Reflections on Human Scale

Throughout a career that took him to high levels in international affairs, law and finance, Mark Medish has pondered over the concept of "human scale” and its significance for the contemporary world. Classical and Renaissance thinkers placed heavy value on the ideas of proportion, scale and optimal balance as keys to individual fulfillment and social order. How can and should we — as citizens, parents, workers, individuals — understand and apply those age-old concepts in our lives in today's increasingly scaled-up and digitized world?

"powerful impulses push us headlong, I fear, to using these technologies for crossing all thresholds, ofte without knowing why or considering what the consequences could be. we moderns dont like limits yet self governance requires limits.

] At root, the idea of human scale is about proportions, balance, and limits and what it means to be a spiritually happy being"
