Imagine this. It's the year 2030 and a political party has just been elected in your country. You voted for it. You really wanted it to get into power and it did. It was called the 203o party. It has an optimistic yellow sunshine logo. Nine years earlier in 2021, you never believed you'd enthusiastically be supporting a political party to win power. In 2021, the political parties do not champion the policies you really care about. And they are too frequently corrupt and uninspiring....

How much wasted talent is there in the world? If you think about yourself, are your talents wasted? Are you in the wrong job with the wrong company operating at 60% or less of your full capacity? Expand your own answer to the whole world and you end up concluding there is a LOT of wasted talent in the world. Imagine all the people with far less opportunity than you. Why is this? People are terrible at knowing themselves. Most can't describe even to themselves what they'd be good at....

This might freak you out. A DNA test is available today that can assess whether you have a likelihood of high intelligence or not. A DNA test available today can also predict your personality; for example, your degree of openness or conscientiousness. Don't believe me? I did it this weekend on my own DNA. It's real and available now. You don't have to wait until 2030. According to Genomelink, my DNA predicts that I have a "stronger tendency for having high intelligence". And th...

I keep thinking about Air Taxis. They're going to be a massive hit by 2030. Whenever something is ten times better than what has gone before, it goes massive. Skype was ten times better for free international phone calls so it flew off the shelves when invented. Tinder is ten times better than standing in a bar. For a lot of people. Uber is ten times better than the old way of getting a taxi. Air Taxis are too. They cut your journey time in half. At least. They take you straight from A t...
