Hi M,
What are your thoughts about Brexit, M?I'm trying to get clearer in my mind what dictatorship Gerd (a friend and a smart synthetic biologist Ph.D. based in Berlin - he's in the 2nd video down here - http://scottmacleod.com/
"EU- und Russland-Politik: Schäuble knöpft sich Steinmeier vor
"Es ist genau das geschehen, was viele befürchtet haben": Finanzminister Schäuble kritisiert in ungewohnt scharfer Form seinen Kabinettskollegen Steinmeier. Es geht um den Brexit - und um Russland."

The last sentence here translates as "It's about Brexit - and about Russia."
In the EU disarray brought on by Brexit, is there a EU democracy opportunity the Brits would engage, and which would benefit the UK economically - and nationhood or identity-wise? (Re my big project, how about a free CC MIT OCW-centric major university (a Harvard/Stanford/ MIT) in each countries' main language that might in part help focus these democratic EU questions further?)
Finished indexing my ~550 page Harbin book a few days ago, I'm glad to say - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html. Now I'm going - bleh- through the index again for further accuracy and excellence. After page 300, quite a number of entries are 2 pages off ... blah ... and many entries have 50 or more page numbers ...

What is the EU?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union
From this article:
"Despite calls for an exit from the Union immediately,[50] it is unclear if and when this will happen. The implications of the referendum vote remain unknown, with politicians and commentators suggesting various outcomes.[51][52]"

Definition of society:
1 the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community: drugs, crime, and other dangers to society.
• the community of people living in a particular country or region and having shared customs, laws, and organizations: the high incidence of violence in American society | modern industrial societies. (Apple dictionary)

Is there a parallel here ...
From society to network society (re Castells) ... like ...
From culture to counterculture {as in freedom-seeking movements of the 1960s/70s} ... (and re information technologies and the internet too)?

I'm curious further about the EU "dictatorship" Gerd was referring too and, further, re
