13-10-2011 23:36 Big Thinkers is a former ZDTV (later TechTV) television program. It featured a half-hour interview with a "big thinker" in science, technology, and other fields. Interviews were filmed in a 16:9 format and intercut with public domain material from the Prelinger Archives. This archival footage (mostly film clips from the 1940's and 50's) was used to create visual metaphors highlighting the speaker's points. This episode features Alvin Toffler. He is an American writer and futurist, known for his works discussing the digital revolution, communications revolution, corporate revolution and technological singularity. A former associate editor of Fortune magazine, his early work focused on technology and its impact (through effects like information overload). Then he moved to examining the reaction of and changes in society. His later focus has been on the increasing power of 21st century military hardware, weapons and technology proliferation, and capitalism. (Text from Wikipedia)

Technology Narcissism and Organizational Grandiosity are both movements of denial of what resides in the future paradigm. The hallmarks are denial the inability to tell the truth to ourselves are unfortunate symptoms of our times. We have a highly integrated economy with most of our activity reliant on cheap energy availability and inputs. The public has been bombarded by propaganda aimed at the voting public but biased to vested interests trying strenuously to loot and gather other peoples money for speculation. We are entering a period where we are going to have investment capital scarcities. Investment capital will be very scarce. Its going to become impossible to develop a technological solution set.
