In A Hyper-connected World Where Average Is

My Mom Enlisted In The U.s. Navy In World War Ii, And My Parents Actually Bought Our Home Thanks To The Loan She Got Through The Gi Bill.

We Are Entering A Hyperconnected World Where Every Boss Now Has More Access, Cheap Access To Cheap Labor, Cheap Genius, Cheap Robot, Cheap Software, And Then This World Averages Over. There Is Only One Answer To That, And That Is To Get Everyone As Close As Possible To Some Form Of Post-secondary Education, It Could Be Vocational, It Can Be Liberal Arts, It Can Be Science And Technology.

So What Am I? I Guess I Would Call Myself A Sober Optimist...if You Are Not Sober About The Scale Of The Challenge, Then You Are Not Paying Attention. But If You Are Not An Optimist, You Have No Chance Of Generating The Kind Of Mass Movement Needed To Achieve The Needed Scale.

I Would Say That In 2000, We Understand As Much About How Today's System Of Globalization Is Going To Work As We Understood About How The Cold War System Was Going To Work In 1946.

America Is Interested In Change And Reform In The Middle East But In A Stable Way.
