In the absence of a guest I pick up the microphone and go the distance by myself and recount the events that occurred while on my trip to North Carolina. Oh... the things I learned. It was certainly an eye-opening experience and I share my experiences in this episode.

I also tell the tale of what it was like to be inside the halls of one of the nations best B-Schools, Duke University's School of Fuqua. Interesting stuff and worth a listen (or two).

Towards the end I give my rebuttal to the argument that Ol' Two Beers is against Progress. It is utter nonsense that I want to return to the days of yore and I defend myself against such a simplistic view. I think anyone who confronts this very same argument will be armed to the hilt with counter-argument weaponry that is the equivalent of ICBM's just by listening to the last 15 minutes of this podcast.

  • Daniel, in about thirty minutes I will be having that discussion with Dave Pollard of the web-blog "How to Save The World". We will touch on complexity theory and our culture of dependence ( on a complex, not so resilient, system).

  • Steve, I listen to your podcasts frequently and enjoy them. This one was particularly interesting to me as you seem to be getting a little closer to a unifying theme. Might I suggest a study of complexity (or chaos) Theory. It will explain a great deal about our current circumstances and what one may do to deal with a very uncertain future. Thanks for your efforts thus far. Daniel

  • Steve, You mentioned in this podcast that people were inquiring how to download podcasts from your site. To listen to a podcast, all they need to do is click on the "pod" icon to the left of the title of the podcast post. To download the podcast, just right-click the same icon and choose "download linked file" or similar. Best...Jeff

  • Steve, I enjoyed your "meandering" thoughts and a perfect ending with the Talking Heads.
