A young man walking on a long stretch of beach encountered
a young girl who was retrieving starfish and throwing them back
out into the sea. The young man inquired why the girl was throwing
the starfish back out to sea. There must be thousands of them
and there are miles of beach in this area. What possible difference
would it make? The girl paused thoughfully as she prepared to
throw another starfish and replied, 'It will make a difference
to this one.'

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

Look at 2006 through a different lens and you'll see another
story, one that isn't about conflict or great men. It's a story
about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before.
It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and
the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online
metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from
the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will
not only change the world, but also change the way the world
changes.

If I refused to learn from people unless I agreed with everything
they had ever said and done, I would never learn from anyone.

The unattended farm stand, with its honor box to deposit payment
for your fruit and vegetable purchases, is a site for local
asynchronous
interaction. Buyer and seller come to the same place, but they
do not have to be there at the same time. In contexts where
it would be unwise to rely so completely upon trust, vending
machines serve the same purpose.

We strangers know each other now, part of the whole design.

I love it when a plan comes together.

I said why don't we get together and call ourselves an institute?

We humans, for whom the planet has indeed become a global village,
are required to create a new civilization that is worthy of
our dignity as royal persons and our responsibility as divine
co-creators. If we do not create a global civilization where
peace and justice reign and where the spirit of delight and
celebration can be made to happen, then we have no one to blame
but ourselves.

All for one, and one for all.

I'm not a joiner.
- Conversation with a new Flickr member on joining her first
group.
I sent the club a wire stating, 'Please accept my resignation.
I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.'
- Groucho Marx
One of the benefits of continuity is that the process of communication
and organization is simplified. What works works, what does
not work changes.

If you appeal to the individual part of the psyche for a collective
