Everytime we increase the circle of our market, globalizing, we meet with those already standing in the transition zone. They are the ones who are at the right place, at the right time. But their methods to gain wealth from the transition, and they may even convert some or all of it to power, like a surfer trying to ride the wave as long as they can, eventually, subsides. The cost of coming together is always increased by those who want to profit from it, rather than to give back to help humanity progress quicker in helping each other.
We are like water. We are actually mostly water. And water has a way in winning over time.
