In this mindmap David Lipschitz looks at the multiple crises that are hitting humanity all at the same time and he has some ideas of how to solve these problems. This mind map forms part of David's Youtube series which you can find here https://bit.ly/davidlipschitzworldcrisesdiscussion
Our Really Big Problems Mind Map By David LipschitzDavid Lipschitz
These are some of the things I spend my time thinking about. I am concerned about the long term effects (benefits and problems) of automation and how ownership can change to support everyone in a new retirement paradigm and future.

Kees Donker from IBM presented at the Servitization for manufacturing session at the Service Innovation Congres 2010 (DC10) in Almere, the Netherlands.
The global, long term picture to set the context for the day – trends in population, geopolitics, technology, the massive issues of climate change, migration, resource and energy scarcity.
Seattle Interactive Conference: Beyond 2020 The Shape of Things to ComeGlen Hiemstra
Glen Hiemstra, Founder and CEO of Futurist.com, speaks to 2013 Seattle Interactive tech conference. Glen takes us over the horizon into the world of the future. Let’s imagine that the issues of transparency, privacy, data security, openness and information ownership have been solved more or less satisfactorily by 2020. Beyond that, what are the possibilities? How about a world of 3D hyperconnectivity, where the concept of online and offline have effectively disappeared. A world where the merging of information technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics and cognitive sciences can bring us to the edge of a new age. If, and it is a big if, we can leverage these technologies and the social and political landscape to solve the great challenges of energy, sustainability, and income disparity. Are we ready to build a preferred future?

The forthcoming impact of Diversity, Technology and Environmental SustainabilityCamilla Crescini
A presentation created by Camilla Crescini (IULM University, Milan) for CidaCo, a specialist training and consultancy company that help organisations achieve resilience and growth, delivering game-changing ideas with a fresh approach, new thinking and creative energy.
For its Leading Change labs, in the frame of DCSR Project, CidaCo has developed this presentation to illustrate the forthcoming impact of Diversity, Technology and Envioronmental Sustainability.
In fact, the presentation has been made to illustrate the view that, in the middle of the 21st century, the essential elements of organisational resilience are not only Leadership, Strategic Financial Management (including business modelling etc.) and Innovation (Business transformation), which most people accept, but also, critically, those of Diversity, Environmental Sustainability and Technology. Here's why...

9 Technology Mega Trends That Will Change The World In 2018 | PowerPoint Pres...Graphi Tales
Some tech trends fizzle out and die a quiet death, while others are so significant that they transform our world and how we live in it. Here are the top nine tech mega-trends that I believe will define 2018 and beyond.
Five Disruptive Technologies and Their Impact on Connecticut's JobsBillKelvie
Technology disruption will cause the loss of 47% of jobs according to a recent Oxford study. This research looks at five technologies which will drive this wrenching change: Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Vehicles, Electronic Commerce, Internet of Things and Robotics. It examines the impact on CT but is very applicable to the United States as well.
Smarter Cities | IET Talk on the Built Environment in 2050Alexis Biller
Talk organised by The IET (Institution of Engineering & Technology) at Imperial College, London, on 27 November 2009.
- Build Environment Technologies sub-group:
http://kn.theiet.org/communities/betnet/
The talk commences with example startling data to seek audience attention & participation. Cities are a fulcrum of ever growing population migration, this presents various issues that must be faced promptly so as to allow the next generation an opportunity to define their own built environment (for living, working, and playing). The ecosystem of groups involved is presenting new opportunities for entrepreneurs and new partnerships. The talk ends with a brief look-back at the technology that has been developed over the last 50 years, before posing a set of new questions and opening for discussion.

By 2015, the South African government had realised that there was a serious problem with Eskom and its ability to provide electricity.
The South African government instituted The Eskom War Room. I was at the launch. Here is the mind map notes I took.

Textiles Industry Market Entry Strategy MindmapDavid Lipschitz
In 2021 I did a full 3 months project researching the publically available information on the textile industry with a possibility of entering the market with some investors. The project didn't work out; I didn't get paid; the team fell apart; and I've got this Mind Map sitting on my computer gathering dust.
Feel free to use it. If you can make use of my time or capabilities, please let me know. I grew up in a textile family and worked full time and part time for our family textile business for 27 years until the business was first sold, and then went into liquidation. Unfortunately the family business and the new owners ignored my advice.
My idea for a CashOnly app, separate from all the banking systems, switches, etc.
Some questions: do we need a blockchain? do we need to use any existing switches? can we do this without creating a bank? how do we prove that cash was received? how do we do this without using banking terms? is it perhaps a loan management app? how does money move between people?
ACDP Presentation by David Lipschitz - parliament in Cape TownDavid Lipschitz
Presentation to the political leadership of the ACDP, African Christian Democratic Party, about how to enhance and run the electrical system in South Africa. Presentation on 14th June 2012.
Note that my contact details have changed. My cell number is now +27 74 119 3246, and I don't have a landline anymore.
This is a presentation of a textiles ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system that I wrote. It shows what a single professional programmer can do. Analysis, Design, UX Design, Database Design, Programming, Testing, Implementation, Training, Maintenance, Iteratively and using Agile, before Agile was invented.
Parashah Re-eh and how it is applicable to our environment - A Modern and Biblical View - Presentation by David Lipschitz on 26th August 2014 at Limmud
This presentation was created in 2009. So many of the reasons why I created it are still valid. I still want to work with a group of people in the City of Cape Town, concerned Citizens for example, on building a place which can be a showcase for Environmentally Friendly, inexpensive, living.
Oh, and the site is still available, mainly because it is in a flood plain, but we have dealt with this problem by building a Berm.
Preparation for a meeting at Eskom Megawatt ParkDavid Lipschitz
What and who is electricity for? Eskom employees? The general public?
What should our current capacity be? 28 GW, 40 GW, 160 GW, 360 GW?
Stats: Statistics: what should we believe?
What is the fastest way for us to fix our electricity grid in South Africa, and also in the USA and worldwide?
How should Active Citizens be involved?
How does Moody's come into this?
How to future proof a utility?
How to scale up exponentially?

