THINKING

Focus only on the most important things

I’m concentrating my mind on building pillars of experience which I hope will become the foundation for a better future. These five categories are at the intersection of need, both human and planetary and financial viability. This intersection creates the best conditions for success.

GOVERNANCE – current systems of Government are failing us, The constitution was a valuable document but it's 233 years old, if it were written today it would be a tool that would constantly evolve and learn. How can we enable governance for the people by the people? – GLASS

SOCIETY – The existing structures of power create division. Our social networks never had society as a business model and they are creating further polarization. A people divided against itself, cannot stand. – INDEX

NATURE – The W.H.O. predict by 2025 1.8 Billion people, 22% of the Global Population will be living in countries with absolute water scarcity while the population is predicted to quintuple in the next 100 years. We're moving beyond sustainable thinking to how we cope with nature that no longer supports life. – CREO

SECURITY – When security becomes disconnected from community it is fueled by fear not intelligence. When security and community are deeply connected, understanding and common values are the things we protect. – OUTLAND GROUP

HEALTH – 1.3 billion people living in extreme poverty, 1 billion people beyond the access of all season roads. With the increase in personalized medicine we have no infrastructure to support the rise in on-demand diagnosis and testing – MATTERNET
