Why I Care About the Future
Key Negative Trends• Collapse of complex societies: catastrophe from disaster
for lack of resilience & adaptation as well as corruption
• Acts of Man creating Acts of God: natural disasters will be more frequent & more severe as we cement more land
• Acceleration of Earth’s Demise: changes that used to take 10,000 years now take THREE years; absent Real Time Science and Real Time Public Policy (online, deliberative, transparent) we die
• Shock Capitalism continues to loot the Earth and has turned USA into a Third World country—UAE (Dubai) is the new Switzerland
• Political Corruption ascendant—44 dictators, both Republican and Democratic parties are “running on empty” and very corrupt, elites in towns across America have sold us out
Key Positive Trends• Wealth of networks: fortune at the bottom of the
pyramid, peace through connectivity, wealth from sharing information
• GreenMind: Biomimicry, beneficial bacteria, green chemistry,
• Moral capitalism: natural capitalism, green to gold, cradle to cradle, home rule, eat local, end of corporate personality
• Democratic Information: “true costs” at point of sale
• Left Hand of God: faith-based dialog and diplomacy, obvious need to end of our support to 42 of 44 dictators, shunning of cults
• Peer to Peer People Power: from the Tao of Democracy to localized Wisdom Councils to Blessed Unrest to the Clock of the Long Now.

MONEY Talks
Four Reforms in Need of OPENEnd Fraud,Wage Peace,Educate All
OSINT is 80To 95% of theAnswer
Transpartisan Reality-Based Budget
Demand Reform Before 2008; Home Rule Also
Non-Partisan
Electoral Reform 101Obama & McCain REFUSE!
• Prior to November 2008– Holiday Voting for Poor
who rely on buses and cannot miss work
– Honest Open Debates restored to League of Women Voters
– Cabinet-Level Debates at least Justice, State, and Defense
– Instant Run-Off
• Prior to November 2009– Full and Balanced
Representation, End Winner Take All System
– Tightly-Drawn Districts– Full Public Funding of
Diverse Candidates– No Legislation (or
Budget Allocation) without Public Notification in Advance
Follow the Money!• PER YEAR• $1T in taxes
for war• $1T in tax
exempt “non-profit” giving to all
• $1T in foreign planned assistance by governments & IO/NGO
Bottom line: we do not lack for money, we talk for honest informed decision-making.
“Our Deal” in 2008
• Get Electoral Reform passed by 1 October.
• Announce at least three Cabinet positions by 1 October and have them debate one another.
• Post a balanced budget online by 1 October, and provide for interactive dialog on all line items.
• Acknowledge the ten high-level threats to humanity.
• Acknowledge need for Whole of Nation action on the twelve policies
• Acknowledge urgency of creating a model (the EarthGame) that can be adopted by the eight demographic powers.
