Beauty of Beginnings - April 8th - Front row seat

Front row seat

Front row seat

We wonder how men make terrible decisions that do untold damage to millions of people.

Yet here we are. A front row seat.

Endless television series and documentaries were made about the Second World War. How we arrived there. The choices that were made. The Little Atrocities that were stepped over. (https://syntropic.world/little-atrocities-the-path-from-integrity-to-self-deception-and-bad-business/)

But history is only relevant if we learn from it.

As the NASA scientists come home from their trip around the moon, the world waits. What home do they come to?

The glamour has been shattered.

Our front row seat has a clear view of the world we agreed to, one Little Atrocity at a time.

On a positive note, now that the illusion has been shattered and the rose-coloured glasses removed, we might build a better world. Not tomorrow, but now.

We begin by examining, with brutal clarity and courage, how the choices we each made might have us be complicit in this moment.

Not me, you might say. I am innocent. And I would say, evil happens slowly, slowly, on our watch, by agreement.

In what we do not say, when we do not speak, when we say yes, or no, or simply do nothing, how we invest, what we buy, read and vote.

Every choice is either towards the good, the true and the beautiful, towards Syntropy, or towards entropy.

I write this not to fill us with shame, rather to restore our agency in our choice-making – the seat of personal power.

April 9th 2026 Love Business Love Business If your business, your life, your work is not about love, then never expect it to fill your life with the things you most yearn for. In our ‘go hard’ success-generating world, it is rare that the topic of love is discussed alongside business. Strange, isn’t it, when we think about it? That the spaces we spend the most time in are so far from love? When you were a kid, did you want to spend your days working at something that did not evoke love? Did...

April 7th 2026 Then our true work in the world begins Then our true work in the world begins No one knows what will happen in the next second. It is in the second that life changes forever. We say yes. Or no. A phone call comes. Someone dies. Someone is born. Something precious breaks. Living on the very edge, the place of unknowing, is a practice. Few people are comfortable in this space. The unknown is so very frightening to many. We plan our days with rigour, ensuring nothing goes bump in...

April 6th 2026 On the justification of atrocities On the justification of atrocities At the core of the deepest expression of violence is dehumanisation. The reduction of life to data points, statistics, animals. (Although, as an animal lover, I find this reduction doubly horrific.) The erasure of anything resembling human. The complete disregard for precious life. The desire to starve, break, bomb, rape, oppress, exploit. It speaks to the humans doing the dehumanising as monsters. There is...
