Futur/io faculty ask
me anything
What was your first touch with the future?
It started in the ’70s as I was very fortunate to be born into a multicultural family of Global Citizens who were always early adopters, creatives, thinkers, and entrepreneurs. They showed me the future through international air travel when I was just a few months old (I remember when smoking was allowed on flights and everyone wore their finest outfits), rich multicultural family history, deep love for creativity, and critical thinking. The book The Limits to Growth and my father letting me use one of the first computers run with IBM cards then with large spool tape drives at his companies after hours and on weekends to play games.
What’s your personal utopia?
A Symbiotic Earth – Billions of empowered Global Citizens living an adaptive lifestyle of health and sustainability within our planetary boundaries not a utopia but a true resilient desirable future.
This inspired me the most…
my parents, mentors, and friends who empowered me to see the world as it is NOT and imagine the future as is CAN BE while being well versed in the past so not too repeat Humanities same mistakes and use collective learning as an exponential springboard.
