    1. 1.  

     

    The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways. The comments are by Riddle Sideways with Yakuzza and Lila.  

    Which is interesting that about half the talk is about how all is Being more connected and yet the focus would be toward the limited/disappearing.

     

    Riddle Sideways: Hello again, Listener Master
    Riddle Sideways: you must know much about Equanimity
    Riddle Sideways: calmly listening to the group chatter and buzzing
                             --BELL--
             /wonder what this sentence is about.  Started a few weeks ago.  Anybody know?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: 's current display-name is "Yaku".


    Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning too you i hope, riddle
    Riddle Sideways: and a good [time unit] greeting to you, Yak :)
    Riddle Sideways: remembering all those Time disscussions
    Riddle Sideways: they were fun
    Yakuzza Lethecus: it´s still a good feeling to see that the globe is turning into a virtual village
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Riddle Sideways: most still complain(fight) over some virtual lines on paper
    Riddle Sideways: between a us and a them
    Riddle Sideways: but, is getting better
    Riddle Sideways: time zones not so important

    Yakuzza Lethecus: sure, i was just thinking of of oil before and how countries with low population density have advantages only through such benefits
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Riddle Sideways: Oil sure causes problems

    Yakuzza Lethecus: well, fortunatly water isn´t an issue here
    Riddle Sideways: it is here
    Riddle Sideways: need to build a desalt plant
    Riddle Sideways: and how to pay for it
                             --BELL--
    Yakuzza Lethecus: hey lila :)
    Lila Darkmatter: Hello Yaku and Riddle :)
    Lila Darkmatter: just popping in for a moment... please don't let me interrupt
    Yakuzza Lethecus: is water an issue in florida ?
    Lila Darkmatter: it is an issue everywhere, with regard to how it is treated
    Lila Darkmatter: and we do have shortages during droughts
    Riddle Sideways: Hi Lila
    Lila Darkmatter: Hello Riddle :)
    Riddle Sideways: water is shortage in some of California
    Riddle Sideways: our water gets shipped away to LA
    Lila Darkmatter nods... don't you also bring in water from Colorado?
    Riddle Sideways: some
    Riddle Sideways: the Colorado river dies before getting to the ocean
    Lila Darkmatter thinks of the water politics re the Himalayas
    Riddle Sideways: so many issues everywhere
    Lila Darkmatter: most people don't realize that when people argue over boundaries they are 20 years ahead trying to divy up resources thta will become scarce
    Lila Darkmatter: *that
    Riddle Sideways: Water, Oil, Coal, Air
    Lila Darkmatter nods
    Lila Darkmatter: so we need people to get 50 years ahead of those people... and come up with innovations
         Imagine a Morse's Law on natural resources.  We use up half, but the supply doubles. [a nice dream].
    Lila Darkmatter: :)
    Riddle Sideways: getting comfortable with virtually no borders helps
    Riddle Sideways: the mental attuitude
    Lila Darkmatter: hope so - sure helps in the moment to moment
             Watch this twist of resource usage
    Yakuzza Lethecus: the water from the fountain comes mainly from coal here ? or what´s the main ressource for electricity in the us ?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: was thinking how sl is supplied with electricity :P
    Lila Darkmatter: ah :)
    Lila Darkmatter: with the US generally it is coal.. but you know it seems cleaner to be on computers but the (is it - servers[?]) are enormous... like walmarts.. burning energy constantly
    Riddle Sideways: electric water
                             --BELL--
    Lila Darkmatter: so to keep something like facebook or twitter going is very consumptive, though it feels not so... a bit like drones
    Riddle Sideways: yeah, funny feeling

    Lila Darkmatter: btw Riddle I thought of you when I got this notice from a group today: Please join us for the first discussion about the book: “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom on Wednesday January the 9th, 2013 at 6 pm SLT.

    Riddle Sideways: thinking about the topic-o-the-week Equanimity
    Riddle Sideways: calmness in the face
    Yakuzza Lethecus: maybe all 9 seconds should be equanimity of watching
    Riddle Sideways: of all the problems in the world
    Riddle Sideways: good point
    Riddle Sideways: need to go
    Yakuzza Lethecus: equanimity vs carelessness
