The Lateral Hippogriff is a Fourth Sector adjacent blog created to feature innovative ideas, businesses, social enterprises, and other assorted human activity that seems to fall outside the grasp of the false dichotomies and polarizing logic that forms roadblocks to social adaptation and innovation. As the world enters into a new reality paradigm, cultural values become the key mitigating agent in which concrete real-world problems can be grappled with collectively. It is our intention to see beyond the status quo by proposing and imagining alternatives that represent the best response to our changing planetary and human ecology. By incubating and celebrating a wide variety of adaptive models, we can create new systems of thought and practice in which a macroscopic, holistic picture of our built environments moves into consciousness.
