Of course, Heidegger knows science academies are thinking, but the question Pondy and Heidegger both asked, ‘what are we not thinking about?’

Pondy taught Boje to think, to do enthinkment, though never spoke the word to him. He did this by marvelous challenges to all his Ph.D. students: What is the sound of the other hand clapping; leadership as a language game, beyond open systems, and one few know about a piece David Boje did with Dan Brass,  and Lou Pondy, called 'dancing partners' (what if we dance two ways of thinking together? in 1978 and again 1979, in Managing I and Managing II books, Boje, Brass, and Pondy).

Enthinkment is not so much an act of thinking, it is more a way of living life. Enthinkment is a long-practice, like that of the master-apprentice learning to blacksmith or be a printer in the medieval guilds. My master teacher, Louis Ralph Pondy uttered the word but once. He and Karl Weick were strolling on a road among the cornfields of Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. Pondy, as Weick reports it in two books (Social Psychology of Organizing; Sensemaking), Pondy recanted, his original phasing “that would be Enthinkment” and upheld Weick’s interpretation, its ‘not Enactment.’ Every student of Weick, except me, evermore used the phasing “Enactment, not Enthinkment.”

We have more allegiance to my old mentor Pondy, and decided to re-read every article, chapter, and speaking notes available from before his dissertation, through his professor career, to the last talk he gave at the Academy of Management, before passing away so quickly of bone cancer, at age 49, so young, in 1987.

The Enthinkment Circle has been meeting a couple of years, on Zoom, every Tuesday (1PM Mountain time, New Mexico). I am at yet another turning point. My thinking on Enthinkment, a word uttered once my one mentor, written twice by another mentor. The path of thinking of the 1960s when Pondy did his dissertation, and had his breakthrough article in Administrative Quarterly, a year later — has turned other paths of thinking. The path of thinking of the 70’s to the 2000’s has replace the thinking of the 60’s. That is for sure.

During the last decade or so, my path of thinking has been Heidegger’s What is Called Thinking, his lectures from 1951 and 1952, at University of Freiburg, while forbidden to write, translated by J. Green Gray into English in 1968. This gives the story network method form my 2001 book (Narrative Methods for Organizational & Communication Research) a new twist. What if, these networks, are paths of thinking.

A story network architecture (Boje 2001) is about of paths of thinking, encountering one another. Organizations are into their own way of thinking. That’s not Enactment! A shocking and provocative statement by Heidegger to his students, writing it down "Science does not think” (What’s Called Thinking book). What are the organizations not thinking about? Heidegger is concerned we live in this technological age (for him the 1950s), and even back then organizations concern themselves with being dominant over water and Earth. I state it this way because I am writing and videoing about Global Water Capitalism in the technological age of the 2020’s. It is a thinking by dominion over water and Earth. by networks of business and investment organizations and thinking about protecting water and Earth by NGOs. Both ensembles of organizations are telling it differently, and thinking differently. These ways of thinking about water ‘Techne', water technologies, are so different from indigenous ways of thinking about water aliveness.

I am left to write about Enthinkment, and to participate with colleagues each week in the Enthinkment Circle.

Enthinkment is not the path of producing knowledge

Enthinkment is not the path of practical wisdom

Enthinkment is not resolving the cosmic riddles

Enthinkment is not directly to do with the power to act

All these ways of thinking are clearly inferior to Unthinking, the questioning of what passes for thinking in Management Academies, and in my studies of thinking paths in Global Water Capitalism, in water science of hydrology, in thinking of investors buy water stocks (quite a good investment I am told, and Yahoo Finance 5 year trend charts, my video released to YouTube yesterday, does confirm).

Why are Bottled Water & Tap Water NOT best in the World?
