How a 'shared vision' can impact our future in Western Australia

If you've ever considered how a positive or negative outlook impacts your reality, consider how a shared group outlook on the future can impact the reality of a state or nation.

Howard Bloom, author of Global Brain, has just released a new book, entitled Genius of the Beast where he explores 'group think' in relation to potential futures for the United States. The book draws on serious scientific research. Giving America a Vision Implant—Crayfish, Neurochemicals and the Future of Your Civilization

What is the 'shared vision' that we have in Western Australia?

C2030 Broome - Community Summit with a focus on the future of Broome

Being a regular visitor to Broome does nothing to overcome the very real sense of isolation & remoteness that one feels during the descent into Broome after the two hour plus flight north from Perth.

There is certainly no shortage of real estate going begging in this region. In fact quite a few European countries would fit comfortably into all the empty space around Broome.

Blessed with significant natural resources including oil and gas as well as being a stone's throw from Indonesia, Broome is right in the middle of a very interesting geographical and economic region.

Tomorrow I'll report on the ideas and viewpoints of politicians and business leaders as they attempt to articulate a future vision for Broome and the Kimberleys at the C2030 summit.

Vision, Human Activity & the limiting factors of Belief

Carver Mead made it clearer yet: Moore's Law, he says, "is really about people's belief system, it's not a law of physics, it's about human belief, and when people believe in something, they'll put energy behind it to make it come to pass." In case that was not clear enough he spells it out further:

"After [it] happened long enough, people begin to talk about it in retrospect, and in retrospect it's really a curve that goes through some points and so it looks like a physical law and people talk about it that way. But actually if you're living it, which I am, then it doesn't feel like a physical law. It's really a thing about human activity, it's about vision, it's about what you're allowed to believe. Because people are really limited by their beliefs, they limit themselves by what they allow themselves to believe what is possible. "

Is the curve of progress inevitable ?
