Have you ever stood on the edge of a cliff and felt an inexplicable urge to leap?  The French call this phenomenon  l’appel du vide . The call of the void.  More scientifically, this impulse has been studied and is referred to as the “high places phenomenon.” Neuroscientists tell us that the fleeting impulse actually results from safety signals firing in the brain. In other words, the call of the void is actually the human mind protecting its host – a reaffirmation of the innate human will to survive. Compliance can serve a similar function at high-growth technologies – protecting the company through phases of growth and exploration, and also reaffirming the company’s will to live. Especially in highly regulated industries, Compliance can become a critical pathway enabling the company not only to survive, but to thrive.  Mercury is an organism that is constantly growing, adapting, innovating, and evolving.

In Theory of Colours , he dared to question Isaac Newton’s scientific discoveries regarding the perception of refracted light. In Metamorphosis of Plants , Goethe described the leaf as “the true Proteus who can hide or reveal himself in all vegetal Forms.”  What does this have to do with lawyering? Everything.
