  1. Is a Turing Test possible to determine exactly when "social technologies" will qualify as "noospheric technologies?"
  2. The web 3.0+ question: How can next-generation social networking systems be designed as "machines that produce wisdom?"
  3. Struck by prominence of China in Eastern Europe. Forward-looking friends in Budapest sending son to Bilingual Chinese school.
  4. New apartment in Budapest is almost functional- But for better access than dial-up need to get documentation of residency. Could be headache
  5. Changing times since Thatcher- Nudge, book about approaches to minimizing market irrationality, increasingly embraced by CONSERVATIVE party
  6. In Newbury, UK on route to new HQ in Budapest.
  7. Need for new disciple: "The Anatomy of Concepts"
  8. The best advice for working with ideas is like something from a bad spy movie: "Never fully trust them. Never fall in love."
  9. Web Mktg Op- Sites that are one character off from major webpages could be linked en masse to virally popularize new content-focused sites.
  10. Attended World Future society Conference over weekend- some good sessions. Example: I'm going to start following the work of Leon Fuerth
  11. Need for a project to rethink traditional legal institutions- We define "job" and "company" too narrowly for what they will become.
  12. Are technologically driven civilizations about to move outside the traditional bounds of anthropology itself?
  13. @jde123 Ideally carbon used in replication, since that is how plants do it. Otherwise additional materials would need to be consumed.
  14. Self replicating carbon-harvesting technology (whether nanotech, biotech or chemtech) The holy grail of the early 21st century?
  15. “Planned Obsolescence” is such an energy/environmental drain. Is a "Planned Permanence" backlash coming? Razor blades that last for years?...
  16. Is increased group identification under attack the result of genetic sociobiology? Would modification reconfigure at anthropological level?
  17. If eugenics were put into use by any nation, could it start a human-modification arms race? Can this be prevented?
  18. Instead of framing the EU around medieval Chrisendom, what if it used a Neo-classical model, and extended around the Mediterranian?
  19. A generation ago, Rhodes scholars etc were sent abroad to help broaden perspectives. Should USA now do this with commercial spaceflight?
  20. Sewage is analyzed to determine local drug consumption- In theory, couldn't this expand to many types of analysis? (eg- cortisol levels etc)
