“We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.”

Back in 1971 I bought this catalog. I still have it. I carried it around in a briefcase. I used it to go deeper into topics, but just reading the reviews was revolutionary for me. It has been a constant in my life. Everything on this site is a spin off from the idea of looking at things as a whole system, not necessary predicted by its parts. This is synergy.
My name is Dan Edward Goodlett. I am a lot of things. I have been an explorer since childhood. I was a draft dodger, college student majoring in creative writing, donut maker, husband, father, and customer service representative. I spent 40 years working as an information technology professional, started my own nonprofit and helped dozens of other nonprofits. I am constantly reinventing myself, all while facing difficulties with dyslexia, minor depression, anxiety and trying to reconcile all of it.
