@pinkyracr no idea!

@Dymaxion Nice. But I'd argue the civilization isn't failing. That doesn't mean it doesn't need to evolve though.
@VenessaMiemis for hand picked protégés.
@Dymaxion I read the site. I agree with it. I still hold my view that civilization has not failed. It has gotten us to where we are today.
@Dymaxion that does not mean, the way civilization has expressed itself up to this point, is the way civilization "should" continue to
@Dymaxion express itself moving forward. Change and evolution, with respect to that which has gotten us to where we are. I hold no judgement
@Dymaxion black / white, right / wrong, fail / succeed are sides of the same coin. Pull back to encompass (long term) possibilities.
@pinkyracr oh yeah. misspelling. whoops.
How many hours of calls and meetings today? So many. I'd give many more. I love my job!
@HyperionMovie is that a knitted soft shrike? I WANT!

Looking through casting submissions with my director. So many faces, say so many things. I'm always amazed at this point in the process.
What the hell was I thinking casting three generations of women? grandma, mom and daughter?! ARGH!

@frankspencer @wendyinfutures for some reason, SingU doesn't interface with the usual futurist community suspects. I wish I knew why.
@WorldFutureSoc Not the tool, knowing the breadth of its use. Unintended consequences. Wielding power wisely. @wendyinfutures @frankspencer
It's a mini-#futrchat w/ @wendyinfutures, @frankspencer, @worldfuturesoc and now @urbanverse. Hi!
@WorldFutureSoc I was super bummed to miss their session, was the same time as mine. @frankspencer @wendyinfutures
@wendyinfutures something along the lines of the UH Certificate week long program. Face to face is effective if possible. @frankspencer
@wendyinfutures @frankspencer So they can only hang out with people that agree with them? BORING! Echo chamber. :)
@WorldFutureSoc it's bound to happen. UH & SingU grads should interact for x-pollination. We can learn from each other. U can facilitate.
@frankspencer so you think they don't even know they don't know? @wendyinfutures @WorldFutureSoc
@frankspencer @wendyinfutures has/does/is futures field progressing along the spiral too? :)
@Urbanverse That's RICH! and a bit closed minded. @wendyinfutures @frankspencer @WorldFutureSoc
@Urbanverse but typical silicon valley hierarchical view. @wendyinfutures @frankspencer @WorldFutureSoc
@frankspencer @Urbanverse because they are doing hands on creating the future?
@frankspencer point taken. I have silicon valley baggage from my little man days. :)
@jbmahaffie great suggestion! let's do it @frankspencer
OH: while you've been talking to people on three different continents, I fixed the sink.
@frankspencer @jbmahaffie @wendyinfutures @Urbanverse @WorldFutureSoc wonder if we can continue convo at actual #futrchat, but not to hijack
@frankspencer great morning convo! Have a great client call!
@frankspencer I never meant to communicate that they are wrong, just limited in their worldview (well, aren't we all) @Urbanverse
@frankspencer let's please continue!
@Urbanverse @jenjarratt #futrchat is this thurs? I am happy to co-host this month! (Finally home)
@wendyinfutures @frankspencer @jbmahaffie @Urbanverse @WorldFutureSoc like that idea. I need to make coffee and start my day anyway.
@Urbanverse @jenjarratt sounds like a good idea. Will discuss with @frankspencer and see what we can make happen. #futrchat

@localrat, remind me to tell you of years living w/ Gloria in the future. The marriage article reminded me of it. Single women kicking ass.

Hi all! I've got my sparkling water here and am ready for #futrchat to begin!
RT @Urbanverse: Hello #futrchat gang, time for November Future of Food and Eating! followed by second bonus hour of future of FS Ed.
Do we have a series of questions @urbanverse @jenjarratt? #futrchat
A #futrchat about food isn't complete without a mention of vat-grown meat.
Yes! RT @mlrhea Personalized nutrition is one of those long forecast,hard to do things but wouldn't it be cool? #futrchat

@jenjarratt a large urban population cultivates strong relationship w/ outlying areas. e.g Los Angeles and San Joaquim Valley #futrchat
RT @jbmahaffie: We need heirloom bananas back, apparently #futrchat
@justinpickard Absolutely. The daily need to tend one's garden is critical, a few missed days wipes out weeks/months of work. #futrchat

