  • How the market assumption cheapens friendship
  • Ivan Illich on the commitment of friendship

Seismic Shifts in Consciousness

How the world could get much better very quickly

  • Corbett Report on how the G20 demo changed
  • How a shock to the system gets people out of earlier patterns

  • Douglas Adams, HHGG - The party that had no end (link to dumbing down, celebrity culture, peak oil)
  •  ?...
