A world moving in time

This page is another attention directing tool.

It asks our brain to recall (and connect to) a few of the prior periods in the human condition and ask what it means for us.

We are embedded in a changing external situation that is often hard to see at the time. We may see the immediate tactical changes around us, but there is a larger meta or strategic system that is also in motion.

We need a work approach that is adequate to the challenges ahead.

Where could we see these prior conditions?
