day 1
intro saul: we don’t need to tweak systems (health, ed).. need to transform them..
maybe need to disengage from them
too many in this world are settling for tweaks.. we’re modeling behavior that will enable transformation
update/thinking: [i think all our part\ial initiatives/efforts are keeping us from the sync we need for global freedom/equity .. i think we keep getting distracted/disjointed by irrelevants (money/measuring/et-al) necessary to maintain/incentivize the partial ness.. and if i’m wrong.. thankfully.. there are plenty of amazing people/initiatives/efforts going that route]
day 1
session 1:
rita j king @RitaJKing
i’m here to advocate for taking a breath.. we need to slow down.. for the sake of thinking.. using our imaginations…
at science house.. working at the intersection of humanity and tech.. an strange intersection to be at at this point in human history..t
mufleh humanity law: we have seen advances in every aspect of our lives except our humanity – Luma Mufleh
tech as it could be..
on expecting to leap from industrial to intelligence era.. but it requires a lot of training..t
perhaps intelligence isn’t our (humanity’s) thing/focus.. let’s leap to curiosity (and/or imagination) where there’s no need for training/prep.. et al
in intelligence era it’s not so easy to understand things we’re creating.. ie: data, insights from data, algos, machine learning, ai, i prefer applied imagination..t
i’m thinking augmenting interconnectedness..
perhaps we go w self-talk as data
i invented transition from industrial to intelligence era.. i call it the imagination age
try to assess and re prioritize.. requires huge amt of energy.. and our brains are kind of lazy.. they want to save energy.. so have to work extra hard to thrive in this period.. we have to work harder.. but can’t work faster.. the only option we have not is to get smarter.. and we can only do that together.. we need to learn to collab differently..t
what we need most is the energy of 7bn alive people.. that comes from curiosity (imagination)
main skill in imagination age is applied imagination.. 2 extremes – fantasizers to followers.. inbetween we have a slider.. and that slider is imagination.. how do you come up w ideas.. how do you know if you’re coming up w right questions..
how do you know what to focus on.. i find myself focusing more on architecture.. software architects are really helping me understand architecture.. (seeing invisible foundations)
architecture has to do w everything we do
architecture of meetings.. we put politics before purpose
or maybe we disengage from meetings.. and/or.. see purpose as meeting up about daily curiosity
come at it from the most elegant angle.. (soul cello).. to free the sound.. as we collab w our own creations.. we could approach it in a robotic way.. but other times we ourselves become omni directional machines.. body becomes series of springs..

hooked on all things bio since i was a kid
cell bio (bacteria, human cells).. printers that 3d printers aspire to be
cells are carbon based computers and printers.. that’s really all you need to know about biology
a genome is basically the cellular operating system.. instruction set for running a cell
human genome project launched in 1990
the big change: the world of bio has been digitizing
vint cerf and craig venter (first person sequenced) meeting.. was merging of bio and tech
bio chip can read dna.. as molecules go thru pores.. can buy them today
now sequencing is a self sustaining econ reaction – money put in meets value output
2nd gen market place for dna.. not top down.. don’t keep your data.. you own it.. built on blockchain
you are your genome.. don’t get to change that.. but i expect in 20 yrs.. digital version of you sophisticated enough to do drug testing
?
we’ll be able to sequence everything.. animal..microbe.. all this sequenced data opens up library of life and gives us the knowledge to start programming..
new project.. not reading .. but writing the human genome.. a bottom up genome project from congress .. 100s of mns of dollars put into this lab.. if you’re interested at all in programming bio.. connect w this group.. i expect we’ll be able to write human scale genomes in 10 yrs.. for very low cost

i’m a virus geek.. viruses are usb sticks for cells

saul said to us – this is not about you.. so i’m going to make this about (all of) you
when did you first have that feeling outside family that you found your tribe.. that you belong
why was it that that gave you that feeling of belonging.. for me.. it was that it was my tribe (art class) – artists start w nothing and create something
people who care about each other – and take care of each other.. but don’t tell each other what to do.. have an agreement.. to steal from each other.. anything was collectively owned
something beautiful that doesn’t require anyone to do what they don’t want to do.. no one having to order anyone around..t
gershenfeld something else law
how do you find your tribe.. t
7bn could be doing it everyday.. today .. via 2 convers as infra
ie: tech as it could be..
that’s the kind of magic i want to see in the world.. you find your mentor
you can’t start building your tribe/network the day you need it
h&g is what we’ve always done – somewhere we got this idea that we need to create jobs for people
h g ness
work – as for other people
new tribe – school of possible – possibiltarian tribe – people helping people
make up of human body similar to sea water – so w school.. doesn’t need a building.. 1\ have to believe anything is possible 2\ have to test your ideas.. those membranes area enough to keep out all the negativity/toxicity
saul has agreed to be on the advisory board

i thought the best thing to do was build the best orphanage..
but i didn’t know about attachment – building foundations in their brains.. that whatever happens .. you’ve got their back
we needed to set up a transitional center to prove we could shut it down
80% of children in orphanages have families.. they’re not orphans.. families are giving them up so they have better lives..
we found the families of these children
we need to repurpose orphanages.. to a service that can support children in families
we need to re imagine
help by not volunteering/supporting.. that creates more orphanages
help by listening to children.. they don’t want shiny buildings.. what they want is love and belonging
