To live is to know: I can't pretend that I understood in a very deep way the Capra article but even with a superficial grasp of the concepts, it seems to make so much common sense that I wondered why it was a breakthrough concept. For some reason, the article made me think of the image that compares the human neuron cell and the "universe".
Memory & magic: I want to learn more about the secrets of magic! This article also makes me want to go see a magic show to see if I can spot the "tricks"
Carbon footprint: I took the carbon foot print quiz (even though it was a bit difficult having to convert pounds to dollars, etc!) This was the second time I've taken one of these and both times, I've been at about 1/2 of the U.S. average - okay but not great. The major thing I have going for me is that I don't own a car and walk 90% of the time. However, I do eat out a lot and also take several longer trips a year. I'm not normally much of a shopper and being in school is helping even more since I have less money!
What a very interesting picture. All I can say is WOW! In so many ways we are like our world. In so many more ways we are part of it.

ReplyDeleteI love the comparison between the nerve and the universe! Quite awesome to consider how the nano world is often simply a reflection of the macro world.
