An Integral View on the Trajectory of the Human Project on TEDx

Humans are problem-solvers. The problem-solving triumph of one generation tends to generate more interesting, more complex problems for the next generation to solve. Our generation is the lucky recipient of a qualitatively new class of challenges that cannot be solved without taking a step back to rethink how we make sense of the world and how we approach problem-solving itself.

Climate change, terrorism, potential food & water shortages, pandemics, poverty, aging, the error & terror potential of exponential advances in technology and extreme experiments in science… in addition to the ever-present threats from super-volcanoes, mega-earthquakes, near-earth objects, and cosmic rays… How should we prioritize and why? How should we organize our problem solving efforts?

Imagine that Planet Inc. were an organization charged with securing the survival and development of the human race and you were the CEO—how would you answer these questions and how would you go about turning your answers into reality if your ideas were your only starting capital? That's Project Planet Inc. in a nutshell. To find out the backstory and what you can expect from us in the coming years, you can watch our recent TEDx talk.