@CoCreatr I think I just coined the three D's. ;) #futrchat

I gained a LOT more respect for modern farming methods after having a community garden [blogpost]: http://www.heathervescent.com/heathervescent/2011/09/respect-for-modern-farming.html #futrchat
@Urbanverse @jenjarratt totally agree. An active diverse successful city provides the market for successful food producers. #futrchat
I wonder about small vs large farm productions. the small goat farmer for limited cheese production vs strawberry fields forever. futrchat
There is a place for large factory farming and smaller limited run production. #futrchat

Apartment gardens and green spaces, places to grow things inside apartment living complex. #futrchat (this is 1 reason I hate apts.)

@jbmahaffie @kristinalford well, pretty much all software in the US is powered by peanut butter eating software engineers (the americans) ;)
@Geofutures @Urbanverse @jimmath And food is thrown out if not enough profit can be gained to cover production/transport cost. #futrchat

RT @macengr: @frankspencer And there is nothing on this in public schools or most colleges / universities. #FSed #futrchat
When you have assumptions, you limit possible solutions. Must hold mind open, set aside judgments. #futrchat #FSed

Indeed. Those (of us) in/from the tech industry believe tech can/will solve our problems. Not the case. @jenjarratt @frankspencer #futrchat
Exactly, Ideology. These are normative futures & efforts to bring about a specific type of future (technology acceleration). #futrchat #FSed
perhaps technologists are more comfortable with control (aka design) than emergence. @wendyinfutures #futrchat #FSed
The only way to know the future is to create it, coined by a control freak. ;) #futrchat #FSed

@wendyinfutures Tech Nirvana does not necessarily = human/animal/earth nirvana. It doesn't necessarily not mean it either. #futrchat #FSed

A person/group/organization can not have a broad enough nor enlightened perspective to comprehensively consider. #futrchat #FSed
No problem w/ vested interests. What I think @frankspencer is saying there is hunger to learn more. @Urbanverse @wendyinfutures #futrchat
Also at this point I will say I have no problems/issues/negativity with SingU. They lit the futures fire under my butt. #futrchat #FSed

I don't have issues with normative futures/visions, I just don't prefer them. #futrchat #FSed
@wendyinfutures I can't believe that I could create a normative future for any1 but me or a client. Too much Hubris needed. #futrchat #FSed
Feels really weird to have this convo w/out SingU people/students... like an echo chamber in a way. #futrchat #fsed
Well then let's close this part of the convo. Nice continuing it... not sure where to go from here though. cc @frankspencer #futrchat #FSed
@wendyinfutures I think that would be good. Would love to see/facilitate more dialog. #futrchat #FSed
Plus I'm kinda starving from hour 1 of future of food #futrchat. ;)
@Urbanverse @frankspencer @wendyinfutures @jenjarratt yeah, or maybe #futrchat fatigue. :)

My goal today is to teach my almost 4 yo nephew "anthropomorphic".
I gave up on anthropomorphic and now am teaching actual samurai katas to the nephew using foam swords.

Anthropomorphic Success!

@Carolineoncrack I'm blown away by the bar at Clyde Commons. (Am also here through Sat)
So, Buy Nothing Day is finally cool/hip/trendy. Meh. Whatever.
@jeffmorgen @Carolineoncrack I'm staying at the Ace so lunch or something Sat would be awesome. Besides I owe you a drink.
Having massive dose of family domesticity. Its kinda fun. (Plus legos are fun!)
@twistedcat yeah. It was actually a great use of 3D to show the shape of the cave walls.

Showing brixton pounds to @k0re and our waiter stop to ask about it gives me the opportunity to explain community currencies.

@twistedcat sure. Wanna come to WeHo this week by Wed or talk while wearing red fur? :)
@diskgrinder I don't understand? My inbox is sliced and diced by/with I don't know how many parameters.... :)
@busynessgirl it's true. But one needs to feel the community support. My attempt at that was creating my fee-losophy http://www.heathervescent.com/heathervescent/connector-feelosophy.html
@novysan oooohhh. I love that suggestion. Thanks! BTW, you gonna be in NYC anytime?
@ChiaLynn thanks for the suggestion. :)
Quality time with the dog on the sofa post Melrose walk. I missed my little guy.
