The elections are combat, not some interesting and sensitive conversation at the university table. What do you thinks doing the 24 was……Not a sophisticated wine chat at your local bar.
Doing the 24 was modeling a future, not destroying folk. Combat mode was a great WWII metaphor when JWM talked tactics. The issue for me is how do we get past combat mode on 11/9? Or is this the new normal? -----Original Message----- From: OE [mailto:oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net] On Behalf Of Bob Booher via OE Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2016 11:44 AM To: oe@lists.wedgeblade.net Cc: Bob Booher Subject: [Oe List ...] what....?

The idea that the campaign is war, not a campaign -- I've heard numerous times. Now it is time to get past combat imagery [oh, no! all video games support that!] and move to something that deals with differences in a different way. I see that our emotions run most of our beliefs and decisions, so this will be quite a challenge. Maybe more women in government leadership roles can help this to turn a corner? I hope we don't remain "armchair" on whether this is "the new normal." What say we? It is not only G 2 that is out there in the world. We can add our wisdom-clout-sageness-moral persuasion-reflection-civility-intention-care on this. Let each of us think on how we might add our influence toward generating a new civility. Erik Erickson (*Identity and the Life Cycle*) delineated the last two stages of life as: Generativity vs. Stagnation, and finally, Integrity vs. Despair.

Thanks for this, particularly Joyce (Joy?) -- A couple of years ago, folks in Oklahoma City hosted a get together and had a group CSIS present their analysis of the trends having the most impact on the shape of our world out to 2035. The called it "Seven Revolutions". One was Governance. These 7 and likely others are swirling around us, including the Presidential campaigns here in the US, and it often seems as though we are trying to pretend nothing radical is going on. Personally, I have been looking around for an old poem by the Russian Yevgeny Yevtushenko about being past 30 and fearing the nights. I have also been listening intently to some of the Lyrics of Leonard Cohen's songs, especially the line "there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in . . ." - Global Trends: Seven Revolutions - Revolution 1: Population - Revolution 2: Resource Management - Revolution 3: Technology - Revolution 4: Information and Knowledge - Revolution 5: Economics - Revolution 6: Security - Revolution 7: Governance The Future of Global Governance CIVIL SOCIETY/NGOS, MULTILATERALS, & THE FUTURE OUTLOOK We have crossed into a new period of governance—from the Westphalian nation-state system to a world with a powerful set of actors outside of traditional governments. The challenges of the previous revolutions will test our leaders as they seek innovative solutions. Strategic coalitions consisting of governments, corporations, NGOs, and academic institutions will be necessary in mounting effective responses and capitalizing on important opportunities.
