And I have this poem running through mine: "Now we are six" and I'm thinking
of John Guare's "Six Degrees of Separation" and of the purported fact that
any two people of the 6 billion on this planet are only 6 clicks away, if you
know the right people to click. And I think: The technical system is a third
of the way to matching the human system.
Tha should be the goal, right? Six clicks?
