The Measurements of Life (Tools for Comprehensivity) @Comprehensivist Wednesday

In our lives, how can we interpret, assess, or measure our situation, our plans, our initiatives?

How might we measure the worth of our lives comprehensively?

We will explore interpretation and measurement using the broad schema "the measurements of life" from Chapter 6 "Interpretation and Measurement" of "The Design Way" by Harold G. Nelson and Erik Stolterman.

To facilitate my thinking and our exploration I wrote an essay to guide our discourse: https://www.cjfearnley.com/CfC/2022/07/the-measurements-of-life-tools-for-comprehensivity/

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays". Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.

Here is a playlist of introductory topics on comprehensive thinking:
