The document provides an overview of abundance and prosperity through simple strategies. It discusses how current explanations of scarcity, competition, and profit maximization no longer fully explain our reality given technological advances and abundance of resources like food, water and energy. It argues we should move from profits to benefits and sharing access, ideas, skills and passions. The future may see changes like collaborative innovation, distributed manufacturing and networked co-creation instead of traditional corporate models. Overall, the document advocates awakening to a new age of abundance through cooperation and sharing rather than competition.

Welcome to a new worldview. Looking at the planet as your home and something you should care for may seem odd to you. Yet, this story will show you how much sense it makes. It is as much the story of your life, as it is the story of our planet.

The Infinite Resource - Growing Prosperity While Reducing Impact on the Earthramezn
What are the limits of growth on the Earth? Can we increase our prosperity while saving out planet? Ramez Naam argues that knowledge is our ultimate resource, innovation our ultimate creator of prosperity. With examples across agriculture, energy, water, and more, Naam argues that we have tremendous headroom to grow prosperity, IF we make the right choices in aligning that growth with the best interests of our world as a whole.
What Energy Sources are available & how do they work?
Civilizations are based on the fuels they use to power themselves. The fuel determines the technologies used, and the technologies determine the lifestyles, economies, and eventually the entire culture. So the transition to sustainable fuels is critical if we wish to design sustainable cultures.
This class explores which fuels can be considered 'renewable' & under which circumstances.
Also we look into the various transformer technologies which are needed to make this energy available to us, how they are most effectively used and we explore what a truly 'solar-powered civilization' might look like.

Brave New World: Trends & Opportunities in the Emerging Green Environment(IT...Tom Barrett
Over the last two and half years we have experienced some of the greatest changes in the history of this country. The economy is only part of it. Every organization has the power and the talent when unleashed will create dramatic change. Here are the key points:
- Excess Capacity: Competition is increasing and margins are shrinking
- The Impact of Local Businesses on the Economy
- The EPA: Friend or Foe
- The Impact of Downsizing on Employee Engagement
- The Dramatically Increasing Presence of Women in Work
- Transforming Your Business by Creating Value

Slides from my talk @instedfest on 5/2/2015
Explaining the transition from the existing economic paradigm of extraction to the next one of regeneration with decentralized solutions. Banking is the largest industry, debt is their most profitable product, yet NOW creativity is the new capital, making the old "middle man" premise of value exchange obsolete!
Slides from my talk in Los Angeles, on Nov 2013.
The core concept is about reexamining our economic premise of hard capital costs being dematerialized by new efficiencies. Now, given that we have innovated ourselves out of the institutional lender role, why should we still incur recurring costs? Why can't we not adapt our economic operating systems to flow like our 360˚ cradle to cradle manufacturing systems? When we follow nature's recursive patterns, and follow our inner truths, the possibilities can be more than promising!

The UnManifesto
3 Lenses for tuning into the frequency of a unified humanity
Our operating systems are failing us. Our regionally scarce past had confused our selfishness as solutions. Solutions that now present more problems than they solve. Prosperity with poverty, productivity with pollution, the fat and sick gorging on the weak and starving, while the underlying methods behind the madness go ignored. So, we continue running our world with the ideas and “isms” that benefit one group over another, expressed with manifestos...that separate us even more!
Destroying our world to chase imaginary wealth does not make sense to anyone now...not even to those who now run the game. We simply cannot fix these problems with the same thinking that had created them. This is now the time for us to grow up, reorganize ourselves with the understanding of our true nature, and tap into the deeper wisdom we have had all along.
Now is the time for our UNMANIFESTO
Join us in co-creating the next evolutionary epic of open ideas, sustainable innovations and culture hacks from around the world to your doorstep. Everyone is invited to solve our own real, local problems without the ideological trappings of the past that got us here, and with the collective wisdom of all of us. Together, we can co-create a sustainable and abundant reality that reverbs and replicates itself everywhere...starting with you. You are the revolution, and this is NOW (Facebook/nowisus)
The second presentation for the book examining why we look at our debt based market ecosystem numbers as finite while assuming that human and natural capital are infinite. Suggesting solutions for crowd sourced development of new energy innovations featured in the book to stop the madness!

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
