Agreed: the potential implications are vast. It's actually a bit surprising that there is less discussion about it (on the 6 o'clock news, for example). I wonder why there hasn't been anything written about the potential (decimation?) of manufacturing jobs -- period. Of course, there will still be workers necessary to manage the machines doing the work, but with articles like this one that predict "manufacturing jobs as a significant source of job growth over the next decade," it makes me wonder if the possibilities aren't being taken seriously enough.

That's wonderful!

You didn't mention this, but I wonder if you and your significant other had to think twice about it? From what you've written, it sounds like it was an easy decision to return the money.

Thanks for sharing!

As I was checking LinkedIn today, one of the popular articles of the day: "The Case for a Four-Day Week: Here are six reasons to consider cutting your work week down a day while boosting company morale exponentially." The concept definitely is worth considering.

During the Republican Presidential debate this morning, I saw a tweet from Nick Kristof (not about the debate): "My column today is abt small children, hugs, education & poverty.Hugs are as important as vaccinations!"

The column is dated January 7th, 2012. I guess he was writing about hugs when I was writing about hugs. It's worth the read! Check it out here.

Hello Reader,

I'm glad that you found this post timely! I have found that when I look around, "synchronicities abound." That is, when I take the time to stop and see what's going on around me, there's often the answer I'm looking for right in front of me. :-)

This'll most definitely be a fun thread to read. Looking forward to coming back and seeing all the Ben & Jerry's names. :-)

I'm so glad you find the information here useful, Gorgo!

I wonder: are you referring to the money in politics bit that's coming up? I'm stoked for that. I wonder if maybe you're talking about Howard Schultz (CEO of Starbucks) and the other 100+ business leaders who have signed on not to make political donations. If it does have to do with money, I hope you make use of the "OpenSecrets" resource.

Hello,

No, I'm not a doctor -- and I don't play one on TV (currently). I'm glad you enjoyed this post and my series on psi phenomena.

If you find the idea of heightened awareness interesting, then I highly recommend you check out my series on psi phenomena. I review what is known as "the big 5": telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, distant healing, and precognition.
