Hi,

Not sure if this is related enough to this list, but the current online Debate at The Economist seems to have some relation to the issues of interest to people here.
Actually, I suspect some (of us) here might have some ideas for how the world could wise up a little better and faster....:) Hmm so maybe that's the real issue.
