jimscarver: not much happening, were taling about MS sharepoint
David: hey jim youll love this quote i found from a book called "Collective Knowledge"
David: A new reality exists. Unlike all previous foundation for wealth land and natural resourcdes in the preindustrial age and capital and machinery in the industral age --- Knowlege can be given away and retained at the same time. We have shifted from a zero sum game, where one side always wins and the other side always loses, to a win win game, wehre all sides can potentially win throughtknowledge sharing.
David: <end Quote>
jimscarver: great. you goinf to stick it in the wiki?
David: yeah its been said but its nice to have another someone come to the same conclusion
David: it is interesting to see what they term foundations for wealth
David: and how it moves from land to capital to knowledge
David: Knowledge applied  technology in my view so wealth is finding ways to utilize abundant resources
David: that is a worthy goal regardless of what our view of the long term results in this grand game of human history
David: it seems so simple to me
jimscarver: so much to do.... about time for train, should i stick this in the diary, not much here till the end....your stuff
David: is it easy to grab the last part?
