”I’ve like to leave you with two thoughts there’s been a change in aid from top-down megaprojects to bottom-up grassroots, micro-finance investing in the roots so that everybody’s got that thats what works but we still look at it now just top-down megaprojects computing, communication, energy for the rest of the plant, we still are these top-down megaprojects, if this room full of heroes is just clever enough you can solve the problems the message coming from the fab labs is that, the other 5 billion people on the planet aren’t just technical sinks their sources, the real opportunities to harness the inventive power of the world to locally designed and produced solutions to local problems, that’s where we are today, it breaks every organizational boundary we can think of the hardest thing at this point it is social engineering and the organizational engineering but it’s here.”

“ imagine something as elegant as a tree, imagine this design assignment, design something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, increases our energy in fuel, makes complex sugars and food, creates microclimates, changes colors with the seasons, and self replicates…” “why don’t we knock that down and write on it” lol another great video thanks for post
This guy is awesome, Diego. These ideas should def be incorporated into the Venus Project! Who’d a thunk putting the land on the roof?? Genius. Imagine people like this working with Jacques Fresco!!
