I always think of McGilchrist when I look at your top down/bottom up framing, Ed. There may be a connection to Left Hemisphere/exploit/apprehend/part and Right Hemisphere/explore/comprehend/whole. https://www.sloww.co/left-brain-right-brain-hemispheres/. Good luck in the mountains.

There is a definite correlation. It is difficult to be right-brain intuitive when the structure of work is filled with abstractions.

Are you familiar with Elinor Ostrom's work on polycentric governance in relation to the tragedy of the commons. I think her work will align well with your intuitions.

Thank you, Ed. I appreciate both the wider lens and the on-the-ground view you've shared here. I couldn't agree more, these are the two global forces in contention. What a time to be alive. I wish you well.

It is a dramatic moment in human history. More so because we each can both report on what we see and act on what we want to change. It isn't easy. But it necessary.

Thank you for your comment.
