There are two reasons I care about business:
- My circumstances make engagement in business non-optional, and I have to care in order to engage.
- Business is the sole remaining opportunity in our society for sustained collaborative thought.
I have to find opportunities for sustained collaborative thought in order to engage and function and preserve my circumstances. I’m not one of those lucky people who can function just because they have to, or who can care because caring is expedient.
I care by figuring out how to care.
When business does not provide opportunities for sustained collaborative thought, my life becomes precarious.
