• Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill. But our genetic code still carries the selfish and aggressive instincts that were of survival advantage in the past.

Our only chance of long term survival, is not to remain inward looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.

• One reason (among many) that women may well take over the world of "virtual enterprises" is that they seem to have a greater instinct for networking.

But truth is, it has always been the age of "networkers"; and in an era where organizations depend more and more on tenuously connected outsiders to get the job done, it will only become so.
