NORTHERN PLANNER

Will the future be selfish? According to the Henley Centre the answer is yes.  Three out of there four scenarios for 2025 are based on people following their own self interests. It doesn’t make sense in the face of Live 8 or the Tsunami fund; or does it?

I’m not sure this report is that new, since anyone who works for a charity will tell you that that there’s only a small pocket of community minded people, while most give money away to salve a social conscience. If you’ve done a little bit (as long as it was convenient) it makes you feel better about looking after number 1. Time is most people’s most valuable commodity these days, which is why charities find it hard to find volunteers.

Thanks to Scott for the heads up.
