. These answers are sought among increasing populations with increasing urgency ...
Hi Leon - sorry for any offence my Bonto may have caused. I meant it light-heartedly and was hoping that you, Frans and I would have a laugh about it - in fact I had 'What ever will be will be ' lined up as a 3rd line too - so you beat me to it ! And it could be that Frans had a completely different line - we shall see..
Hope everting is OK

Welcome to the debonosociety, I hope we can provide you with a good experience.
It would be great if you could add some profile information to your text box on your page (even a small amount of information) in order to help others converse more easily with you, a photo would be great too.
When we update the site with podcasts we will let you know. Be sure to check in regularly for Edwards updates.
Please feel free to invite all your business associates and colleagues to join. This is an information based website for people to learn from too.
It is our intention to make a part of the site more information based for people new to de Bono and who may just want to ask questions, we are working on this.
