If we believe the transformation from the current technological, post-modern era to the forthcoming electrical, post-human era requires a human catalyst, then the posts thus far are as good a guess as any: visionary communication fused with enthusiasm.
Your question presupposes that we can strategize some plan of action to effect change seemingly slowed by heel-dragging participants. The premise is not unusual but rooted in our post-industrial mentality of "managing" change.
However, I believe we are on a collision course with the coming changes. The convergence of the electro-mechanical with the electro-chemical is emerging at the speed of LIFE and will hit the future square between the eyes.
My suggestion to those stuck in the institutionalized rut? Brace yourselves for impact. (posted 10/19/09)
