Jacob Cole Systematically helping people get their real needs met. Building graphs of ideas so that half-formed solutions to problems currently separated across different peoples heads can come together. I think strong AI and intelligent governance are the same problem, surfing, tai chi, databases of human intentions, gestalt psychology, literature. Qigong and how to teach it well.jacobcole4000@gmail.comjacobcole.net systematicawesome.jacobcole.netpersonally, I think the biggest thing that would impact the world is it everyone did qigong meditation 20 minutes a day and enjoyed it as much as I do (I appreciate that there are many paths to the top of this mountain) ideaflow.ioCULTURAL ENGINEERING 😀, Apps as behavior change tools!!
"Doug Engelbart’s career philosophy? Guiding philosophy Edit Engelbart's career was inspired in December 1950 when he was engaged to be married and realized he had no career goals other "than a steady job, getting married and living happily ever after".[14] Over several months he reasoned that: he would focus his career on making the world a better place[15] any serious effort to make the world better would require some kind of organized effort that harnessed the collective human intellect of all people to contribute to effective solutions. if you could dramatically improve how we do that, you'd be boosting every effort on the planet to solve important problems – the sooner the better computers could be the vehicle for dramatically improving this capability.[14] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Engelbart"Making lists of ideas/resources http://systematicawesome.jacobcole.net/Things You Didn’t Know Existed at MIT https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GnL0XczS1CWIWJPMsXNjTDd3e-WhF49rBAQEmc0lvuY/edit Admitsphere.jacobcole.netHave you ever had the feeling like you wish you could be bountiful enough to help everybody?

Nils GilmanVP of programs for the Berggruen Institute, an LA-based think tank that works on everything from China/US relations, to the philosophical implications of AI, to the future of capitalism (and especially the connections between these). My background is as an I'm an intellectual historian, but I've worked in everything from enterprise software product to consulting on counterinsurgency, cybersecurity, and illicit commerce.nilsgilman@gmail.comNot coming tonight but want to be on the list for future dinnersI'm interested above all in governance issues, to which I bring two sometimes contradictory but also mutually generative priors: I believe institutions are key to human happiness and social stability, but I also have a bias against incumbents, be they in business, housing, or social status.The way I think is by writing. My kid asked me a couple of years ago what genre I write in. I told her, accurately, "dystopian nonfiction."

Mike XieSystematically helping people with value add introductions.Writing on Quora, literature, rhetoric, history, warfare, politics, economics, ethics, market design, sociology, mathematics, ethics, anthropology, angel investing, startup advising, mentoring, information asymmetry, video game design. yuhuanxie@gmail.comquora.com/Mike-Xie-2I grew up a lonely child prodigy with an eidetic memory so making good introductions and helping other people make friends is one of my favorite things to do. I care a lot about accessibility and information asymmetry and try to help people find opportunities to use their talents/be happy doing so. I run a side project called Black Swan Orphanage to this effect.
