Yi-Tan #383: The State of the World - Monday, Feb. 4, 2013 at 10:30am Pacific

[Jerry Michalski]

Greetings, 

We're just back from our first trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the first one in a few years that wasn't set amid global firestorms such as the 2008 financial crisis, the Occupy movement and the near-meltdown of the Eurozone -- not to mention climate, food and water.

Given that context, this Davos may have been a little too "business as usual."

Is that right? Where do you think the world is these days?

Together, let's discuss:

• Where are we in the grand scheme? Imminent collapse? Typical crises? Things are getting better?
• Whose opinions make the most sense to you? 
• What's the most important action to take now? What effects will that action have on world markets?

This call will help us set up for a call about the Singularity that we will hold on March 4.

As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan.

We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter.
