• Great to hear your discussion with Peter Day on the World Service. Fantastic way to spead the word of innovation

• Hi Charles, I am really interested in your book and I will probably read it in a near future.
  And I am also interested in knowing more about how were the drafts and the readers comments. Are these comments online? Were they published previously in this same page?
  Thanks and congratulations for the book (and for the video)!
  Regards from Brazil.

• Hi Charlie,
  I am currently reading your book which I plan to refer to in my talk at the Science Museum on 22 April. It is a talk which I will be giving simultaneously at the Science Museum Dana Centre and in Second Life along with Howard Rheingold. In my short talk, I am going to be suggesting how the virtual worlds of Second Life can be used the revitalise the world economy by using a different legal system in the virtual world based partly upon your We-Think concepts. Over the course of the evening we are going to be considering the social and mental impacts of Virtual Worlds and their legal regulation.
  
  Let me know if you can come along and I will share with you my proposals. For all other readers of this page please note that the talk is a public event so everyone is welcome - the Dana Centre should have an audience of 80 but the number of people via Second Life is far larger.

• I'm halfway into chapter three and just wanted to say I'm really enjoying it. I like finding out that stuff is not as new as it sounds. There's something very comforting in the continuity between past and present. I'll definitely be buying your book. Thanks.

• Hi Charlie,
  
  I attended your book launch and wished there had been more time for questions. I'll ask you mine here instead:
  
  I wondered whether you'd comment on the possible influence of monotheism in Western intellectual culture. The Old Testament contains lots of "thou shall worship no God but me", and relatively little "thou shall worship no God but me, Frank and the green one with horns". Authority rests with a single deity. Jesus was the son of God - a singular voice, whereas the lessons of several sons of God might have provoked argument, debate... ambiguity.
  
  Do you think that the decline of organised religions in the Western world correlates with a new enthusiasm for collaboration, idea-sharing - a flattening of hierarchies and shrugging-off of Authority?
  
  I'd be interested to know your thoughts on this (obviously, or I wouldn't be posting). Thanks!

• I developed We Think in part by releasing a the first draft online for people to make comments. I got a lot of support and some very helpful comments. As I develop my thinking around We Think and other projects I am keen to draw on the ideas and suggestions of others. So please leave a comment below. It could be anything: a linked idea; a project I may well have missed; a book that should be read. Of course praise is very pleasing but criticism is even more powerful: so if you think there is stuff that is wrong or missing please point that out.
