Thank you SF for a good time. I had fun.

.@WorldFutureSoc @ebonstorm I believe you can substitute the Foundation series as God Emperor Leto's unwritten 10000 yr rule. #scifi #mashup
@WorldFutureSoc @ebonstorm If that last tweet was too cryptic it was a Dune + Foundation Series mashup. :)
@snarkydork I'm with you on that!
@ebonstorm yeah, but there are aliens in it aren't there? (multiple alien races) So I axed that one mentally. It's one of my favs for sure!
@jasonporath those are good ones!
@WorldFutureSoc Its a challenge to fit two major scifi series' mashed up in a 140char tweet. :)

@jlindenger I knew you would have good suggestions! Love em!
RT @NewYorker: What would happen in a world without cash? http://nyr.kr/gey5AN
@rtgarden different strokes for different folks. (But I take your perspective.)
@llangit The Hotel Congress. You should also stay there if possible (ask 4room away from club). Also great club downstairs.
@kevinmarks it's always about timing with visionary products... the difference btwn success & obsolesce is often years.
@jlindenger I almost used that earlier today, but didn't want to show my big bang colors. I guess I'm out now. Bazinga!
@ahnie @jlindenger @worldfuturesoc Just search for Sheldon and Big Bang Theory.

@ebonstorm agreed! It's the dealing with fires way of finally dealing with change. #futrchat.
@jlindenger come join us on #futrchat Josh! Get in here! :)
Q1 Answer: Projected long term change re: Japan Nuclear = greater education about nuclear technology. Anti-hysteria. #futrchat
Q1 Answer: Time will tell whether additional eduction re: Japan Nuclear will see an increase in nuclear energy development. #futrchat #Ihope
@futuramb Really? So negative? #futrchat I disagree.
Q1a: disasters in the future? A: More of the same, but highlighted communities coming together. Wildfire spread of news. #futrchat
RT @fredmcclimans: In the case of Japan, prior earthquakes/tsunamis resulted in amazing building codes/innovation & tsunami gates. #futrchat
@ebonstorm @futuramb What is important to remember ab disasters? #futrchat The calamity, the past? Or learning, integrating 4 future?
Q2: US communities are learning big from the economic collapse of 08 and increasing resiliency through diverse transactions. #futrchat
@futuramb take your pick. Both are valid methods, but I prefer practical applications to theory. :)
RT @Urbanverse: ok, new Q2 RT @jenjarratt: Q2 What is future role of meaning & emotion in disasters? @Urbanverse blogged on this. Will w ...
@Cekent don't get all Taleb Black Swan on us! :)
@jimmath Totally agree! No one gets credit for building it right! Planners are never heros. #futrchat
@ebonstorm Great systems perspective! #futrchat
@futuramb Preppers subculture. #futrchat
@aussiefuturist Can you expound more about cultures different relation to disaster? #futrchat
@justinpickard DISAGREE!!! DISASTERS ARE NOT NEW NORMAL!!!! (please please please no!)
@justinpickard forgive my all caps! Panties in a twist!
@ebonstorm Welcome and drink from the firehose! :) #futrchat (don't worry about catching everything)
@aussiefuturist But why not move today? Because there is no more open land? #futrchat (Future of Migration?)
@futuramb not sure I know what you mean by post-disaster subculture? I think that's called a community. #futrchat
@aussiefuturist Or... our home is everywhere. These values of "my home" may be changing. #futrchat
@futuramb You mean like Holocaust? #futrchat
RT @jenjarratt: @ebonstorm Agree on firehose.There will be the whole thing published after. Then u can decide what u should have said &l ...
@Urbanverse @guyyeomans @jenjarratt Maybe in today's $$$ but the cost to produce it now much cheaper than in years past. #futrchat
RT @jenjarratt: @jimmath Q4 is on the role/future of long-term slow "disasters" climate change, for eg? #futrchat
@jenjarratt I'll be provocative (I agree w/u) but if I see my home as everywhere/crowdsourced, then less pain with my community. #futrchat
@futuramb There is some value in those memories, but not to be focused on. Learn and press into the positive future! #futrchat
RT @jenjarratt: Will throw out Q5 as well: Q5, the futurist question--what are the unanticipated long-term effects from Japan, etc? #fut ...

