Wildcat: FM2030 recontexting
originally posted to Space Collective on January 2, 2008 "...We are at the beginning of a massive recontexting of our social life. We live in this new social environment, and yet we do not have any training or preparation to deal with it. We don't even know where to go to get such training.

But what worked for them no longer wo...

The pillars stand together apart
originally posted to Space Collective on Dec 26, 2007 Love One Another Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other&...

"The future. Thats what I'm optimistic about"
originally posted to Space Collective on Dec 22, 2007 The above statement, with which I resonate much and agree wholeheartedly, was made by Etonian zoologist and (now retired) amateur banker Matt Ridley.
