John Petersen teleseminar on "A Vision for 2012: Planning for Extraordinary Change"

I found this talk relevant and engaging. I agree that not much of the old cultural structure can be or is worth saving, particularly financial and governmental structures.

I endorse the speaker's emphasis on local community resource building.

Screw the Empire, cultivate the Force.

Last week, Paul Krugman, the Nobel laureate, wrote an article about how the current inflation fear mongering could be politically motivated. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/29/opinion/29krugman.html?_r=1
I kept thinking about this as I listened to this speaker, wondering just what his agenda was. Change is happening, people in government and elsewhere are planning for it. Might not this be the foundation for a truly new way of doing things? Why did he not speak of this?
The end of the old way of doing things does not mean the end of everything and chaos, though it may threaten vested interests who have more to lose.
Perhaps we should all focus some intention now on an intact and better managed and regulated AIG, and solid pensions for all the retirees and Baby Boomers, and see where we are in 45 days.
