February 2019

  • For The School of Life, many of us are daily tortured by a feeling of imminent catastrophe. Something terrible seems about to happen to us: we’re going to be abandoned, shamed and humiliated, publicly mocked, lose physical control over ourselves or be seen as a loser. The fear of such imminent catastrophes leads to a state of hypervigilance: where we are permanently on the alert, permanently worried, permanently scared, and permanently really very unhappy. People may try to reassure us, but reassurance goes nowhere; the terror remains.

Imagining values-driven businesses

Submitted by Halcyon Imagines on 24 July 2013

A professor and former dean at the Saïd Business School at Oxford University argued in a 2013 book that corporations should restructure around three key principles:

  • First, articulate clear values: why does the company exist, and what does it believe in?
  • Second, appoint “trustees” to protect the interests of stakeholders and uphold the values of the corporation.
  • Third, restrict voting shares to long-term investors - and he also believes that governments should use the corporate tax system to encourage “public values by private corporations”.

Imagining a "circular economy"

Submitted by Halcyon Imagines on 3 June 2012

"Cradle-to-cradle" organisations claim to be able to dramatically lower their environmental impact and increase their "eco-effectiveness".  This forms part of a wider drive towards a "circular economy", which imagines ways to re-think and re-design the way we make stuff and re-design the way our economy works - designing products that can be 'made to be made again' and powered by renewable energy.
