Pop!Tech PopTech speaker, eating designer Marije Vogelzang is in NY this week for a "Pasta Sauna" installation this Wed-Fri: http://bit.ly/3k1Cao

According to Marinetti, pasta was the worst food to eat, because it made humans slow, dull, and fat–so in this installation, the steam created from boiling pasta will form a sauna, giving audience members the chance to be as lazy and un-energetic as they want.

Barry Deck Wouldn't it be wonderful if the PopTech community this global network of thinkers and doers, could identify and support a physical community in which to create visible transformation?

For three days, we heard remarkable, inspiring success stories from different disciplines and locations around the world. What would happen if the learnings from PopTech speakers, fellows, and members could be deployed in one place? Would a local concentration of innovations in education, healthcare, urban agriculture, public policy, micro-factories, net-zero architecture, local currencies, etc. produce a positive feedback loop of innovation? Could a place like that become a laboratory for healing? An example for communities around the world?

Might it lead to the creation of a toolkit for transformation? A university of healing?

I was impassioned by John Fetterman's work in Braddock, Pennsylvania. I loved hearing him say "Braddock is not a poor town. It's an experiment." He knows that for a person, a system, or an organization to change, it has to have a near-death experience. Humanity is having one right now, but many don't quite realize the extent of it. Braddock's near-death experience makes it a zone of extreme opportunity.... Read More

I was moved to tears when Dennis Littky announced his intention to put a school in Braddock. We were watching a healing process in real-time. That's what PopTech is for, and I want to see more.

How many innovations could we implement in Braddock, or somewhere like that? Flint? Detroit? Cleveland? Change on that scale will not happen in Greenwich or Malibu anytime soon. (No offense if you live there. They're lovely places filled with super-smart people.)

I would like to know how many people like this idea. Who could support, contribute, or lead such an initiative? I guess I'm just saying let's make some more headlines. It's why we showed up in the first place, and I wish I remembered who said that the earth doesn't care, that it's us that need fixing. That's the truth. There's so much to do, and nothing in the whole world should be more important to us.
