The Anthroponomy Project ~ presentation to Creative Mornings, Cleveland (2016)
fritzbooks: * Cleveland should become the first node in the Anthroponomy Project ~ a planetary project for humankind to become self-regulating, for humankind’s effects to not undermine its values. * We are in the Age of the Anthropocene, but we should think of ourselves as in the Age of Anthroponomy.

Frequently I’ve been asked, “what is your book about?” Of course, one would think that I would have a nice clear and definitive answer, so I manage to try share a snippet and realize after that it’s almost more difficult to state the message in a shorter amount of words than the longer amount of words.
