Scott, our paths are now crossing!! I am excited to see a piece of the unique work / life you are creating. I am going on 33 and am finding that the life that I thought I would live as an adult (formed when I was a child) will not satisfy the growth I am experienceing. This leave be a bit at a loss. I do not know where to turn. Your site is allowing me to "bone up" on some of the talented people of our time. I have practiced Zen meditation for 5 years now and I have cleared a path ... it feels like I am awaiting a call, or sign. I hope to find a next step in the material on your site. Thank you putting your work out there where others can find it.

As quite often the case, surfing the net brought me to Insight & Outlook...what route I took to find you, I can't now remember...which seems to be either a memory problem or a side-effect of net-surfing. Either way I was very pleased to find you. Why was Insight & Outlook taken off the air after 4 years? It seems to be just as significant a time to be able to access this type of program through regular media, other than internet. I hope a forum will present itself again, either on radio or tv, so that it can reach a broader audience than those who perchance ride the wave to your door. Yours sincerely,

I discovered your website in a never ending search/quest for contacting the inimitable James Hillman. The fact that you created the rare opportunity to interview this genius (or his nutshell and accompanying genius) is tremendously appreciated (and enviable). The fact that he consented to one speaks volumes about who you are and the respect you must command and inspire, both as writer and soul.

I enjoy your writing, and your website. Especially the remembrance of Edward Murrow. No one else seems to remember him like I do, and I was a baby in his hey day. A left handed intuitive brilliant feeling mind, your 'London Calling' meant a great deal to me. It so happens that I am an Anglophile and my spiritual roots are of a Scots and celtic ancient place. To see, 'Scott London' was really, really cool. Just to me. What a perfect name.

Please tell me how to listen to any of your radio broadcasts in the future. Especially, in light of the recent events of September 11th. I would love to read/hear your thoughts and observances.

Your criticism of the work of a social critic is fascinating. You state that ultimately John Ralston Saul's work fails to satisfy you, because it presents only critical analysis, not alternative solutions. Is it not the role of the critic to present exactly what Saul has presented, and thereby to stimulate thought? If not, then what is the nature of your critique of his work? Is it your point that in social structures, objection cannot be made, questions cannot be asked, unless the responses / answers are provided by the objector / questioner? I know irony escapes many / most Americans, and that, it appears, is as it should be.

You are working very interestingly and productively. I have read your texts and have to say that they helped me to know new point of views on my subject. Thank you very much. I am a Russian sociologist focusing on the history of American polls: philosophical, methodological, technological, and other aspects. You have an interesting essay on John Dewey. I agree with your interpretations of his creativity and your conclusions. On the other hand, your text has stimulated my questions. Have you thought about parallels between Dewey's and Lord Bryce's ideas (speculations)? Could we say about Dewey's influence on George Gallup? You know that Gallup cited Bryce regularly. Thanks a lot again,

Scott, I discovered your site through the interview with Sam Keen. I've used his video "Your Mythic Journey" in my classes for many years. As that implies, I'm a teacher, though I currently have a lack of class. My field is English (college level), though I prefer to tell people I don't teach English; I use English to teach. That keeps the focus on the student as subject, not the course title. If you encounter a moment that needs filling, you might take a look at the site I've begun building titled Pedagogy, Philosophy, and Nonsense. Some of the ideas are adapted from Sam Keen's work as it has influenced my teaching. Please pass the site address on to anyone you think might enjoy it. I enjoyed reading the interview and will continue perusing the site between the various other things I tell myself I should do.

Scott, you have made me a happy man! I was doing some research and happened across your site! It is wonderful! Like you, I fit into the description of a "hyphenated" professional, someone with a splintered identity whose work, for better or worse, spans conventional boundaries. I am an independent consultant putting into place and making a reality of my dream to create an African-American environmental policy, education and research firm. In the Shona language of Zimbabwe, "danhiko" means stepping stone, ladder, and / or bridge. As a native of Bedford Stuyvestant Brooklyn, I prefer the concept of bridge most since I grew up near the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. Greatly appreciate your time, your work, and your response.

