Where Are We Really Going?

The world is moving at an accelerating pace, far beyond we could ever conceive as we only get a mere glimpse into the many innovations. After all, laboratories and companies have a vested interest in protecting their proprietary research and development from preying public eyes.

To think we are only at the surface of what is to come, even with the world still shutdown in its ephemeral rage that is a global pandemic. This too, will pass into the annals of history books as a marked event—seemingly overlooked by other potential breakthroughs (or downfalls) to happen thereafter—as other events enter the scene.

However, where is all this innovation going?

I am struck by this interview on the Joe Rogan podcast with angel investor Naval Ravikant (a wonderful person to follow/listen to) about the potential to get our entire lives automated. With enough engineers, scientists and mathematicians, we can literally build a world where all the daily chores are done for us and we can focus on our passions.

Okay, but this begs a further question of the life we really desire because it seems we are really aiming for a life of simplicity.

One where our basic needs are met, our safety is in check and we can freely spend our days with people we love, doing what we love and sharing moments.

Why not create that life now?
