The Nu Futurist PodcastCLARITY THROUGH DISRUPTIONClarity is something we all seek. But real clarity, the kind we need when the stakes are high and change is the only option, this can only come about through some sort of disruption to our routines, ideas, and assumptions about how the world works. Well established patterns, routines, and ideas, while they may be beneficial at first, eventually lead to complacency. And the definition of "complacency" according to dictionary.com is, "a feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger, defect, or the like."
