Lo-- the slacker returns

Sorry for the lack of update (who do I really apologize to...?). I think that these posts need to begin having thesis. Anyway, I was surprisingly busy for a "break" last week (hence the lack of a post).

It is time to look into the green economy. I find the oncoming sustainability market as absolutely fascinating. As my understanding of (1) economics and (2) sustainability grows, so does my interest in the oncoming move. I'm a bit uncertain as to exactly where the innovation will come from (India or China, likely), but as an economy, and as a society, I think that the generational swing of inventiveness will strike again in the next decade or so.

Let's face it, most of the world is slowly becoming aware that resources are in fact, limited. Solving the problem for providing more people with less raw material is indeed the $100 billion question.

Too many ways to approach this... myriad problems to solve and myriad ways to solve them (=myriad² solutions?) means that the late-21^st century world will be defined by people and ideas (literally and figuratively) coming from all directions at once.... biotech, physical sciences, sociology, policy, agricultural... At this point, you can take your pick as to which will be the first pebble in the avalanche, but you're certain that it will come.

To make a long rant (thankfully) shorter, I think that it'd be really cool to be involved on the ground floor of something this big (karmic and financial rewards notwithstanding). It's all a matter of knowing which horse to back for this race. Or just running for yourself.

There's certainly a lot going on out there (you can reference any number of texts), and any predictions from my non-expert vantage would strictly be grasping at straws. You can, however, be assured that the billionaires of the next decade will be made in this industry.

Keep your ear to the ground. It's coming.
