</span>Humanity is in the process of a very significant transition to a<br>
state of organization which is much more globalized and much more<br>
ICT-based than anything that we have experience with.<br>

much at stake.<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>

(*) I mean "democracy" in the sense of the literal meaning of the<br>
word, as explained in a recent posting on this list and also at<br>
