Perhaps net gain can only be realized when we let the entire world play. When we synchronize global access to technology that allows everyone something else to do (N Gershenfeld), many existing technologies, policies, securities, identities, titles, wars, impossibilities .. become irrelevant. When we offer everyone the means, the luxury, to do whatever they want (the thing they can’t not do), we’ll gain the simplicity/freedom we need for the dance to dance. Interconnectedness rides on an all-of-us ness.
I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. (MLK)
