Colima? Tecoman? Can remember much. But I do think there were dragons there :)

Hey Terence,

Turns out you were in Colima, after all (Tecoman) :)

A good tent is like a friend. I loved what you have written here, it was beautiful.

Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 106:1

Uh oh. The date of this post may suggest it had something to do with a certain meeting. Was it pain?

Comment on Meanwhile on the back of a very small envelope… by Tom

Hey Terence,

I enjoyed your post, even if you can’t snap your fingers and prove your points to the Nth degree.

Consider also, indications that the world’s richest populations and individuals would not be any less happy, if pulled back to an average of 8730 USD. (You may be familiar with Diener and Diener’s or Seligman’s views on the subject -with too many links to choose from.)

Of course the subject gets very utopian and overly-ambitious etc, but so were dreams of abolishing slavery and developing relatively peaceful democracies -neither of which have been realised to a totalitarian degree).

For my two cents, your back-of-envelope scratchings broach material and ideas which are vitally important; albeit relatively un-supported by the systems that be.
