World Peace

Can Open Source save the world? I have this naive utopian vision of the world as a place where machines have freed mankind to spend our days in creative bliss. Creating for the pure joy of it. The idea is that by giving everyone an voice through community created, shared and supported technology we can have a more civil world. Sappy I know, but I keep it in mind so that we have one more person who is tilting the balance toward making this fantasy a reality. Unfortunately the reality is that world can be cruel and that cruelty can starts with something as small as being nice to the cashier at the grocery store. We are all neighbours on this planet and the more we talk and demystify one another the more we can bring good ideas together to accomplish something greater. And the best part is we will birth those good ideas together because it's what's best for all of us. Human Beings, The United Earth Brain.
