Your understanding is your only reality
Have you thought of a clever product to mitigate climate change? Did you invent an ingenious gadget to light African villages at night? Have you come up with a new kind of school, or new ideas for lowering the rate of urban shootings? Thanks, but we have lots of those. Whatever problem possesses you, we already have plenty of ways to solve it. Many have been rigorously tested and have a lot of evidence behind them — and yet they’re sitting on a shelf. So don’t invent something new. If you want to make a contribution, choose one of those ideas — and spread it.
Procida is the less touristy island in the Gulf of Naples. The colorful houses easily identifiable by the returning fishermen. An island primarily living of agriculture and fishing. Peaceful and discoverable in one afternoon on a motorbike. Delicious seafood - beautiful panoramas - tiny streets and the sea all around. A gem just half an hour away from the chaotic city of Naples. Recommendations. Accommodation: la casa sul mare 4* bnb with only 10 sea-view rooms for €90-150 Restaurants: La Lampara in Coricilla Bay Da Crescenzo in chiailella bay Vivaro at the beach beautiful for dinner at sundown - in chiailella bay To do: rent a motorbike and discover the whole island touring around the one-way streets.
Predicting the Next 10 Years
Last week, I talked about the exponential change that’s occurred over the last 10 years.
This week, I want to explore what the world will look like in the next 10 years.

The World in 2025
In 2025, in accordance with Moore’s Law, we will see an acceleration in the rate of change as we move closer to a world of true abundance.
Here are eight areas where we’ll see extraordinary transformation in the next decade:
A $1,000 Human Brain: In 2025, $1000 should buy you a computer able to calculate at 10^16 cycles per second (10,000 trillion cycles per second), the equivalent processing speed of the human brain.
A Trillion-Sensor Economy: The Internet of Everything describes the networked connections between devices, people, processes and data. By 2025, the IoE will exceed 100 billion connected devices, each with a dozen or more sensors collecting data. This will lead to a trillion-sensor economy driving a data revolution beyond our imagination. Cisco’s recent report estimates the IoE will generate $19 trillion of newly created value.
Perfect Knowledge: We’re heading towards a world of perfect knowledge. With a trillion sensors gathering data everywhere (autonomous cars, satellite systems, drones, wearables, cameras), you’ll be able to know anything you want, anytime, anywhere, and query that data for answers and insights.
8 Billion Hyper-Connected People: Facebook (Internet.org), SpaceX, Google (Project Loon), Qualcomm & Virgin (OneWeb) are planning to provide global connectivity to every human on Earth at speeds exceeding 1 Megabit per second. We will grow from three to eight billion connected humans, adding five billion new consumers into the global economy. They represent tens of trillions of new dollars flowing into the global economy. And they are not coming online like we did 20 years ago with a 9600 modem on AOL. They’re coming online with a 1 Mbps connection and access to the world’s information on Google, cloud 3D printing, Amazon Web Services, artificial intelligence with Watson, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, and more.
Disruption of Healthcare: Existing healthcare institutions will be crushed as new business models with better and more efficient care emerge. Thousands of startups, as well as today’s data giants (Google, Apple, Microsoft, SAP, IBM, etc.) will all enter this lucrative $3.8 trillion healthcare industry with new business models that dematerialize, demonetize and democratize today’s bureaucratic and inefficient system. Biometric sensing (wearables) and AI will make each of us the CEOs of our own health. Large-scale genomic sequencing and machine learning will allow us to understand the root cause of cancer, heart disease and neurodegenerative disease and what to do about it. Robotic surgeons can carry out an autonomous surgical procedure perfectly (every time) for pennies on the dollar. Each of us will be able to regrow a heart, liver, lung or kidney when we need it, instead of waiting for the donor to die.
Augmented & Virtual Reality: Billions of dollars invested by Facebook (Oculus), Google (Magic Leap), Microsoft (Hololens), Sony, Qualcomm, HTC and others will lead to a new generation of displays and user interfaces. The screen as we know it – on your phone, your computer and your TV – will disappear and be replaced by eyewear. Not the geeky Google Glass, but stylish equivalents to what the well-dressed fashionistas are wearing today. The result will be a massive disruption in a number of industries ranging from consumer retail, to real estate, education, travel, entertainment, and the fundamental ways we operate as humans.
Early Days of JARVIS: Artificial intelligence research will make strides in the next decade. If you think Siri is useful now, the next decade’s generation of Siri will be much more like JARVIS from Iron Man, with expanded capabilities to understand and answer. Companies like IBM Watson, DeepMind and Vicarious continue to hunker down and develop next-generation AI systems. In a decade, it will be normal for you to give your AI access to listen to all of your conversations, read your emails and scan your biometric data because the upside and convenience will be so immense.
Blockchain: If you haven’t heard of the blockchain, I highly recommend you read up on it. You might have heard of bitcoin, which is the decentralized (global), democratized, highly secure cryptocurrency based on the blockchain. But the real innovation is the blockchain itself, a protocol that allows for secure, direct (without a middleman), digital transfers of value and assets (think money, contracts, stocks, IP). Investors like Marc Andreesen have poured tens of millions into the development and believe this is as important of an opportunity as the creation of the Internet itself.
Bottom Line: We Live in the Most Exciting Time Ever

