Welcome to 2006 where your ideas and even your DNA are own3d by someone else…歡迎至2006年的情況下您的想法，甚至你的DNA是own3d由別人…

Now is a truly amazing time to be alive for the curious and adventurous - opportunities to do what you enjoy for a living have never been better.現在是一個真正的令人驚嘆的時光，要活著，為好奇和冒險-機會做你喜歡為生活而從來沒有更好的。 The information available on obscure interests is amazing.現有的資料對模糊的利益，是了不起的。 There is lots to be optimistic about as the future will continue to bring new possibilities.有很多是持樂觀態度，作為未來將繼續帶來新的可能性。 And yet it seems that the inertia of the majority of the population, at least in North America, has been heading in the opposite direction for some time, cruising along on the achievements of previous generations while simultaneous taking advantage of the economies of scale afforded by the continuing advancements produced by a small minority.然而，似乎是慣性，人口的大多數，至少在北美，已在標題相反的方向了一段時間，巡航沿上的成就，前幾代，而同時利用規模經濟所提供的持續的進步所產生的少數人。

Culturally out of favour are education, particularly math, anything perceived as complicated and inaccessible.文化走出贊成，是教育，特別是數學，什麼都被視為複雜和難以進入的。 In favour is the continued pursuit of material wealth, indiscriminate politically driven praise in both the corporate and parenting worlds coupled with an “egalitarian” rather than competetive worldview where you don’t have to work hard for fulfillment.在贊成，是繼續追求物質財富，不分青紅皂白地政治驅動的讚美在這兩個公司和養育子女的世界，再加上一個“有教無類” ，而不是競爭的世界觀那裡你不用努力工作，為圓滿。 Drugs are prescribed indiscriminately to treat the perpetual anxiety of not being happy - a state probably brought on by the general lack of real achievement.毒品問題是明不分青紅皂白地治療永久的焦慮，不快樂-一個國家可能帶來的由一般缺乏真正的成就。 Personal responsibility is at an all time low and feel-good, quick-fix books are as numerous as anti-depressants.個人的責任是在一所有時間低和感覺良好，快速修補的圖書是一樣多抗憂鬱症。

And now from society over to business: It seems that the last few decades of business have seen a trend of ownership with reduced personal responsibility.現在由社會來經營範圍：看來，過去幾十年的業務所看到的一種趨勢，所有權與減少個人責任。 Corporations “externalize” as much risk as possible to the lowest bidder without proper regard to the consequences.公司的“外部化”的風險，盡可能向價低者得沒有適當考慮到後果。 Society seems to be more addicted than ever to the quick fix while avoiding difficult, critical thinking.社會似乎比較上癮比以往任何時候都快速修復，同時避免困難的，批判性思維。 Lawyers seem to have convinced us to be irrationally afraid of any risk and therefore have managed to profitably and irreversibly insert themselves as middlemen in almost everything.律師似乎都確信，我們必須理性地不怕任何風險，因此已設法有利可圖的和不可逆轉地插入自己作為中間人，在幾乎所有的。 Somehow along the way established big businesses have started convincing the public that obvious ideas, or even human genes and molecules that have evolved in nature are (absurdly) not public domain but in fact licenceable “intellectual property.” See this excellent在某種程度上在前進的道路上設立了大企業已開始有說服力的市民明顯的想法，甚至是人類基因組和分子進化的性質是（荒謬）沒有公共領域，但事實上licenceable “知識產權” 。看到這個出色的 brief review of the topic at the Register簡要回顧了這個專題的登記冊 . 。 Gone are the days where it matters to the patent office that you have a truly groundbreaking concept which is actually implementable.日子已經一去不復返，而事項向專利局認為你有一個真正的具有突破性的概念，它實際上是可執行的。 Today’s intellectual property goes to those with deep pockets and audacity to claim the incredibly obvious.今天的智慧財產權，去那些深的口袋，和Audacity要求難以置信的顯而易見的。

So the questions for 2006:因此，問題的2006年：

• How do we make competetive education a priority and improve the general public’s aptitude to think creatively, constructively and critically?我們如何競爭，使教育的一個優先事項和改善廣大市民的性向，以創造性的思考，建設性的和批判呢？
• How do we increase the will to take personal responsibility and improve our work ethics?我們如何增加將承擔個人責任，並改進我們的工作倫理？
• How do we incent businesses to manage themselves sustainably assuming responsibility for the total costs and risks of any venture?我們如何incent企業管理本身的可持續承擔的總成本和風險的任何風險呢？
• How do we retake ownership of our ideas?我們如何奪回所有權我們的想法呢？

I plan to drill down into more detail on a few of these topics.我計劃，以深入到更詳細的就數這些主題。
