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.
-- Stowe Boyd, “How the Postnormal Era Will Change Everything”

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).”
Chris Lund, retired USCG

“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?”
Reed Mangino

@the_spinmd
“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.”
Joel Skyzer

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

@the_spinmd
1. Mistrust of institutions.
2. Easy access to technology.
3. Fluid movement between borders.
4. Truly global communications.
5. A common global language.

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

@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?
Think

@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.
