I know those words sound pretentious. Why should I presume to spout off in such manner? Good question…but here’s one right back at you: Why Not? I think we’re leaving the age of the expert, the “guru”, the “learned” and entering a whole different existence. Today you don’t have to have some “certificate” to express your thoughts, you can just blog til your heart’s content. Of course there is a significant downside to all that: WAY TOO MUCH CONTENT AND WAY TOO LITTLE INSIGHT. So what’s needed is a way to organize and evaluate the collective intelligence of the global community in a way that allows us to learn from the master in Nepal and the neophyte in Norway, the house wife in Tulsa, and the teenager in Taipei. Again…why not? Why wouldn’t we take advantage of the unprecedented connectedness we now possess? Why wouldn’t we take a chance on a better future? Why not?

Have you noticed that something is right with the world? But that it seems to be misplaced somehow? And that its absence is causing a cloaked pain? Not just hatred, racism, and environmental destruction – the “brand name” problems…but something harder to name, harder to explain…like a splinter in your mind? You know it’s there but you’re looking around at everyone and they don’t seem to be affected at all. You might find this hard to talk about with friends who are “rat racing” and living in the magic kingdom of constant consumer teetering between bliss and bust. You might think it’s a conspiracy or the failure of tradition or some thing but you just can’t seem to say it. And lately, you’re getting a bit more than frustrated with it all.
