The zeitgeist of our times has shifted. In fact, the spirit of our times is a little out of whack. We have recently elected a president whose very name rhymingly reminds us of the triple whammyof Iraq-Hussein-Osama, we have gone from ?2020 Vision? to tunnel vision in less than 18 months, and Iceland, the country with the world?s highest standard of living, is now bankrupt. The economy is in a flux, Generation Y commerce and law graduates are getting paid up to 20K for not going to work in 2009, and no longer do we talk excitedly about ?negative gearing? at the neighbourhood barbeque. Because of Moore?s Law, computer power doubles every 18-24 months, smashing old human thinking versions to smitherines. About the only constant in the world is that my cat, Finnegan, still thinks like a dog. Unfortunately, change doesn?t care whether you like it. There is now a real sense - ?a vibe? - that we are moving through a global paradigm shift in thinking.
