Cathedral Thinking is Dead. Long Live Cathedral Thinking
By Jonathan Thompson
Talk given at TEDxPensacola on November 2, 2019
Synopsis: Was the physical fire that recently gutted Notre-Dame de Paris also a metaphorical funeral pyre? Have we truly lost the capacity for long-term planning or “cathedral thinking” that was so prevalent in the Middle Ages? Or is there a new mentality that we can adopt in our modern age to restore our ability to think generationally?
