Naked Tech:

One must try to determine the best balance to strike that benefits the whole network.. In the world, we will have to deal with infant societies, ghastly out of scale, boisterous and piercingly chaffing the fabric of our culture of referenced cadence. If we at one point reach a density pattern that allows society to stabilize at 12 billion, within that will be packets of society that refuse to live in the fabric, and thus fall into megastructural pockets. The rare, but refined Arcology that in their very imbalance is in balance! This is Naked Tech's mantra, and to make it happen one must seek to make predominant the naked tech, in the vastness's between arcological nodes.
The grid is a field.

Motives of Change

I read a lot about members of Congress reading warnings, and getting insider memos alerting them to a dire financial crisis... "William White predicted the approaching financial crisis years before 2007's subprime meltdown. But central bankers preferred to listen to his great rival Alan Greenspan instead, with devastating consequences for the global economy." and I have to start wondering... Maybe these who knew, were actually anticipating, and triangulating for this crisis.. Perhaps the thought crossed their mind "let us use this crisis to launch the changes that have been resisted by the masses, such as more monopolized and privatized systems of public resources.."

They had ample warnings, they had brains (have?), they had resources, and one should also therefore wonder, did they have Motive? What were they?

This to me, always comes back into focus, when I place it into the human nest scale... I first think "is the nest healthy?"

Already knowing that the nest's are grossly out of scale, and cancerous, I then jump to the conclusion that this is merely more symptomatic of a system that is reaching for its last glowing resource, and its original resource, the human soul.

It is up to us to tame and to manage our garden.. To also allow it to flourish in a way that is healthy in the long term, in all it variety and depth.
