ABOUT ME.

Everything I know is wrong.

Yes, you read that correctly. The power of the statement lies in the realisation that I know the limits of my knowledge. How liberating is that? If everything I know is wrong, what can I rely on?

First let me clarify what I mean by that statement. You are probably aware that everything is changing at an exponential rate - technology, commerce, information. To try and keep up is impossible.

But then there is physics. Ninety percent of space is missing according to the limits of current knowledge. Quantum physics is even more disconcerting. The more we discover, the less we know. The most frightening thing about this realisation is that there are no experts and no knowledgeable leaders. They're guessing at best. Just ask the banking 'experts' why their logic failed.

So we have to make it up as we go along and the most important question we will ever ask is 'how should we live?' That is our starting point and from there we will need all our creativity, all our abilities at improvisation and all our critical thinking skills to address this question.

They don't teach these skills at school. And the irony is that we will need them at an ever increasing rate in the coming years.

I happen to get huge enjoyment and feel most fulfilled creatively when I explore new ideas about this question.

My talents lie in helping other people understand and explore what is important to them. Usually, what is important to them is what makes them happy (or sad). And happy people make for much better societies.

So, what is important for you?
