Upcoming Meeting Prompt -- World Enough, and Time ...
Our next meeting will take place at 9:30 am, April 22, at the Central Branch of the Lexington Public Library. The room will be the same, Conference Room C on the 4th floor.
First. let me say that our last meeting was fantastic, in my view. I hope everybody else there got as much out of it as I did. Maybe the secret is to talk about our personal views on our own philosophies.
In that light, I have been inspired again by Sallie Prewitt's OLLI group, Living in the Moment.
Sallie brought to me this news clip about billionaire think tank creators, and a new instance of the phenomenon [Nicholas Berggruen*]. Well-known examples would be Bill Gates, Andrew Carnegie, and Alfred Nobel.
It caused me to wonder, if I had world enough, and time, what one thing would I do first to implement my own philosophy and its degree of adoption in the real world?
* The NY Times article is a bit weak, perhaps a bit like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Hi! We caught up with Johnny Depp at the Cannes Film Festival, and we managed to ask him about "Kites for Whirled Peas." But philosophically I like the mental exercise of putting myself in Berggruen's shoes.
