| - | 1. The list with the 21 "actionable themes" of the WSF shows a rough
| + | |
| - | resemblance with the list of Ministries of a modern state. It is not a
| + | |
| - | classification of knowledge. Rather, it is the taxonomy of things that a | + | |
| - | contemporary Government should be concerned with. Note that no Government
| + | |
| - | can ever be perfect. Neither can this kind of classification by subject be
| + | |
| - | perfect.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 2. I am prepared to accept any order of the 21 actionable themes. Thus
| + | |
| - | it would be OK with me if Water came last, and Children first. Or, Labour
| + | |
| - | could be number 2. and Education number 1. A mathematically educated
| + | |
| - | friend pointed out to me, that 20 themes can be ordered in great many
| + | |
| - | ways. There are, to be exact:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 20! = 2 432 902 008 176 640 000 different possibilities...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | That is far more than all people on earth. Another order is always
| + | |
| - | possible!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 3. The two main advantages of the 21 actionable themes: a) This
| + | |
| - | classification -- or at least the version that we are working on -- is
| + | |
| - | sanctioned by the International Council of the World Social Forum; b) the
| + | |
| - | list is short enough to permit a rapid overview of the whole, yet it is
| + | |
| - | fairly comprehensive.
