from rahamfazal.com Three AHA Moments I’ll never forget

This week, I spoke at the capstone event for Startup Canada in Vancouver, which was a cross-country tour helping local startups get ready for the major leagues. The organizers did it big — 400 people at the new Waterfront Convention Center built for the 2010 Olympics.
They also did things a little differently; rather than have people come up and pitch their companies, 20 founders were chosen to share personal stories about the time in their life when they *knew* they were going to be an entrepreneur (including one person I’d mentored at Startup Weekend Alexandria last year who’s now raised money and moved to Canada). My most favorite came from a guy who shared his painful journey battling a life-crippling addiction to… pay-checks.

WHAT FUTURE ARE YOU & YOURS WORKING ON? TEACHFORSDGS.COM SUMMITFUTURE>COM

For nearly 5 decades dad norman macrae posed this question annually at The Economist. Surviving being a teenage navigator allied bomber command's burma campaign was one motivation for valuing youth's futures; many diary years added an extra challenge - the year dad met von eumann and became his biographer; the year 1955 dad was only journalist at Messina's birthing of the EU; 1962 the year President Kenedy seconded father's survey that the far east staring with Japan was designing 2 Asia Rising models that more than half og humans could grow around as they started using engines that the 9 big white colonial empires had all but excluded Asians from. Of course questioning what is goin on in the world doesnt have one standard answer: in fact if neumann's artificial intel are to start operating real times systems from critical info flowing from every gps on a planet they will in some way need data that is deep enough to include all 8 billion beings alive in 2002s. That denoument was likely to come in 2020s because neumann started a time line of 100 time more tech every decade from 1955 conformed by alumni of gordon moore's ;law 1965 (sooon a whole region branding itself silocon valley) as well as kennedy's firts setting of a decade inspiring goal - landong on moon? Sinmce 1984's publication of 2025report pulling togethers 140 yeras of teh economist's attempts to mediate poverty's end we have my faily's informal updates of where we are tipping to extinction at 2025report.com and the last edition in publication; we also have a not yet balanced attempt to keep up with the UN's mediation of 2030-2020

Apart from 3 years working on UK national development project for computer based learning
my professional live ha been applied to markets and whether hundreds of markets my clients researched were aligned with the most sustainable purpose that workers and customers of that market could value (exponentially over time not in 90 day pieces)
I have inherited from my father Norman Macrae at The Economist 1947-1990 the concern
that human sustainability (or exticnction) will be expoentually locked in by 2030
These are the most exciting times to be alive as primarily 3 generations choose whether to invest in worldwide youth as first sustainability generation

Of many substages of my fathers variant of Moores law which mediated with Economist readers
the idea that doubling communications tech every 7 years 2030 versus 1946 = over 4000 times moore coms tech

Curently i recommend looking at whether G5 is designed to sustain humanity
Cirtical is use of Big Data- Big versus Small purpose
and regulatuyons that different regions bring (Anti-Trust, privacy) etc. Although these regulations may be well intedned they often cost small enterprises out of the ,arekt.
I suggest poeopels where g5 regulators may mlost free the people are
China
India

perhaps the UN if it sees offerening a jurisduction which countrues could opt into for this part of their legsislatur
at risk ro regulantion destroing G5 as one of last chanecs to get back to sustainability are
USA -ever since 1984 every globalisation made by us gov has favored big and no-sustaonab;e
EU - while I admkire the EU regulatior now in charge, the whole EU as Pope Francis has clarifued is designed around needs of elderly and every bodre nation spojsoring tghe germa euro; I have direct expertince of 20 yeras of legacyu systems -g ending research of intangibles, destroyiong suoercity debates on tghe eu kowledgeboard becasue luxemblourg backed IT that replaced human beings..

Leonis -why shouldn't a supercity be a region where 25 million family members thrive within an hours supetrain from each other ; related ideas : island superports -these were the key dynamkicf in developing the eastern hemisphere during second half of 20th C; obviously a port's size depends on its inhabitable area; note micronations often offer the best natural education systems; the leonsis supercity goal requires a lot more give back by the city

impact of hubs can be exponentially valued for multiplying goodwill and interpersonal networks around a combination of above zero-sum capacities that build real communities and empower people to take advantage of million times more collaboration technology around . These include:

5 structuring access to capital for regenerating community and attracting job creating entrepreneurs

4 break down silos or degrees of separation to share life-shaping knowledge, open source or replicate community-owned franchises

3 access to community market or bottom-up intervention in value chain

2 mediating cross-cultural reconciliation or conflict resolution so that peace, families and natural sustainability can thrive

1 celebrating pro-youth economics by leveraging gamechanging opportunities of 2010s as worldwide youth's most productive time - eg mobilising pro-youth incubation/acceleration/contextual enriching of start-ups and small/medium enterprises

example: during the first 40 years of the nation of bangladesh , our net generation can map the greatest hubs structures of bottom-up networking: designed first as real community spaces in the poorest villages and from 1996 increasingly by overlaying virtual interventions to value chains so as to co-produce the most heroic and value multiplying millennium goal
