So what's the State of The Union now the www revolves all our tomorrows around Death of Distance, World is Flat? connections, collaborations...

Apparently it is facing a gathering storm whose first 2 space races to be free are:
end US addiction to petroleum addiction
do what you can so that kids love exploring science more thah spactating sports or popping idols

That's joy D as it goes. Only trouble is those are system revolution games and one sub-optimal crossroads may like the proverbial snake viciously spiral you in the opposite direction that your faith intended. And faith that excludes transparent mapping's 360 degree Q&A is now the riskest goverance to be led with. Mr Bush early in your first administration researchers at Georgetown Law School & Brookings Economics Institute did inform your executives of the compound risks of Unseen Wealth Governance but they were shown the door as if goodwill maps have no value in exploring entrepreneurial revolution let alone transparently guiding people to feel safe about changing the world peacefully



Footnote:22 years ago, I started navigating death of distance stories - the 3rd part of an entrepreneurial revolution trilogy with my father who had spent a career inteviewing leaders from all over at The Economist.

It may be very unpopular in some quarters, but scots like my dad and I (probably over 80% of Scots, because that's how many live and network outside scotLAND) think the idea of living in one place is becoming maddening just as the mass media's lowest common definition of most new media tools' use is. Take WEB LOG. WE blog. How did early sea captains log their discoveries of different cities and trading places in a way that integrated a worldwide trading map? Does this not mean there's a double loop to valuing a city or any place: what its inhabitants have spent longest practising, empassiononing "TIMES" what a visitor sees most uniquely useful to collaboratively, sustainably trade with?

This has both theoretical and deep practical applications if you sail with it. In terms of economics, the people -all 6 billion beings of us (and our lifetime's most open projects http://project30000.blogspot.com ) must unite to ensure the maths transparenctly maps sustainability for at least 2 million global villages (whether place or action learning gravitated) not an economics of numbers ruling solely so that the big gets bigger. Where I put economics you can insert other fi-fo--professional words: accounting, financing, investment, governance, law, communications as media and mediation. They are all ruled by a giant mathematical mistake of ignoring compound exponentials - http://exponentials.blogspot.com (please don't ever do that ask Einstein, Gandhi, Von Neumann if you have read one of their works on the subject http://clubofdc.blogspot.com )

In terms of practice: if we want to be world citizens, why not start with collaboration (its the connecting value multiplier whereas competition is the separating one). I have spent quite a lot of te last 2 years searching through the nearly 50 million bookmarks on collaboration knowledge city; if you have generated one of these why not check our our emerging guided tour at http://clubofcity.blogspot.com and if your city or most open network for how to change the world isn't there yet, start it up as ablog and tells us how to co-promote it.

Emotionally most of all (as is our species trust http://trueflow.blogspot.com , http://simplysee.blogspot.com ), if you are an adult do not forget that if you dismiss death-of-distance Q&A (just because most conventional bloggers of even today's economist on new media does): ask what on earth will happen to the education of our children ?(and their compound futures http://globalcharters.blogspot.com , http://social-entrepreneur.blogspot.com ) should I be at least a few degrees correct in asking -nay begging - you to go beyond only top down nations as a way of democratically mapping world trade.

Worldwide, club of city supports collaboration and networkers: to pose serious questions, notably on future curves that seem to be trending down in many places and communities. How do all peoples and media 1 2 3 turnround such examples as:
  • Healthcare – ever increasing costs
  • Children – increased family strain, lost safety of community
  • Professionals- loss of Hippocratic oath, ever more bureaucratic
  • Water – Clean water is getting scarcer
  • Transport – getting slower
  • National Government – Increasingly powering over instead of facilitating what people need next Mass media – dumbing down, loss of social space and transparent debates
  • Food chain – cost of good for you food going up
  • Nations Cultures- love of each other’s diversity going down
  • Pensions (investment in sustainable growth) – going down
  • Adult confidence in making a difference with lifelong learning potentials – seems to be going down
  • Insurance – cost going up, learnings across biggest tragedies seem increasingly blocked
  • Underclass – compounding underclass- their loss of hope in life and mutual risks to all of us in a hi-connected world
  • NGOs/Charity – Global*Local infrastructure further removed from depth of grassroots needs in crisis or sustainability turnround challenges
    We are interested in any city network that either recognises any of these as a problem which it wants to question or has some answers they are happy to share with the world
