Bootstrapping Empathy: You Say You Want a Revolution?
Now that we've agreed about our vision of the future, how do we get other people on board?
This episode marks an inflection point. Philosophy -- "an unusually stubborn attempt to think clearly" -- is essential when contemplating a new enterprise. But at some point we must stop thinking and start doing. And the only thing worth doing, for a shift this radical, is: Revolution!
In particular, every revolution starts with a small group of people inspired to work together for a better future. Prabhakar outlines four possible paths to take -- Politics, Art, Religion, Commerce (PARC) -- as well as the downsides associated with each. He also invited Bruce to a Design Review with his religious collaborators next Tuesday, July 21st, where Prabhakar will outline his plan for bootstrapping a revolution. Stay tuned next week to get Bruce's reaction!
