[p2p-research] barriers to post-industrial transition

[Martien van Steenbergen]

tmo the greatest difficulty is letting your e-go. ;-) To quote Dee Hock:

Harbouring four beasts that inevitably devour their keepers:
trading ego for humility;
trading envy for equanimity;
trading avarice for time;
trading ambition for liberty.


To overcome the barrier, after we've let our e-go, is to discover (or  
"design") the DNA that specifies the enzymes that in turn catalyze the  
cellular processes on a human/social/global level of scale and enjoy  
great stability and foster self-replication.

Succes en plezier,

	Martien.
