Dave a lot of scientists are restricted by their discipline. You know, myopic. Maybe we should call out for a generalist

I have been searching for a wise generalist people I heard about, but am having trouble locating that tiny hill tribe, so I guess the best I can do is that animal book . Sorry!

Oh damn Dave, that faint last hope for mankind, that wise generalist people, I am afraid they ran into a cannibal tribe that specializes in supplying Solyent Green for the local market. Bugger!

My goal in life is to become somewhat of a Renaissance man so I am hoping to join the tribe of those that take the long and overall view of things. My view with climate change is you are not going to get people to stop burning co2 because their lives depend on it, believe it or not most of the people today are indirectly biomass from fossil fuels. Climate change is certainly happening and is going to create profound problems for humanity but ultimately we cannot deviate from that path unless we make profound changes to the way we live and have society set up. Jeff Vail is my favorite wise generalist and his rhizome network idea's are brilliant.
