Re: welcome home

glad to hear your 'voice' again, hernia recovery a bit LESS bumpy this week-- I am in the midst of a Project Zero Summer Institute on the Future of Learning, with three foci— Globalization, the Digital Revolution, and the Biological Revolution (neuroscience, genetics, psychopharmacology), so far, so good
today we talked about globalization and the enormous role of speed—how within days the whole world felt the shock of the Lehman brothers meltdown in mid September--how a single question at Obama's news conference (about SKip Gates and James Crowley) pushed health care off the national radat screen === and now, from your world, how Goldman Sachs cashes in on trades carried out milliseconds before those done by the less technoexpert--

raises interesting Martin Nowakl questions about the speed of biological, cultrural, and cognitive evolutions