@futuramb @Geofutures I don't think so. #futrchat They are data points among many other data points.
@guyyeomans @MareeConway YES! But this mindset is happening locally. #futrchat
@jlindenger @Geofutures Turn up the heat? #futrchat (Map the system and apply leverage?) #futrchat
@jenjarratt @Cekent @futuramb @Geofutures Cassandra complex is a usual experience 4 me, even b4 my futures work. :( #futrchat
@aussiefuturist @jlindenger @Geofutures Slow as value is a tough sell until human spiritual evolution. #futrchat
@ebonstorm Don't use dollar as a motivator. When you take $$ out of the equation a totally separate motivation enters/rules. #futrchat
RT @fredmcclimans: Slow disasters are really negative long-term trends that hit the tipping point. #futrchat
RT @CoCreatr: Long term effects fr Japan likely big boost 4 people connecting, better energy tech, resilience, policies http://t.co/QCm ...
@lloydwalker re: non-lethal energy. Does that even exist? I don't think so. #futrchat
@lloydwalker I'd like it too, don't get me wrong... just haven't seen any stats. #futrchat
@jenjarratt @MareeConway @guyyeomans great idea for #futrchat! how to get to planetary mindset!!!!
@Urbanverse @lloydwalker but is solar really non-lethal? Not convinced. #futrchat
RT @JPN4: RT @jenjarratt: Q6 (Are there some ways in which disasters are good for our future? Think we've had some examples of that. #fu ...
@aussiefuturist YES! #futrchat
@mhbx indeed I am familiar with Spiral Dynamics. How could you guess? ;) #futrchat
RT @lloydwalker: Q6: A- Good disasters? Meteor strike that wiped dinosaurs and allowed ascendance of mammals. Depends on perspective doe ...
@ebonstorm Oh, come on - diversity is a beautiful thing! How boring if we all reacted/responded the same way. ;) #futrchat
@jenjarratt @mhbx I'm not hopeful about spiral dynamic evolution. #futrchat Unless boomeritis can evolve beyond fake-enlightened. #futrchat
@jenjarratt @mhbx At least, not in my lifetime. Eventually...perhaps. Course, I would love to be wrong. #futrchat
@ebonstorm who's saying what is a "bad" response? ;) #futrchat (the philosopher me just took over)
RT @justinpickard: Being in the eye of a storm is a pretty special experience. Some way to capture that emotional response; that #sensaw ...
@justinpickard The Suicide Club, Cacophony Society and my company The Purple Tornado. All (try to) evoke the storm & eye of it. #futrchat
@ebonstorm Provocative: how could we have a "better" world with certain specific extensions? #futrchat
@ebonstorm that was supposed to be "extinctions" #futrchat
@jenjarratt Very Intense for me too. Loved the dialog. Diverse views. Evoking the practical and philosophical perspectives. #futrchat
RT @CASUDI: A6 Disasters remind us we need to work together to solve problems #futrchat
Really excellent #futrchat! Thank you to all participants esp @Urbanverse & @jenjarratt for organizing!
Postive perspective medals for #futrchat go to @CASUDI @mhbx and @jimmath. Thanks for playing!
@fredmcclimans @CoCreatr it was the electricity to the plant that got cut off. Back up gennys could not produce enough to run all. #futrchat
@CASUDI @Geofutures @Urbanverse @jenjarratt @fredmcclimans Totally! Thanks for the catch! #futrchat.
@mhbx :) I'm with you. Cynical, but at the same time hopeful and optimistic. #futrchat
Yes, pls stick with us. You get used to the firehose. :) #futrchat
@Urbanverse I did! Much more!:) Great great great convo! Love these! #futrchat
@mhbx @jenjarratt True. I stand corrected! #futrchat
@CoCreatr it was great to see you on here!
@fredmcclimans @mhbx just got my copy. Excited to dig into Spiral Dynamics more! #futrchat
If you participated in #futrchat and are not on this list (http://twitter.com/#!/heathervescent/futrchat-ers) let me know.
@chris23 you should be on there. I've been watching you! Happy to see you in #futrchat!

@ahnie @jlindenger yeah BBT is not on watch it now. You can order it.
