Ive been thinking this morning about the difference between *Planned Obsolescence* and *Generous Thinking*, and why the latter, and the response to it, means so much to me right now. When I was writing *Planned Obsolescence*, I thought I had answers to big problems, and that I needed to get them in front of a sometimes recalcitrant academy, to press it in directions I thought would be better. With *Generous Thinking*, I am certain I have more questions than answers, and while I have some thoughts about the approaches we might take in solving our biggest problems, Im all too aware that my perspective is partial. Even more, I am aware that I am at best an imperfect model of the directions Id like to see us take. In some key ways, I am the primary audience for *Generous Thinking*, trying as hard as I can to guide myself toward better ways of being.
