I agree. The issue has been getting attention from various levels at
those levels.
Now our dilemma / opportunity is cultivating a willingness to see the
interconnections, from which humane lasting solutions can be drawn.
Thus my reference to the implications of Krakauer's last talk.
As I was writing this, Stephen's email about Robert Geist came in:
Robert's paper τέχνη: Trial Phase for the New Curriculum:

heads in a promising direction.

We're going through 4 huge shifts in the world, and no one has any
idea how
to manage them:
Quote: Now let me say that in English: the European Union is
cracking up.
The Arab world is cracking up. China’s growth model is under
pressure and
America’s credit-driven capitalist model has suffered a warning
heart attack
and needs a total rethink. Recasting any one of these alone would
be huge.
Doing all four at once — when the world has never been more
interconnected —
is mind-boggling. We are again “present at the creation” — but
of what?
The first (the EU) freaks me out most, both because it's
extraordinarily
difficult to manage, and because no one in the US seems to see how
important
it is.
Cool. Sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime. There are a number
of folks who have anticipated these events which could roughly be
summed up as the transition from an expansion/individualistic economy
to an interconnected/collaborative economy. Charles Eisenstein, who
presented here at sf_x, has written one of the main books on the
subject (ascentofhumanity.org) and it's worth buying a copy.
The tools in which to implement it are being explored and developed
mostly outside the mainstream consciousness and traditional centers of
dialog, but no doubt, the Internet is what is enabling it and also
what will allow it to succeed. Glad to see the issue get some real
attention.
