  Absolutely, so many people, so many stories. It’s beyond challenging to fit a grand narrative into 1,500 words or less, and then pass it through professional editors. As I wrote I thought you myself, “this could be a feature length book in itself.” Some of the story is clearly not the full story, but I stand behind the overarching narrative.

  on: Start­ing the Jour­ney as CEO of the Roots of Progress

  Hey Heike, welcome to the community. I’ve taken you up on the opportunity to reach out, and I’ve dashed you an email this afternoon, your time. You’re embarking on an important and much-needed scope of work, helping shape the future zeitgeist of humanity. One of the existential risks that are little spoken of, is a global culture that’s willing to throw in the towel on civilization, to turn its back on progress, and embrace a return to the dark ages of deglobalization, and anti-solutionism.

  There are many roadblocks to solving the great challenges of civilization, and to continue to drive progress forward, however, none of these challenges can be addressed if we don’t believe that they are surmountable in the first place. Today the average global citizen is living in an age with the highest average global living standards, and yet progress forward isn’t progress completed. Building a better future requires, first believing it’s possible, and then making it happen. The world can be a much better place, and it’s our job to do something about it.

  Welcome again, I look forward to following your work.
