...what it is ain't exactly clear.
Is anyone checking out what is happening in north africa and the middle east? Best I can figure at the moment, there are a bunch of pissed off young people who have used electronic social networking to cause their governments some major headaches.
I've said it before and will say it again, the internet will be the single most important event in our evolution as a species since we developed opposing thumbs and a hypertrophied forebrain. It is what allows our forebrains to manifest a universal consciousness.
As far as I can tell so far, some people who are living under autocratic and oppressive leadership in places where the internet has allowed them to communicate with people who live in places where the ideas of freedom, equality, and justice are part of the fabric of life, are getting pissed off and comming together to demand change. It is the beginning of a global community. Power-loving dictators who survive by isolating their populace are on their way out. Aggression between nations, and one day, between individuals is comming to an end. Aggression is a primitive response to base desire. There is enough for everyone, and someday we will all learn how to share. How long will it take? I don't know. I am amazed at the changes since I was born. We had black and white tv when I was born, now we are close to having interactive holograms. Maybe we do already, its been awhile since I visited disneyworld.
We have a long way to go, but I am encouraged. Life evolves, it grows along the lines of good. Give a plant water and light, and it will become something beautiful. You don't have to do anything but leave it alone.
So Mr.Obama, Ms.Clinton, will you do right by humanity? Our national boundaries need to disolve. I know it won't happen in your tenure, but do you know that nationalism is a form of ignorance? Probably. Ancient chinese curse; may you live in interesting times...
I'm just speculating here, but I love watching it all happen. I hope we don't see successful repression of their movement. If it starts to happen, I really think we all need to say something.
Today is my soulmate's birthday.
