Reason for Optimism
"Abundance is our future."
This is from Peter Diamandis, head of the X Prize Foundation.
"... which offers large cash incentive prizes to inventors who can solve grand challenges like space flight, low cost mobile medical diagnostics, and oil spill cleanup. He is chair of Singlarity University, which teaches executives and grad students about exponentially growing technologies."
It's not gloom and doom for 2012 and the future. There are great things lying ahead for humanity, not that there won't be some challenges along the way.
Stop listening to the media news and listen to Peter Diamandis talk about what is happening. It'll feel like a shot of B12 for your psyche.
