    A Next Big Idea Club "Must Read" for August 2025! 
     
    Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." 
     
    The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. And we optimistically cling to a narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing. 
     
    It's past time to free ourselves from our dangerous and dogmatic faith. Such unwarranted optimism will accelerate our disintegration. If we want to have hope for the future, it must be grounded in a recognition of human limits—a view Scranton calls ethical pessimism. 
     
    Scranton describes the challenges we face in making sense of our predicament, from problems in communication to questions of justice, from the inherent biases in human perception to the difficulties of empirical knowledge. What emerges is a challenging but hopeful proposition: if we have the courage to accept our limits, we may find a way to embrace our future.

    This history of Western philosophy, published in 1920, explores the ways mankind has explained the natural world during the last few centuries, whether by spiritual interpretation or through advances in science. From the Preface: "The chapters which follow are not intended as even a slight sketch of the history of Thought since the Renaissance. Their object is more modest, i.e. to illustrate the thesis that mankind, being 'incurably religious,' insists (however hopeless the enterprise may sometimes seem) upon interpreting the universe spiritually." (Summary by LA Walden and the Preface)

    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (October 4, 1822 - January 17, 1893) was the 19th president of the United States, serving from 1877 to 1881. Hayes, a staunch abolitionist, left a fledgling political career to join the Union army as an officer. He was wounded five times, earning a reputation for bravery in combat, and rising in the ranks to serve as brevet major general. After the war, he served in Congress from 1865 to 1867 and was elected governor of Ohio, serving two consecutive terms from 1868 to 1872 and half of a third two-year term from 1876 to 1877 before his swearing-in as president. The following is a reading of President Grant's inaugural address delivered on March 05, 1877.

    Gordon Menzies was in the room as bankers, economists and Cabinet members deregulated Australia’s economy. And he was personally shaped by a greater, cultural, deregulation — the sexual revolution. Menzies argues that both changes are part of the same hard-line movement: Western Fundamentalism. As our economies and families are in flux, it’s time to question the assumptions that got us here.  
    Are you prepared to challenge your fundamentals?
