Two small things that should always Inform our Understanding (21st Century Endgame Foundations)
Bingo! Thanks for this post! It will take some time to read it all and follow the threads, yet one that I was drawn to is the http://pic.tv/. Need to more fully explore all these opportunities. that though is the essence of the posts and blogging, the democratization of information for informations sake. The challenge is to empower and encourage as many people as possible to become informed self directed learners. People capable of seperating fact from fiction. Rather than being passive observers and listeners, being force fed biased information from slanted so called "news outlets on the right and left of reality, they would join in this glorious opportunity to share and sort out fact from fiction. I woke with a vision of a healthy society where it is represented as an analogy of building a house. Different segments building various aspects. The foundation , walls, roof insulation, windows etc...Each aspect representing a viewpoint and attendant action. Currently we have dominant entities whose viewpoints are not part of the democratization of information and seem to have little interest in becoming part of same. Their part in bulding this house is tantamount to a lopsided cancerous roof whose darkness threatens to crush positive growth of a structure still in design. Definately not a house that can stand up to the challenges facing individuals and society to. With the Web people can tell their story and grow through awareness of the possibilites. Whether it is a cooking class, building a home, learning math, the possibilites are limited only to ones imagination and courage to explore the wonderful vehicle we are traveling on -Planet Earth.
