Although pursuing productivity is laudable, more and more of what the world needs is not so much increased output, but ideas to solve complex problems. The problems being created by a population that is increasing exponentially and an environment that is on the verge of collapsing can only be solved by ingenuity, not by productivity. That is, the world doesn’t need productivity gurus as much as it needs alchemists.

I’d even be so bold as to say that even more than alchemists, we (and the world) need Jesus.
Yeah. Absolutely. I need Jesus!
