As I pick up links offered through people I follow on twitter I find more and more stuff related to what I’m trying to do with Kahatika and my efforts to “Save the World”. I busily place talks in my favourites list on TED, Youtube and the likes to try and stay organised. Am I [...]
When I speak of my “Save the World” goal I don’t mean saving the planet. After all, the known life cycle of the sun dictates the ultimate demise of our planet. Saving the sun is not on the agenda.
So when I say I want to save the world I actually want to save our species, [...]
Watching the World Debate on the BBC last night I noted co-winner of the Nobel prize for physics 2009 Willard Boyle’s take on the internet.

Like him I often find the Internet Plaghh!
His idea of entrusting organisations to distill information for human consumption is a little bit like entrusting a government formed through representative democracy.

I’ve just read a blog by Seth Godin about Protecting vs Spreading Ideas. The moral of his blog, as far as I can tell, is; “Get good at what you do”; “Spread your Ideas Freely” they belong to everyone.
I agree with this philosophy but have often agonised over possible exceptions to this rule.

The following TED talk I found reassuring. His observations provide partial reason for why my Plan to “Save the World” may just work.
Like every world changing idea now-a-days, mine too involves the internet to a very limited degree. [...]
The world needs saving because the climate is changing. This is impacting on the way we as humans currently live and we are all worried.
Being agnostic I find I just don’t know what the truth of the situation is. There is so much conflicting information out there that seems to be so complicated and with [...]
You have no “rights”. Not even to eat, drink, breath or even to be born.
Everything we regard as rights has taken energy to give the appearance of being a right.
Institutions which consolidate that appearance require constant energy to maintain them.
Like the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics without energy to bring order from disorder a system will [...]
Being an Agnostic is a bad thing.
Humans don’t like uncertainty.
If you don’t know, that makes you inferior in some way doesn’t it?
You are wishy washy, you sit on the fence, you are indecisive. Definitely not leadership material.
I decided a long time ago I was probably agnostic, I say probably because I don’t really know. I [...]
