2 dimensions emerging from different big os compasses is much more fascinating for me than 1
heres an example emerging urgently on my mind 1) www.simpol.org is the pre-eminent open network (and system*system architect mapmakers) concerned with the compass of politics sans frontiers what debates do all peoples need to connect in having because the sustainability (including freedom and happiness) of 6 billion beings will never be solved just by national politics with its separate geo-borders and its 4-year time intervals 2) water : at the end of the day if grown men are going to war over oil (which is substitutable) they may do their people harm, but if they will next go to war over water; this ends the human race because its not substitutable, it cleanliness makes up two thirds of our bodies and their health, and its waves propagated by nature care not about mens borders indeed demand network system * system interfacing of a higher order transparency than confused top- down leaders can ever map so those are 2 quite big global compasses how can we work at our localities on their living pieces? well March will be the 2nd of simpol open space cafes in London invited for 1 hour around the Brazilian whos worked longer to promote understanding of human rights of water than anyone I will ever meet. For example he helped encourage the Catholic Church to make 2004 Year of water and open spaces through its 7000 parishes so the people could discuss that. Or he knows of the 100 projects including an educational curriculum one involving 80000 school children that the river basins of the world's largest dam at Foz are exploring; in fact he co-presented that at the Brazilian embassy in London when last we met. My living pieces question to you: is whom should we be inviting now to attend this one hour café. I have a few ideas such as those who are later that month inviting Al Gore over to speak and those who are connecting hundreds of nmilions of investment in photosynthesised energy, even celebrities like whomever represents Anita Rodicks views on www.troubledwater.org but please tell me at [email protected] if theres anyone else you know who we should be inviting chris macrae [email protected] http://clubofbrazil.blogspot.com http://simpol.blogspot.com http://waterangels.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://www.easynetdial.co.uk * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
