Ditto on the congratulations to Kotler!
I have some questions for the list (composed of a mixture of optimists
and pessimists, all technophiles):
1. What do you think of Singularity University and the ideas presented
in Kotler/Diamandis' book "Abundance"?
2. What do you think of the *apparent* abundance of Exponential
Technologies in the world today?
3. Are Exponential Technologies an emergent phenomena of Technology
(and Economic?) Networks?
4. If not a literal Singularity, is there a subcritical Technological
Explosion underway?
5. Are there good existing models for understanding this phenomena?
6. What moderating factors might exist, limiting this explosion from
being an effective singularity?
7. What are the likely intrinsic time scales in such models?
8. How might such technological networks couple with social networks?
Just to keep gnawing the Political Bone... what is the influence of
the Conservative (fiscal and social) vs the Progressive (social)? Both
are mixed bags of pro/anti science/engineering. Stem Cells V GMO
crops... Creation V Evolution... Fracking, Climate Manipulation, ... etc.
Is a new concept of ethics required in these times of outrageous
growth/progress in technology?

The Cutting Edge of Disruptive technology, Guerilla Neuroscience and
Adrenaline Sport
Some New Tales To Tell:
Over a year in the making, I have a new article out in the
/Atlantic Monthly. /It's written in conjunction with synthetic
biology expert Andrew Hessel and global security expert Marc Goodman.
The story examines the dawning of an era of personalized
bio-weapons and the grave threat they pose to national security.
