What I’m doing with my life
Fuller always said that the world was only at war because we
have limited resources and humans have to keep fighting each
other for them. So, he spent his life finding ways to make
abundance and solve the world's problems. Fuller's not alive
anymore but I think his ideas were sound.
Today, after some extensive research into the Nano Industry,
I realize there is so much potential to solve the world's problems.
Think of a future where water and energy are as abundant as the
sun and the sky. Imagine not having to pay for anything because
it's simply too cheap to make everything.
It would be a world post Nano-Industrial Revolution.
It's a world I would like to live in.
It's a world I spend my life span trying to bring about.
And I'm doing it by starting some organizations
and working on technologies that empower people.
I'll agree with you that current research looks like exploding Tetris
but trust me. It's on to something much more reality altering.
There’s a saying that goes along the lines of, “We embrace change when the pain of the present is greater than the pain of change.”
It will be this that really makes us change our ways.
The pain I expect we’ll feel, will be the cost of electricity and it is this that will push people to get solar panels and windmills for example. (alternate energy)
We’ve seen this pain of the present being greater than the pain of change, to a degree with a higher percentage of smaller capacity engines in cars these days compared to say the 50’s and 60’s due to the rising cost of petrol.
Are you able to ensure people feel enough pain in their present circumstances to find a change. Are you that powerful?
