So for the last 3 days, I have been at the OuiShare Fest 16 in Paris, it’s another tough assignment!!

The event has been hosted at the Cabaret Sauvage situated on the banks of the Canal in Parc Villette and unlike many events/conferences/festivals that I have attended this has been really different.

I will be coming away from the event with a real positive energy, that I have picked up from talking to so many people who are creating something different.

The feeling of optimism about the future of the human race can be felt from all and the feeling of shared values, shared common purpose, there has been a real feeling of togetherness.

Most of our society is driven by fear, intolerance, judgement, hate, anger and that is created and fuelled like a disease by the established order. The order that hoards all the power, wealth, resources, media and government for the benefit of a tiny few. It is the industrialised system, that has turned the mass into interchangeable and disposable cogs in their machine, living a life of servitude to debt and living under an umbrella of fear and control.

It is the moment for the human race to turn that off, it is the moment to walk away from that all and come together and build an alternative, bypass the old OS. Build a new positive future for the human race focused on common good, focused on people and values.

We are living in a moment previously unimaginable to humans, where we can all now write our own book and publish it ourselves, we can broadcast on our own TV channel, we can share our message via a blog, social media, we can sing on our own ‘record label’, we each have the power to create whatever we want and share with whoever we want. We can use technology such as block chain to govern ourselves.

All of this has only happened in the last few years out of the 70,000 years it has taken homo sapiens to leave the plains of Africa to today. We are living in the most amazing times and none of us can predict just how much we can do, other than we have the power for the first time ever to become a single human race and govern ourselves for the good of all and turn our backs on greed, hate, fear, judgement, control and slavery.

What 3 days at the Cabaret have done for me, is to convince me to pursue my plans to be part of building that alternative.

I urge everyone to join in and help to create a world for all and not to be slaves to the tiny few.

The two tiers of technology

Yesterday I did our usual weekly podcast with my mate Bernie and by chance, we had an opportunity to chat with Julio about Blockchain.

I have been trying to find out more about Blockchain, as it is becoming a much talked about technology. I know it’s been around a while, but we’re a bit backward in London!!

But the thing that struck me, while talking with Julio and we referenced it in the podcast, we are living in a two-tiered world when it comes to technology.

Brian Solis coined a fantastic term in his great book ‘What’s The Future of Business’, he called it ‘digital Darwinism’, where many are getting left behind as technological changes at lighting pace. He said ‘when society & technology evolve faster than our ability to adapt’.

We do have a generation c, a connected generation, however, posting on Instagram, sharing experiences on social networks, buying stuff online based on reviews is one thing, keeping up to date with technology and the real impact it could have on the world, is another thing entirely.

There are about 2 billion smartphone owners globally, so that means there are 5.5 billion who are unlikely to be part of the connected generation and are unlikely to know about Blockchain. However, out of those 2 billion smartphone owners, I wonder how many are familiar with Blockchain and how it could completely revolutionise the world?

I still don’t completely understand it and I am not sure how it will impact the world. But I am very curious to see how.

But we do have a two-tier tech world developing, where many are not even aware of what is there. That is not a criticism or judgement, it is an interesting fact of our rapidly changing world and is almost unique in the history of the human race.

I believe that many in the world will use technology to bypass the current established operating system and that will bring about great change, much of which the masses will not be aware of until it has happened.

Technology, used in the right way, has the ability to solve the challenges facing the human race, it is up to us to connect, find out more and get involved in helping this revolution happen. It is the only way we will change the historic situation of the few controlling the many to a world run for all the human race.

Finally, there is undoubtedly an unknown third tier of technology, that is kept from all of us. Let’s hope change can happen fast.
