Synchronicity, Synergy and Survival Economics, Daniel Matalon: EP 273
Can human beings with similar, practical, optimistic visions for the future of humanity find ways to collaborate? Dan Matalon's brilliant #IsThere#Enough campaign for social justice and economic prosperity seems ripe to utilize meaningful coincidences. Collaboration involves the mutual capacity for resolving interpersonal conflicts. In the last 20 minutes of this episode, I express to Dan my concerns with how our interview is going. What can we all learn from both the positives and negatives of this attempt at conflict resolution? As Dan has repeatedly said, getting to agreement is fundamental to peace and justice in our increasing fragile world. If those of us with useful ideas can't reach agreement, our individual efforts will be insufficient. We each have a role to play. We need to play those roles cooperatively, always ready to head the need for dialogue to resolve interpersonal difficulties.

He is also the co founder and CEO of a social impact venture studio called Impact Launchpad.

Fuller is known popularly for the invention of The Geodesic Dome but he is also known, and perhaps especially worth noting for the focus of this audience for our show, as the man who defined the mathematics of synergy.
