When Technology Teaches Us Not to Think, except technologically
I recently came across this quote by Argentinian philosopher Tomás Balmaceda that struck a deep chord:
“We struggle to sustain our attention, read a long text, tolerate the void. This time intolerance—the constant rush for information—erodes our capacity for reflection. Intelligence, in this context, isn't knowing how to use technology well, but knowing when not to use it.”
Adaptive Humanism: Read our paper here, published by the Journal of Awareness-Based Systems Change. The paper focuses on how to transform limiting narratives into quantum narratives to co-create a new future.
Let's begin co-creating a new future!
Let's agree that we live at a time when the future is no longer a continuation of the past and, therefore, everything we know and everything we have is obsolete or it will soon be obsolete. For that reason, the only "thing" we can take into the new future is ourselves.
Our multidisciplinary approach (education, philosophy, humanities, spirituality), and our knowledge and experience in education and businesses, as well as our toolbox of techniques (Theory of U, photo-elicitation, guided self-discovery, and others) allows us to prepare minds and hearts, either individually or as a group, to become part of the new future, without forgetting about the past or neglecting the present.
We strive to create long-term, always evolving relationships with our customers. Those relationships are a key element of the business because our main service is to connect people with people in a meaningful and creative way, and that begins with our customers.

What do we bring to the conversation? An open mind, and open heart, and an open will (hands). (Theory of U: Awareness-based theory of change)
