Tim O’Reilly: Towards a global brain

/ pragwater / Leave a comment

The concept of the global brain has been around since the beginning of the last century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_brain).  I remember back in the early 1980’s, my mother-in-law, Jane Howard Edmonds, was promoting the concept by sharing a VHS video tape on the subject with her friends and family.   Since then, the concept has become closer to a reality as described by Tim O’Reilly.

SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA by Dra. Gladys M. González Martínez

This article by Dra. González (page 103) is excellent.  Although she speaks in general terms about food security, she provides a detailed analysis of the situation in Puerto Rico.  For years I have heard that we import around 85% of our food from outside the island, but I had never seen an official statement.  Dra. González provides it in this paper along with other critically important data about our agriculture and food security.

TEDxTheEvergreenStateCollege – David Roberts – Climate Change is Simple

This is a must see video.  If you are skeptical about what he is saying, then dig into the data and prove him wrong.  I hope you will leave a comment on this page with your findings.  The point is that we, as a society, can’t ignore the potential implications for our children and their children.  Please share this with everyone you know.
