| Introduction | I love discussing the constant struggle human beings against the ruthless and insensible environment, ironically created by human themselves.Whatever development we see around ourselves will only increase the probability of a more disturbed society. Our economic developments reflect our continuous commitment toward the Disproportionate distribution of resources whose intensity will only increase with time. I dream of living life King size, with a pauper's wallet. My favorite hobby besides painting and sketching is reading and writing, and researching bout disruptive Technology strategies. This leads to coming up with “insane” links between otherwise unrelated things. For instance the craze for devising ads for soaps and toothpastes makes most countries at the demand side of terrorism with absolute no bargaining power. You think I am nuts…?My actions may seem contradictory to my beliefs. The belief: a moment spends without doing anything worthwhile is a moment wasted. Action: I spend hours staring at emptiness sipping rich black coffee. Connection: Paul Erdos said that “mathematician translates coffee to theorems. When I sip coffee and stare at nothing my mind is most agile. |
