human genome 60k years old but civiliazation only 10k years old
very stable and conservative
Gutenberg introduces new literacy - printing press
enlightenment, peer review, scientific revolution
mass cities, mass media, mass cities = liberalis, around 250 years
economist - halfway there
half planet has a mobile phone
2010 - 4billion mobiles
even poor have resources
no one late we are just delayed
web here for 10 years before we figured out what to do with it
SMS - 43 billion texts last year
fluid , flexible, mobile, pervasive, inexorable
we have a liberal civilization
conservative is old thinking