Hi Scott. Just wanted to say thanks for a couple things. The first is self-explanatory — it is from my journal:

"Just decided to create a new section of my website called 'Panning for Gold.' This is a beautiful expression for me and my writing on this site. I thank Chuck Wolfe for coming up with it. He used it when he told me what it was like going through my website! I said, 'Well, I am glad you think there is some gold in there.' He said, 'Oh, yes. Definitely' So thanks for that, Chuck! I also want to thank Scott London, because after I looked at his site, I was reminded that I need to stop writing about other people's ideas and start writing more about my own ideas."

Also, thanks for this comment from your ONN interview: "And wisdom, I believe, is revealed in who we are, not what we think or say" Best wishes,

Scott, I discovered your website a week or two ago. I have listened to a couple of the interviews and have purchased or checked out of the local library several of the books listed. Thanks for taking the time to prepare the site and share the contents.

I posted the following at www.culturalcreatives.org a few minutes ago. It provides an abbreviated introduction to myself:

"Prompted by what I thought was a flaw in our urban design policies, I have spent much of the past nine years researching topics such as personality types, economics, social evolution, government policy, etc. My conclusion is that our society is dominated and shaped by individuals and institutions who support the status quo — primarily because they have an economic vested interest in maintaining the system and/or are unaware of the insidious consequences of the system. One of the reasons why cultural creatives remain below the radar screen is that they are typically key players in this system.  A system driven by specialization and standardization. Due to the scale of this system, creativity is not encouraged except in technology and maybe advertising — both areas that lead, ironically, to more standardization and specialization. My goal over the past couple of years has been to determine a way for cultural creatives to transition to a way of living that supports their core beliefs. I believe that one way of reaching self actualization is through providing a unique food and shelter experience. (Maslow would be proud.) After all, the number one desired occupation of cultural creatives is probably becoming an innkeeper. However, the time requirements of being an innkeeper tend to stifle creativity. My idea is to develop a network of independent facilities that provide a venue for teaching cooking classes (culinary arts), gardening and other creativity-related topics. Martha Stewart sans commecialism. Facilities can be operated as working restaurants/inns that provide an income for the students. Courses can be a day or six months and students can go on to be involved with developing and/or operating other facilities in the network — all on an independent basis. One benefit of this solution is that it has the potential to inject some life into neighborhoods that need a vibrancy injection. Please send me your feedback."

I've been a real fan of your work for a long time and was sorry to see your program go off the air ... But I'm pleased to have found your web site and look forward to exploring it. I'm a student of religion, mathematics, philosophy, human potential, etc. and your work is a real inspiration. Have fun, and keep up the great work!

I am an MA student (Public Communication and PR) at the University of Westminster. I am so glad I came found your excellent website with such rich and diverse topics. I particularly like paper on "How the Media Frames Political Issues". I will sure recommend your work to all my friends and classmates. Do you have anything on political lobbying? I have a seminar to conduct early next month and the topic is "Political lobbying is inevitably becoming sleazy" I have to agree with the statement and I will have to face someone who disagrees. Sincerely,

Scott, I was reading your interview with Margaret Wheatley and I am curious if you know what companies if any embrace her philosophy? I am in OD and looking to find a new job. I would like to pursue newer companies with more open thinking, like companies that would believe in Margaret.

I am a graduate Journalism student at West Virginia Unversity doing my Masters thesis on the media framing of the murders of rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. I came across your website and the citations on your review paper should prove to be helpful on their own, but I was hoping you may be able to give me some ideas on useful sources relating to media framing of hip-hop figures, culture, etc. I've been having trouble locating articles specific to framing of hip-hop. Any relevant framing material would be appreciated though. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! Sincerely,
