hi, everyone.
i thought first it might be statring the obvious. however i feel it's important to highlight some definite signs of non-3d developments in very much 3d environment.

one of major characteristic of our beloved 3d society is its hierarchical structure.

if you look at some of the recent developments, it's pretty clear that hierarchical gives way to something qualitatively different - community and communal based foundation.

some of the most high level wins in this area are:
barak's win over hilary - this is community/grass roots based financing model vs traditional hierarchical fund raising. it obviously was a huge factor behind his win, and also i belive will be his lever to power going forward, especiually in light of recent news that he rejects using public (government) financing.

second: google vs. microsoft (or the rest of the world). google business model and idea itself is very much community oriented, as oppose to being hierarchical/corporate etc. the world is clearly going google-way, meaning that more and more power given to the end user, as oppose to the powerholding entity (whether it's a corporation or a person). many refer to modern times as a. g as oppose to b. g., (after google, vs. before google). and no i'm not an employee of google.

naturally the idea of internet itself is ultimately community based. and here we come to the emergence and growth of sites like this one, where the community,the collective intention and focus, create the tremendously powerful vortex of positive energy.

so hierarchical 3d structures, of mostly negative orientation, fall out and give way to community based initiatives, often internet based communal society.
i take it that even the bad and negative developments of recent times, like ever increasing gas prices, will inevitably lead to more communal life. for instance i know of several example where people increasingly start commute with each other (car pooling), people beging to talk, share the ideas etc. and there may be other forms of breaking down of individual/hierarchical barriers, which we don;t see yet today, but they will be here tomorrow.

all this is very much a literal expression of 4d, at least i perceive them as such.
do forumers agree with this or am i taking it too far or not far enough?

love to all
