Whilst Away Whittling

Because we socialise, we live for stimuli.

Bumblebees and honey bees are dying by the whole hive. Much speculation hovers around the causes, including weak immune systems, mites and mobile phone tower radiation. Three bumblebee species are recently extinct in the UK.

Recent unrest in Madagascar was raised as news at a technology conference, of all places (TED?).

Spain celebrates its World Cup victory and golf continues its competition with bike racing in France for viewers of sports telly.

Bombers don't stop their random attacks.

Did any of the above paragraphs interest you? Are you engaging conversation with friends and family about these topical subjects?

Seven billion specialists have limited time to devote to the rest of their species' specialties, let alone their own.

Generalists like me still have favourite interests that tend to draw our attention quicker than others.

Time is money - how and where you dedicate your spare time that you purposefully set aside (like profit-sharing) makes a world of difference.

If enough people are devoted to your favourite charity, rotate your interest to a new part of society you know little about. The insight you provide with your fresh set of eyes will enrich all our lives!
