But in the meantime, I keep circling back to two quotes: Wittgenstein’s reminder that genuine understanding spurs action, and MacIntyre’s warning that if we don’t know which story … Continue reading Transduction — leading transformation — Issue #162

Bird on fire, tide at rest: paint spilled in the desert

Don Van Vliet: Heinz, you ever hear a tree laugh? I was out in the desert, and this big old Joshua tree was just cracking up, shaking its needles like it knew a joke I didn’t.

My weekly posts So, in 2024, we’re discussing serious local government reform. There’s a new White Paper out. It’s a rational, forward-looking document that cites innovation and leadership, that seems to be the culmination of Treasury’s century-long campaign to ‘make local government make sense’ (to it), and is laser-focused on removing planning obstructions as ‘barriers to growth’. … Continue reading Transduction — leading transformation — Issue #161
