close your eyes
take a deep breath, feel your body
bring your attention to your head, imagine the
inside. This is the place where you interpret
your reality
when you wander off, come back to your head
then bring your attention to your body, moving
downwards to your feet
open your eyes when you're ready
5. Who am I
I'm a Human Being
I'm driven by the bigger questions in life:
'who/what am I'
'why am I here'
'what is this reality I find myself in'
'what role does technology play in all of this?'
Never stop asking questions, question everything
I'm also a walking computer: making sense of all this
data: I'm a researcher by nature
What are the implications/applications of tech on our
humanness, wellness and consciousness?
I'm a Techno realist
7. What am I?
Good question....
Truth Seeker, Thinker, Philosopher, Futurist, Author,
Therapist, Coach, Consultant, Speaker, Computer
geek, Hermit, Heretic, Cyber Shaman, Adventurer,
Holistic Hacker...
My drive:
introduce new perspectives
ask fundamental questions
shift perception
boost consciousness
enter a dialogue
8. Who are you?
<Will put these in the chat>
who are you? (name/location)
what drives you? Are you on a mission?
what is your profession?
what do you love doing in your spare time?
what led you to the TransTech space?
what inspired you to join this Pod?
10. Know Thyself (1)
This is the question that drives me
What does it truly mean to be Human? What are
we capable of?
What is 'real', what can we measure?
We only use a fragment of our brain and DNA capacity, see only
0,05% of the visual spectrum. Atoms are mainly 'empty space' and
we consist mostly of water.
What about our #innertech?
Eg. Compassion, Empathy, Consciousness, Imagination,
Awareness, Love, Kindness. Our self healing abilities.
What about Quantum Science?
What about multidimensionality, are monkeys actually our ancestors?
Is history accurate?
11. 'We must pay equally as much attention to what it
will mean to be or remain Human in the future, as
we spend on developing infinitely more powerful
technologies that will change Humanity forever'
~ Gerd Leonhard

12. 'You don't have to change,
you only have to remember
who you really are'
13. #KnowThyself (2)
Quantified Self versus Essential Self
'We can't measure what we care about, so we care
about what we measure'
Data is the new oil, AI the new electricity
Involution versus Evolution
#HumanHacking Yuval Harari
'We need to know ourselves before AI does'

15. Breakout sessions
<1on1, 5 mins each>
.,
1. What is your take on this?
2. Are we maybe using tech to augment/ replace
what we already biologically have but not use?
Isn't our innate potential at risk of diminishing?
3. How can we safeguard this & what role do
Transformative Technologies play in all of this?
4. How do you maintain balance yourself?
What TransTech do you use/ would you suggest using?
