About Me
- Name: KM
I live in verdant Lake Oswego, Oregon with my teacher husband and teen-age daughter. We have a Portuguese Water Dog. My work is in public relations and I have worked with clients in a diverse set of industries, including high tech, food, graphic design and brand strategy. Right now I am trying to identify a new paradigm for working in my field, since so much in the world of media and communications has changed, mostly for the better in my opinion, but which requires a major readjustment.

This is a new kind of journalism, and a new set of ideas that is going to take some time to sink in. Not surprising that the "solastalgia" concept comes from an Australian philosopher, as that country is the first to create a cabinet-level "Department of Climate Change."

How to turn this horrendous psychic/physical burden into something that arouses the more creative side of the human brainstem? See

This is the reality human consciousness will inhabit for as many generations as we have left. We owe it to ourselves and our children to make the most of it, and find out whether a large brain was an evolutionary advantage or a dead end.
