<Maurice, sitting in his sandbox, waiting, playing a game he thinks is not zero sum:0)>

Hahaha! While there is an element of zero-summism in the human realm, take a snapshot of 1900, Y2K and Now in downtown Auckland.

You will not see an unchanging scene of zero summism. It's an endless summer of life, liberty and libidinous productivity. A burgeoning world of endless creativity, energy, improvement; more and more people of wider and wider types with an ethereal cyberspace weaving invisibly through, around, above and below binding all to each other and similar hordes around the world.

Day by day there are new buildings, planes coming and going and a million new ideas swarming into the zeitgeist.

I am not waiting. I am watching in awe at the most amazing developments in biological history, which are suspiciously happening right now during our little flicker of consciousness.

It's a lot of fun,
but the fun has just begun.

PS: If you take snapshots of downtown Shanghai in 1900, Y2K and Now you will notice something similar. Even right outside your Hong Kong door! Or even inside your door. More and more people are joining in. India is about to start producing petatrillions of cdma2000 phragmented photons to weave themselves into the Zeitgeist. Another billion people will provide turbo-charging to an already breathless process.

Hey Jay, where are those PPT folks when they are really urgently needed to swat down the gold price so that you can top up the air tank before the descent into the deep dark abyss?

Hoping for a swat down of POG:0(

Chugs, Jay
