Brennpunkt: Kampen om tiden

Våre ledere ber oss om å jobbe mer for å berge velferdsstaten i fremtiden. Samtidig har nordmenn hatt en eventyrlig vekst i materiell levestandard og mange ønsker å gjøre det motsatte, nemlig ha mer fri med familie og venner. Kan vi det? Hva skjer med velferdsstaten hvis vi gjør det?

Beyond resilience: Toward “antifragile” urbanism

We can prepare for the inevitable occurrence of "Black Swan" events by developing structures that, when these events occur, “have more upside than downside.

But getting “too big to fail” is precisely what's going on all over the place today. (The banking crisis is a case in point.) “Modernity,” Taleb says, is dominated by a culture of specialists who are rewarded for excessive intervention, and for predictions that are routinely worthless. The big reward for them is not in creating antifragility or even resilience, but stability — or, more accurately, its appearance. Then, when disaster strikes, these specialists, who have very little “skin in the game,” pay a very small price, if any. The result is that there is no learning. We go back to making structures that are “too big to fail.”

Dark Age Ahead is a 2004 book by Jane Jacobs describing what she sees as the decay of five key "pillars" in North America: community and family, higher education, science and technology, taxes and government responsive to citizen's needs, and self-policing by the learned professions.

She argues that this decay threatens to create a dark age unless the trends are reversed. Jacobs characterizes a dark age as a "mass amnesia" where even the memory of what was lost is lost.

Bondesolidaritet er en bevegelse som er sprunget frem fra grasrota i norsk landbruk, fra bygdesamfunn og kommuner der landbruket er helt avgjørende for framtida.

  Bondesolidaritet har fra første dag hatt et internasjonalt perspektiv. Dette handler nemlig ikke bare om norske bønder og norsk landbruk, men om bøndenes situasjon i så godt som alle land. Det er krise i landbruket i Sverige og Danmark også. Bøndene sliter som bare det i Tyskland og Holland. Landbruket i den fattige del av verden utnyttes og utbyttes.

  Vårt klare mål er å skape en kraft her i landet, som kan og skal spre seg langt utenfor Norges grenser slik at vi ikke bare får norske bønder til å stå sammen, men bønder til å stå sammen på tvers av landegrensene i et felles krav om rettferdighet. Der noen går foran, kommer mange etter. Derfor er det viktig at noen bønder og noen bondeaksjoner blir eksempler for verden. Vi har tenkt å bli akkurat dét

Jared Diamond: How societies can grow old better

There's an irony behind the latest efforts to extend human life: It's no picnic to be an old person in a youth-oriented society. Older people can become isolated, lacking meaningful work and low on funds. In this intriguing talk, Jared Diamond looks at how many different societies treat their elders -- some better, some worse -- and suggests we all take advantage of experience.

Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business (1985) is a book by educator Neil Postman. He was participating in a panel on George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and the contemporary world. In the introduction to his book, Postman said that the contemporary world was better reflected by Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, whose public was oppressed by their addiction to amusement, than by Orwell's work, where they were oppressed by state control.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World

Brave New World Revisited  was a non-fiction work in which Huxley considered whether the world had moved toward or away from his vision of the future from the 1930s. He believed when he wrote the original novel that it was a reasonable guess as to where the world might go in the future. In Brave New World Revisited, he concluded that the world was becoming like Brave New World much faster than he originally thought.
