	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Standing On The Shoulders of Giants
		It was Sir Isaac Newton who first said, "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." - a lot of his works were created by assessing the theories of his predecessors (and even writing them over to understand them) and testing them, experimenting with them.
		But when he 'remixed' everything, he added his own works and experimentation, and unquestionably became one of the giants on whose shoulders the entire world has stood for quite some time.
		We can all be the shoulders of these giants for future generations.
