Motto: Synthecracy is the new phase of the glocal
society and its economies. Delen=
Vermenigvuldigen / Sharing of knowledge multiplies its value (see: van
Till’s Law) Multiple Tribes Membership (MTM) with the help of the Net is the best
antidote to ethnical/cultural/national fragmentation. I wish you good,
tolerant and binding connections across many borders, taking part in many
communities. Conjecture: I think that consciousness
(awareness of awareness) is generated by multiple layers of "super-resolution"
in the human brain. I expect this planet to wake up in about 2020 when
>10^10 people are interconnected through the Net. |
