(post's links are top facebook groups- but delighted if you email me an exact ned bookmark you wnated edited in to flow)

some good news: last week we convened a yunus womens power meeting , a sustainability-green revolutionary's energy meeting, The Economist (human system revolution) meeting and a 24 weeks trust-mapping search for 200 collaboration entrepreneurs meetings, and a meeting with that most extraordinary phenomenon: a british government unit blessed with the power to innovate radical experiments in education across the land of the young at heart. The good news was agreement on 3 missing truth knowhow bases. Apart from the fact that they are missing, they are very simple- eg my 10 year old daughter plays them better than all but a few adults. Being curious (not afraid of openly making a mistake) still being natural at her age.

1 how absolute extreme entrepreneurial innovation has always been planted - by which I mean the few inventions in any generation that truly improve the human lot of everyone who gets access to them

2 how you can check whether an innovation and its commercialisation has a bats chance in hell of being such an innovation -using a 10 player roundtable game where each player transparently asks the other 9 whether what they do or want from that invention will over time flow with what her or his role wants systemised (deep democracy or better media clue: make a reality tv or a web game out of this and show how 10 people who claim to care most in the world about an issue actually play it out)

3 depending on how conflict free or conflicted such information flows turn out to be you can work out whether the invention has any sustainability investment exponentials up over time

This is good news because it means we just have time to solve every sustainability crisis today if we are prepared to open source and play these games; playing these games is necessary and sufficient for where all human goodwill compounds as we integrate local and vital contexts into global -- the choice is yours. I'm inviting citizen plays at http://grameen.tv though we'd far rather visit anywhere that wants to try out these games -its just we dont know where corresponding network weavers are until we do some more mapping work or get some help from others who have already found hi-trust communities focused on one open space-like crisis challenge
