Google and Facebook as the dark force…
Silicon Valley should follow Google and create a $1bn journalism fund

EXTRACT
Europe has assumed the role of digital media regulator in the apparent absence of a moral compass within these platforms that exert increasing influence over our lives.

Tom Atlee: Listening for Change
Cultural Intelligence, IO Deeds of Peace
Good facilitation can help us hear each other in ways that free up our collective energy for change. Here is a provocative story about how nonviolence activists can use that power – and the spirit with which it needs to be used to be most effective.
Listening for Change: A remarkable essay by a remarkable colleague
Rosa Zubizarreta and I have been colleagues for more than two decades. She was part of a group in the early-mid 1990s that critiqued drafts of a book I was writing on co-intelligence. Years later, she was the driving force to get my first published book, THE TAO OF DEMOCRACY, actually written, edited, and out in the world. She became my closest companion in the realm of Dynamic Facilitation and Wisdom Councils, vital tools in both our efforts. Her masters thesis on Dynamic Facilitation evolved into a DF training manual and then into her truly breakthrough book FROM CONFLICT TO CREATIVE COLLABORATION. I recommend her Dynamic Facilitation trainings whenever I can.
Robert Steele: What Business Is Google In? Mass Surveillance. Period.
#OSE Open Source Everything, Commerce, Corruption, IO Impotency
Reflecting on Eric Schmidt's idiocy of yesterday, and the failure of Google to render useful tools enhancing public understanding and power, I asked a few folks what business Google was in, and how we should interpret their introducing of Google Fiber to major cities.
The answer is: Google is in the business of mass surveillance, and Google Fiber is how NSA takes the next step. Never mind that they will not process more than 1% of what they capture — they will have to power to zero in on anyone.
In my view, we need to accelerate attention toward decentralized blockchain forms of technology as well as increased valuation of face to face human interaction. I have called for the elimination of the NRO, NSA, and NGA and the creation of an Open Source (Technologies) Agency. I still see potential in Amazon, ESRI, Facebook, Google, and Oracle, to name a few large firms, but they lack the commitment to creating public wealth for the good of all that I see as the essence of our role going forward. It's worth noting that AT&T is kicking Google's ass on the fundamentals while Verizon is looking at Yahoo for the wrong reasons.

Sepp Hasslberger: Graphene Displacing Batteries?
05 Energy
Batteries are out – well not quite yet – but super capacitors are coming.
Laser-Induced Graphene Looks to Displace Batteries With Supercapacitors
The key attribute of LIG is how comparatively easy it is to produce as opposed to graphene made via chemical vapor deposition. For LIG, all that is needed is a commercial polyimide plastic sheet and a computer-controlled laser. The Rice researchers discovered that the laser would burn everything on the polyimide except the carbon from the top layer. What remains is a form of graphene.

VIDEO: Billionaires' Breakthrough Energy Coalition: No Manufacturing?
In a move clearly timed to coincide with the Paris COP 21 climate change talks, more than 20 of the world’s wealthiest people have announced the formation of the Breakthrough Energy Coalition.
I suspect that “$.10 in 10 years” will absolutely be achievable.
