I love how the European lady dodges the question around 27:00 about lack of European innovation. If she were honest, she would've just admitted that Europe has way too much red tape and socialism to produce innovative enterprises. Instead she just starts rambling about regulations. Typical European response.

Howard Bloom released a video in the seventies (and a book FLICKER) called The Global Brain which made the argument Flicker that electronic media will become the nervous system of the world - so that one cell in the global body knows the problems and solutions FLICKE FLICKER being experienced by every other cell in the body. Seems like that day is upon us. Flicker flicker flicker....
