Without rules, nothing can be accomplished 
https://www.waterflowon.com/blog?category=2&article=44
Nowadays all people in the world talk about the new company culture that emphasizes less control, more freedom, letting people manage themselves, as a way of engaging a team. Fewer and fewer people are emphasizing the rules. It seems like they are outdated, and that you can go very well without rules. I have been there, but I went even further and tried to let my team go without any routine. I didn’t require them to work during normal office hours, or even to come to the office. Doing things without a plan or any milestones. I just focused on the work they generated for me. You get the idea. We tested it on ourselves to the extreme.

Gaps in Understanding
http://www.angelblog.net/Angel_Investors_VCs_and_Entrepreneurs_Gaps_in_Understanding.html
I believe one of the reasons startups fail is 'gaps in understanding' between the entrepreneurs, angel investors and venture capitalists. These gaps in understanding shouldn't be surprising considering the different backgrounds of each group.

Connecting users who don't speak a common language [a social web experiment]
https://github.com/richtr/Sina-Weibo-FTW-Opera-Extension
Today I'm launching a little social web experiment to connect people that don't share a common language through the medium of Weibo.com.

I recently visited China on a business trip and found that the Chinese people were exceptionally friendly and polite wherever I went. Yes, China has a despicable human rights record, and this is absolutely not an endorsement of the Chinese Government. This project is simply a bridge between individuals on which we can share the trials and tribulations we carry as individuals and as human beings.

I want to start some truly global conversations, tear down stereotypes and connect those who don't share a common language.

If we communicate then we will be united in our similarities not divided by our preconceptions.

What does "social" really mean?
http://project.arnolfini.org.uk/projects/2008/antisocial/notes.php
"Instead, the emphasis in these notes is to draw attention to how the production of non-antagonistic social relations has become central to economic production and social control. To take a typical target, the politics of Facebook, with its 59 million users, reveals how social exchanges are mediated by the wider culture and political economy. Personal information (ID and consumer preferences) is voluntarily submitted and can then be accessed by agencies reflecting pervasive viral marketing techniques, hegemonic corporate ownership and capitalistic economic principles – all designed to derive profit from friendship. Furthermore, the social relation is based on weak ties (as opposed to the relatively strong ties of peer production for instance) and an 'unstable social contract' between users and platform owners. That services are provided on the basis of latent profitability indicates the capitalist logic of producing value as cheaply as possible and making sure ownership is kept in the realm of private property. A closer look at terms of service agreements reveals more detail here and confirms that ownership is carefully managed. The contradiction is clear, as Michel Bauwens puts it: 'The social web facilitates an unprecedented level of social sharing, but it does so mostly through the vehicle of proprietary platforms.' In such ways, the social relation is produced in restrictive form." - March 2008

If we cannot stop climate change in time, how to mitigate the effects?
How can we adapt?

If we look at the current performance towards going towards a significant reduction of emissions and we assume that we will not accelerate the efforts, hence, the climate will change dramatically within the next decades.

What would we need to start doing on a governmental level in order to anticipate the consequences and mitigate them in the future?

I am thinking of consequences like droughts, climate migration, perhaps even famines and heat weaves.
