Yi-Tan Weekly Tech Call #

(Monday
)Maybe the old nostrum, "scarcity equals value," is getting in our way.
It's a hard idea to let go. If things are abundant, how will businesses stay alive?
I've been exploring what it means to see abundantly, diving in with this screencast about learning and more broadly in the (unfinished) Prezi it's a part of.
For inspiration, look at The Three Toxic Myths About Scarcity, The Plenitude and Towards an Economy of Abundance.
Together, let's discuss:
- Do we really fear abundance? Why?
- What's really scarce and abundant around us?
- Who is creating scarcity? How?
- How can we shift our perceptions of scarcity and abundance in useful ways?
As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan. (Not familiar with IRC? Just join us here.)
We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter. This page is on the web here.
