Civilizations do fail. We have never yet seen one that hasn’t. The difference is that the torch of progress has in the past

always passed to another region of the world. But we’ve now, for the first time, got a single global civilization. If it fails, we all fail together.

Tim O’Reilly, “The Rise of Anti-Intellectualism and the End of Progress”

Today’s political boundaries make no sense: they are the outgrowth of royal treaties, conquest, and the misuse of resources. We should start with the natural ecological unit — the watershed — and replace the notion of provinces (US states) with those. I for example, live in the Hudson River Watershed. Locale is still relevant, so people still would be tied to San Francisco, or Beacon NY. And regionalism is still meaningful, but not necessarily the way today’s borders fall. And finally, we need to consider the world and its resources as a shared commons, and not spoils to be owned by the fortunate or wealthy.

Will future generations live in a world that looks more like today’s Internet than a

world defined by lines on a map?

“Part of my generation's identity is that we are the most interconnected in world history. Growing up with the internet has taught us that we are a community, not a group of individuals”

“One of the first lessons the military taught me was the concept of the 24 hour workday. It's nothing new for first responders and other shift working people. Sometimes I had day watches, sometimes I got up at 11pm for the 12-4 watch, sometimes (a few too many) I was up all night handling an emergency. The modern reckoning of time is a result of the railroads and telegraph. Prior to that, people observed Noon at their own specific locations because it is something very easy to determine (watch the sun rise and when it stops and starts falling - voila -that's noon). So, although it may seem like time is now becoming irrelevant, for many industries, it hasn't been relevant for years (other than to account for how long one worked).”

“Is the ‘value’ (a hugely amorphous term in this context) of constant communication greater than the value of how we get to appropriate our time?”

“On the topic of time compression, I find it interesting that speed is the catalyst for the state change of mass into energy, and that as speed increases time slows down. Somehow in my peanut brain I conclude that increasing velocity eventually turns everything to energy and time stops...Big Bang. In light of recent findings that the expansion of the universe is speeding up, not slowing down, this makes some sense.”

“In quantum physics we talk about states of atoms...the fact that you can be in many places in one time.”

“Communities self form around ideas, interests and values.”

John Locke

@the_spinmd

@the_spinmd

1. What does it mean to be a citizen of the Globe, not a state or country?

2. How does a world of dissolving nation states operate?

3. How do governments and businesses adapt in a world they no longer control?

@the_spinmd

Nationalism…Certainly one of history’s great tools for driving human behavior, outperformed only by religion in global history morbidity stats. In the land of egoic insanity, one must cling to such concepts to maintain identity. Without them, the center does not hold. With them, man is pitted against man in a fight to the death not over scarce resources needed to support life - but over man made scarcity that supports artificial wealth and unnecessary deprivation.
