Food Capital Flowchart — The Idea Gallery

It may seem cliché, but being a person is about more than “finding your passion” and zeroing in on the path to success. We live in a world governed by laws. There are physical laws, moral laws, laws of logic and reason. The evidence is all around us. The more broadly we study, the more we understand how the world works, not through the accumulation of facts in sheer quantum, but through pattern recognition. The notion of discrete academic discipline is a human construct. The fabric of reality underlies all fields, and the more we study the fabric, the better we recognize its manifestation in our daily lives.

Heraclitus said “no man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” Everything in life brings a new challenge, often not because life is in itself challenging, but because we are on a journey from babies to mature men and women. That is the point of every IG. If I can, I’ll try to reduce the fraction as much as possible so it’s obvious how these things all fit together. If I fail, at least we are storing ideas on the wall (like a gallery) to look at and admire later in light of new situations. For the river may have changed, but with every new idea on the wall, so have you.

Idea Gallery is about finding durable ideas and using them to illuminate our lives.
