So while I can't tell you if bringing a child into this world is the morally-responsible to do, I can say that the future, much like the present, is going to be a whole lot better than you think.
From Peter Diamandis
Every generation feels it has the problems that will destroy it. That's because we can perceive them a long time before we have the ability to fix them.
I have the general philosophy of creating the future you want to see.
By 2020 the U.S. will be short 91,000 doctors. There's no way we can educate enough doctors to make up that shortfall, and other countries are far worse off.
If you give people unlimited time and money, they'll do things the same old way. But if they have to achieve the goal in a brief time, they'll either give up or try something new.
I think that we're living in a time where there are trillion-dollar opportunities that never existed before.
Your mission is to find a product or service that can positively impact the lives of 1 billion people because that's the game we're playing today.
Nothing gets us down more than watching violence on television or reading about war and brutality in the newspaper. The truth is, there's a massive reduction in the amount of violence around the world.
As sensors and networks continue to expand around the world, we'll see violence drop even further. After all, when there's a danger that your actions can be caught on tape and shown around the world, you're more responsible for your behavior.
In most developed countries, the average person receives about 16 years of education. Even in developing countries, the population gets five to eight years of education.
