Welcome to The Whetstone Institute, a site dedicated to the things and ideas that make us human. Partly a preservation of the past, partly an exploration of possible futures, and always a critique of the present time, The Whetstone focuses on what what makes a livable world — and where we’re veering from that path. What do we as humans and mammals need to live happy, satisfying lives? Whatever those elements are–and we’re betting they aren’t smart phones–they are in increasingly short supply.
Join us as we explore and discuss our common humanity and the world that humanity is creating together.
