Share some things we've gained from Evoke

I'd like to take an opportunity to reflect on our time here on Evoke. Let's share some of the Epic wins and great connections during Season 1.


I had my first epic win when I realized I was speaking to the creator of the site, Jane McGonigal.


The second thing that happened to me while on Evoke was a complete perspective change on the world! Learning about everything going on in the world...problems which seemed unthinkable to me such as lack of…

Evoke Manifesto

What are the goals of the network? How does it work?
Evoke creates an environment which promotes collaboration and research on important and often untaught problems. This is done through Missions presented by Evoke to agents. The addition of Achievements and Rune stones, as well as the Leader Cloud add to the motivation to both learn and contribute, as well as help others with their missions. This collaboration often creates sparks far outside the initial goals set forth by the…

What I define as Risk

I'm not an expert on crisis management or epidemics, but I feel like I think logically and do have experience measuring risk in my own field. In this article, the speaker describes risk as hazard + outrage. While I understand the point he's trying to make about public perception being equally important as the hazard, I found his conclusions quite… Continue

My friend's experience with super inflation in the Ukraine

Working in the Financial Services industry, money is of particular interest to me. Not just making money, but understanding what it is, how it works, and what I can do with that knowledge. As many people are aware or are discovering thanks to this mission, money is just a piece of paper unless someone values it to be worth something. I'm going to speak about super inflation, and use my friend as an example because I think it helps illustrate the last point I made....money is just… Continue

Nicholas related to virality and social networks

In this video I find interesting that
Social Networks follow Metcalfe´s Law
but Social Mobile Networks follow Reed´s law.

I think Gaurav Misrha is up to something. Cellphones are more accessible than computers to more people. Just thinking out loud here with you.

To: European Commission

AUDIT THE ECB AND NATIONAL PARTNERS!

We ask for the auditing of the European Central Bank, following similar initiatives occurring in the US, like the proposal of the acts HR1207 and S604. The so-called Public Debt is incurred because the European states surrendered the sovereign right to issue their own money to private corporations that lend it at interest. So instead of paying for the paper and ink costs of banknotes we have to raise taxes to fulfill the megalomaniac and sociopathic ego of private bankers.
Restore monetary sovereignty and give back the monetary rent (at least the 7% of the GDP) to the nations! China is doing exactly like that and this is why they will EVER outperform us! Protect the destiny of our children. Stop the crazy money-machine NOW!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
