that it is a sign of success,
the greatest source of power
stronger
cooler
The truth is, we don't know that these claims are true. We have not tried to accomplish what big things do in a small or smaller way. It is urgent to humanity and to the life on this planet that we start trying to develop ways to build things traditionally built by massive companies by using small companies working together.
We need to develop new kinds of government that are decentralized and local, so government does not get too big and too out of control.
Why do we need to get small? Why is big a problem?
Big is top-down and all that means.
Big intensifies and potentiates psychopathic tendencies and behaviors
Big is selfish and feels self-entitled
Big parasitizes the commons taking far more than its share or what it pays or compensates for
Big is highly destructive to the environment and is a major cause of the massive species die-off the earth is currently experiencing
Big economizes by engaging in monoculture and analogous diversity diminishing behaviors and policies
Big buys power and influence, disrupting democracy and justice
Big homogenizes culture, and destroys local community and culture. Think globalization and global trade pacts.

more detailed bio:
Rob Kall has spent his adult life as an awakener and empowerer-- first in the field of biofeedback, inventing products, developing software and a music recording label, MuPsych, within the company he founded in 1978-- Futurehealth, and founding, organizing and running 3 conferences: Winter Brain, on Neurofeedback and consciousness, Optimal Functioning and Positive Psychology (a pioneer in the field of Positive Psychology, first presenting workshops on it in 1985) and Storycon Summit Meeting on the Art Science and Application of Story-- each the first of their kind.

Rob began his Bottom-up Radio show, broadcast on WNJC 1360 AM to Metro Philly, also available on iTunes, covering the transition of our culture, business and world from predominantly Top-down (hierarchical, centralized, authoritarian, patriarchal, big) to bottom-up (egalitarian, local, interdependent, grassroots, archetypal feminine and small.)