The Fire Of Life
the fire of life inside of me at times flames it’s my imperative my fire, to nurture it a fire to take over a whole forest that strong attempted to tame – it will continue to spread to grow that fire inside is my imperative strong enough so it can spread the fire of love
Yesterday, at work, when suggesting the implementation of an app that gives you immediate information about the product you hold or eat in store, I was told I think too much in technology terms - but I can't help it, I am nuts about technology and here's why.
Ray Kurzweil Speaking at Geek Park Innovation Conference, Beijing, China. 18 January 2015 at minute 17:40:
"My vision/calculation is that by 2029 we will have enough information about the brain that computers will be powerful enough that we can achieve human levels of intelligence where computers are indistinguishable from humans in terms of human levels of intelligence. In the 2030s we will merge with these computers - we will have nabobts, which will be augmented immune system (explained before) and will also go into the brain and put our brain on the cloud."
The vision of merging with computers and living in an era of exponential human growth/evolution leading us to experience new and (unimaginable) higher human levels is thrilling me!

Xmas: conscious shopping inspiration Oaties Fluffy :D already the name got me (girls, you know why:) Oaties Fluffy are the first biodegradable baby shoes that grow up as a tree. When they grow out of them, you can plant the shoes together with seeds to plant your baby’s tree of life right from their shoes! What a beautiful Christmas gift to newly parents or your toddler friend that does help reconcile the fashion industry with nature. Ps. Oat shoes are also for adults, teenager and the assortissement holds even bags. Go shop here http://www.oatshoes.com/about/
An inside-out role model, Lauren Singer talking about how she changed and aligned her values truly: "This process took more than a year and required a lot of effort. The most difficult part was taking a hard look at myself, the environmental studies major, the shining beacon of sustainability, and realizing that I didn't live in a way that aligned with my values."
What happens when imagination and bold thinking meet passion and curiosity… and then get injected with cutting-edge technologies like robotics, artificial intelligence and synthetic biology?
Galaxies shake.
On Nov. 19-20, TFF had the opportunity to join the Singularity University Summit in...
Designing For Generosity - COMPASSION CAPITAL
inspiring TEDxBerkeley talk about the power of inner transformation and generosity.
Ever hear of COMPASSION CAPITAL - doubling down by adding value!! (say whaa - love it)
The gift economy comprise 4 shifts:
1. consumption -> contribution
2. transaction -> trust
3. isolation -> community
4. scarcity -> abundance (enough)
Listen for yourself.
Love.
My wellness warrior Laura van de Vorst wrote a beautiful review of healthy and tasty places to eat in Rome. So if you are planning a visit, follow her mindful food guide here .
Leaving all the secondary scrupulous thoughts beside, I honestly love the work she does - it actually reminds me of one afternoon during my studies, when I managed to convince one of my most dreamy and creative friend, Elena, a Brazilian beauty, to do, what I called a 'Jackson Pollock' afternoon: we sticked pins from below the canvas, filled balloons with paint and little paper figures and threw them onto the canvas. You can't believe how much fun that was :) try it for yourself - just one note: make sure to cover walls and your whole room with paper..
The ironic and to the point socio-cultural analysis of so-called 'post-feminist' trend among female pop stars.

We have lost more than 50% of our vertebrate in just two generations
The latest Living Planet Report – just out a week ago, found that, in less than two generations, we have lost more than 50% of our vertebrates. "These are the living forms that constitute the fabric of the ecosystems which sustain life on Earth. By taking more from our ecosystems and natural processes than can be replenished, we are jeopardizing our very future." This is how WWF answered. http://wwf.panda.org/about_our_earth/all_publications/living_planet_report/
"The point of recalling the rape, pillage and desecration of communities as well as the destruction of ecosystems and biodiversity is not to get stuck in anger and hopelessness, but to transcend them through the power of compassion and forgiveness. " "It’s time to stop searching for reasons why we are failing to act over the imminent dangers of climate change and other sustainability challenges. The answer is obvious. We don’t need more scientific data or superficial behaviour change initiatives but to engage individuals at a deep emotional, psychological and spiritual level."
If you feel at odds with the world - it could be because you have retained the human values you were supposed to have discarded.
"We find ourselves technically free but powerless. Whether in work or out of work, we must live by the same rules or perish ... So, if you don’t fit in, if you feel at odds with the world, if your identity is troubled and frayed, if you feel lost and ashamed – it could be because you have retained the human values you were supposed to have discarded. You are a deviant. Be proud." http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/05/neoliberalism-mental-health-rich-poverty-economy
