[Oe List ...] response to Jean Watts on Jeremy Rifkin

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Thanks, Jim. In the movie, there's a lot of new age  stuff (even 
E.T.witnesses) before it gets to the economic/political  stuff, which was a new way of 
looking at the big banks/the military-industrial  complex/oil companies and 
big government's role in allying with them. At  least it was new to me. 
 
Also in the movie, a biologist speaks of how voracious caterpillars are.  
They, like the "one percent" consume everything in their paths, until  they 
go dormant in the pupa stage and are digested as energy for the butterfly.  
Wiping out greedy caterpillars would also wipe out butterflies.
 
I really appreciate your response. Any news on your daughter-in-law?
 
Blessings,
Jann

I wandered around the web site, Jann.  Looks like almost the whole  new age 
movement is there . . .

burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be 
thankful for those people who rekindle the inner  spirit.  Albert Schweitzer

Last night I watched the movie Thrive, and  found it to be an illuminating 
narrative of where humanity is in the context  of biological and historical 
evolution. The narrator is a Gamble (of  Proctor and Gamble.) The way he 
lays out the Economic/Political allies  and how they create human suffering is 
amazing. A friend bought the movie he  bought from _www.thrivemovement.com_ 
(http://www.thrivemovement.com/) . It struck  me as a comprehensive picture. 
If anyone else has seen it, I'd love  feedback.

I have just finished reading Jeremy Rifkin's book, The Third  Industrial 
Revolution, where he lays out what Jean watts is saying in her  recent email 
about collaborative methods.  Rifkin makes the  convincing point that the 
third industrial revolution (first one in 19th  C, second in the 20th) is 
already happening as computer technology  combines with alternative energy 
sources.  This revolution will be  lateral rather than centralized or top down. 
(i.e. Arab Spring and Occupy  Wall Street) and thus collaborative.  This 
revolution is transforming  energy, the economy and the world.  ICA methods fit 
perfectly in this  new mix.
