Brian Eno’s condensed thoughts on the essence of culture. From a seminar about long term thinking given with Will Wright: “Playing with Time” for the Long Now Foundation in San Fransisco, June 26, 2006.
Kevin Kelly (Feb 2011): the future is about 6 verbs:
- Screening – we are moving from being “people of the book” to “people of the screen”
- Interacting
- Sharing
- Accessing — not owning
- Flowing – streams/flows of data and information, tags, clouds, not pages, real time, always on (24x7x3765), everywhere, no sense of being completed, feeds, flows of data, books will operate in this same environment
- Generating – not copying; pressure on things to become free; value is in things that cannot be copied (easily or cheaply). We want “easy to pay for but hard to copy”; things such as:

Today is the start of the shift into the 9th wave of the Mayan calendar. It lasts 234 days untill October 28. From now on we’re going to experience life at 20X speed. Each timeframe takes only 18 days instead of 360 as were used to since 1999.
As the evolution of consciousness accelerates, we will experience the shift differently, depending on our perceptions, intentions and conditioning. One thing seems clear: what will happen is up to us. So it’s important to take some time to purify the mind, open our hearts, and align with the soul and higher truth and connect with others who are consciously making this journey in service to all beings. –AW
