On knowing what we want

'Occupy' Protests Standing Up to Reaganism - NYTimes.com: "Even the energized protesters in Zuccotti Park know their left-leaning populist movement has found its complaint — “we are the 99 percent” — but not its remedy. They heard as much from Slavoj Zizek, the best-selling Slovenian philosopher, who was this week’s celebrity intellectual speaker: “We know what we do not want. But what do we want?”"

This complex of blogs contains some and will contain more of what we want. Look first at Beyond Pattern Language in the list of blogs to your right. Then the Noxious Oil and Sprawl World blogs. Then maybe Revaluing Values. Look most anywhere else. It all hangs together. We want a world where there is a balance between things and where the goals of community and personal fulfillment are not at odds. We want a world based on non-idolatry, tolerance, democracy and helpfulness.
