Y2K responses and flawed mindsets, draft only

["Laurence J.Victor" <nuu@azstarnet.com>]

Roberto,  Your draft is an excellent overview.  Instead of commenting
on detail, I will refer you to my 40page paper in May, The Y2K
Movement: Analysis & Recommendations,
http://www.azstarnet.com/~nuu/Y2K/Responses_to_AR/Y2K_A&R.htm , where
I suggest some other systemic and psychological factors.

I don't know what posting such overviews accomplish.  Although my
posting received about a dozen positive responses (including some
voice phone calls by people while in the middle of reading), and it is
linked to many sites, there is NO ACTION on any of the critical
recommendations.  I see this as a difficulty that is systemic to
ourselves !!!!  Technologies of virtual collaboration are currently
inadequate (adequate systems could be cobbled together in a month or
two if it was important to the movement). See my: NEED FOR R&D ON
COLLABORATION,
http://www.azstarnet.com/~nuu/Y2K/BillDale_msg-colab.htm and
http://www.azstarnet.com/~nuu/Y2K/nucomms.htm .

I feel that the WHOLE SYSTEM is much bigger than any of us are
currently considering.  Personally I find myself sometimes locked in
working with a "system" of about 5 major domains, only to "awaken" to
the realization that I was ignoring a few equally relevant domains
(that I had previously considered) -- only to slip into working with a
"system" again involving only part of the relevant domains.  We are
facing a limitation of the human brain for individuals and augmented
collaboration is a necessity so ALL relevant domains can be kept
active in the working community.
