We're at this point in history where two trends are converging. First, there's the ability of ever smaller groups of people to wield ever greater havoc. Second, there are the human-influenced changes in the natural world which are beginning to cause unnatural harm.
Couple this with the declining power of the nation-state and the increasing proclivity of capital to congeal at the top of global markets while isolating other factors of society--man, you've got yourself a hell of a pitch for a disaster movie.
I'm not paranoid (who's there?); I don't think the world will end in a bang and/or a whimper within my lifetime. But there are children to consider, and mysterious forces at work. And, god help my fuzzy brain, I want to try and help sift through them.

Well you will be immortalized in a presentation on the opportunities for knowledge management at FDOH and ESF-8.
Let me know how you're doing and what your contact info is. I'll send you a .pdf of the wiki site so far. Wish you were here to help.
