When one thinks of the development of global communications - postal, telephone, internet, what comes next? - one can see the growth of a global "nervous system" for humankind. The information, ideas, feelings, spirituality, ethics, stories, etc that flow through that nervous system constitute the collective global mind. Wendi, I like the idea of BQ as a geodesic dome covering the whole world of interesting ideas. That's less restrictive than being a private study - and, yet, there is an element of the private study i BQ as well. “Collective mind” is a good phrase.

I am happy to have been pointed to Lisa's blogging home by a fellow visitor and I'm sure I'll be back. I've been popping in and out of Toby's living room for quite a while now - always something interesting going on there, and I do like to leave a comment from time to time. Actually I think you're on to something, Toby. Your living room? My private study? I guess that feels about right. Hmm, I shall have to think about this. Lisa, Toby, many thanks for your comments.
