I noticed a new site called Street Prophets: Faith and Politics.  This site is an outgrowth of DailyKos, which is THE community site for the democratic party, and in terms of a blogging community, is head and shoulders above any other.  Here is Kos's post for the site. 


For anyone with interest in Integral Politics, or Spirit and Politics, I think it is incumbent to enter a site like this, and test your ideas, thoughts, commitments, in the fire of a larger community.  Also, in a previous post, I've commented how those who are religious/spiritual, but not fundamentalist, have to do a better job of reaching out in this society.

My interest in politics is less than a lot of others, and it isn't something I write about much.  But I have created an account, and have a feeling I will occasionally be posting there.  And I urge others who appreciate "theories of everything" - Wilber or Kazlev or another's theory of everything  - to participate as well.

In another post on future training - what has been called elearning 2.0 - and also following up on Coolmel's great Tetrameshing Web2.0, I there's a great graphic that I think most people would find very interesting.

Here is Scott Wilson's Vision of VLE's - or the future Virtual Learning Environments. 

I've written before on these type of future VLE's, and some things we can expect from them - but this brings a different shift in the focus, as what Scott Wilson is pointing to - along with many others - is a type of bottom up perspective - where the person, the profile, the connected interests, and the subsequent communication, form the backbone of of the virtual cloud the user - as agent - is operating in. 

This also connects very strongly to Michaeul Bauwens P2P and Human Evolution: Placing Peer to Peer Theory in an Integral Framework, and suggests the social environment that will come to exist in different communities.  I've had some email correspondence with Michael - not only is he incredibly bright, but a grace and humor shine through in his communications, that are very "lightening".  I highly recommend going through his work - (with the warning that it is very dense.)

At any rate, always fun to envision the future, and see what hopefully will be coming down the pike.
