All the thinkers in the world are going to Melbourne Australia in a short time from now.
This is an untoward turn of events for everyone else in the world, isn’t it?
There is a conference there that all the thinkers in the world are going to, namely the 12th International Conference on Thinking (ICOT).
The ICOT will offer participants the chance to learn, reflect, discuss and be actively involved in thinking through new possibilities for the future.
What is the ICOT? It’s a party for thinkers. They get to smooze and play around with different and exotic kinds of thinking and thought. Plenary sessions, workshops and presentations from a variety of the keynote speakers crossing over and complimenting several strands of Business, Science/Technology/Mathematics, Health/Wellbeing, Arts/Humanities, Education, Sustainability/Environment and Peace. Uber-geekdom, in other words. Kind of like MacWorld, but without the Mac.
The conference will be held this year during July 4-8.
What the problem is, is what is left for the rest of us. Who knows?
Congress might begin signing into emergency law legal bits of foolishness – oh, wait.
General Motors might lose a billion dollars in sales because of their extremely poor, unthinking mismanagement . . .
They might put Condoleezza Rice in charge of diplomacy with the Middle East, North Korea, and other parts of the world . . .
George Lucas might give us an utter bomb of a Star Wars sequel after all . . .
The United States government might be thinking about revamping Social Security into a crap shoot based on playing the stock and bond market . . .
Actually, see? We are feeling the effects of all these thinkers leaving for another part of the world already, aren’t we?
Soon the world will be bottom heavy, with the most massive weight of thinkerdom moving down under, even for a while. Who knows the effect this will have on the rest of the world? – Or not.
Anyone know anyone else we can sent to this thing?
I wonder if this is successful enough, perhaps they all won’t come back.