Citizen Power Station Mind Map by David Lipschitz created on 9th April 2016. How can we create publicly owned water and electricity utilities?
My hypothesis is that Citizens don't want to defect from the national grid, but rather want to work with their utilities to grow the economy and to make their lives safer and healthier.

SAFCEI (South African Faith Communities Environmental Initiative)
WESSA (the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa), 350.org, Government, Private Individuals, and members of the public got together and discussed how to make our world a better place.
"Join a discussion with dynamic climate leadership from local government, business, the media, education, youth, civil society and faith communities. Speakers will be invited to provide brief responses to focused questions before an open discussion with all participants. Messages from the questions, responses and ensuing conversation will be collated into a statement challenging local and global leaders to act urgently and purposefully the global climate crisis. WESSA, SAFCEI and 350.org along with other supporting organisations and communities , are hosting this Cape Town mini-summit, contributing to a global initiative involving thousands of people around the world who are holding climate events on this day."
David Lipschitz's talk at the SAEE Conference on 12th November 2015. This talk was about the fact that technologically we don't have a problem in Africa anymore. Our problem is a Social one. And we should discuss this and solve this problem. Note that the fix will involve decentralisation, but decentralisation is anathema to our leadership and there is no opportunity for "rents" (corruption) in a decentralised system.
This report delineates the pressures of water scarcity on countries during the onset of prolonged drought / frequent floods with the objective of highlighting best practices, scalable interventions that integrate uncertainties and risk into the water governance architecture.
It is written by Dr Sanchita Talukdar and was commissioned and paid for by me.
It deals with the South African water crisis from a global point of view.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
Our really big problems (CRISES) Mind Map By David Lipschitz
1. Our really big problems (CRISES)
Mind Map By David Lipschitz
Started 21 April 2018
Latest Update 19 June 2022
Electricity
3.6% growth means 40GW
becomes 80GW in 20 years
Doubling population means the
80GW should be 160GW
Eskom needs to be the Grid Owner or
someone else will do it: millions of
people in their garages
Eskom doesn’t understand that the importance of
power stations isn’t in the number of people who
build or maintain them, but in the number who have a
livelihood because of them
Water
Shortages lead to rapidly rising prices until the
supplier is expunged from the market either by
small systems or by war
Earth has an abundance of
water, and energy
Food
Prices are rocketing and
quality is deteriorating
Yet today food can be grown in buildings
and quality can be increased
Education
The third world
population is exploding
The world’s ability to educate
these people using the current
paradigm is decreasing
The opportunity is to find a way to “educate” people
without them needing to be literate. Writing and reading
are relatively new features in our lives, only 6,000 years
old, and hence why The Old Testament says that the world
is only 6,000 years old
Even with MOOCs
Transport
A massive disruption is on the cards with electric vehicles
and driverless technology being ubiquitous within 20 years.
Petrol stations and their attendants, and taxi and bus drivers
will be a thing of the past
Jobs
All jobs are at risk
Even jobs which need to be
on site will disappear
Electricians
Plumbers
Doctors
Law enforcement
Camera technology will make a
lot of on the street law
enforcement redundant
And driverless vehicles will never
get any kind of violation
They will never speed, never park illegally, never be
without an appropriate license disk (there won’t be
license disks),and if they need to speed to a hospital
in an emergency there will be some sort of
mechanism to do this
Mining
Is being automated and transport of mined
products to refineries and power stations
happens on conveyor belts
Off site jobs
Computer
programmers
Design patterns and other reusable
technologies will mean that
Programming is simplified
But the people who
understand how it all fits
together will be in demand
At the moment Programming is
becoming more complex
Accountants
CaseWare and DraftWorx will disrupt the
auditing industry. Already 90% of the
work is done by “clients”
Lawyers
Call centre jobs
Fiber technology will mean
that call centres will run
from peoples homes
Or AI will run
the call centre
Transport jobs
As driverless vehicles
become the norm
And all the employees who are
involved in making the system
work will be automated
Airport luggage handling is already
automated inside the buildings
Farmers and food
production jobs
Farming is remote and in
South Africa it is unsafe
Farmers are moving into
buildings in cities
Office buildings
CBD type Office
buildings might
disappear
Traffic is already
a nightmare
Pod offices and Coworking spaces
are expanding exponentially
Many people are already
working from home
Shopping centres
Online shopping
is taking over
Will become amusement arcades
where people hang out
Parking garages
Will disappear And possibly
become flats
Tax
Tax depends on
jobs and profits
In a world of exponential growth and especially
exponential growth of free resources the tax base will
decrease dramatically and quickly
So
Why we need Theme Parks
to remain
The jobs will be in
entertainment
$45 billion spent annually by
corporations sponsoring
sports and athletes
DSTV etc will disappear, as micro
entertainment takes over
Things becoming smaller and
“Minituralisation” will mean that
Electricity, water, food, and education,
will be made and consumed
at the point it is needed
Producers and Consumers
will become Prosumers
Plus see The King and The Peasant (mind map) for things poor
people have that even the President of the United
States did not have 15 years ago
And $900,000 of free apps on your
SmartPhone. see Abundance by
Diamandis and Kotler
Mindfulness
The main point
I want to be
alive, in 3 minutes,
and then next week
And predict the future
This informs next week and the
next 100 years, which informs
the next 3 minutes
Garbage
Eg plastic in the ocean
One garbage truck of plastic dumped
into the ocean every minute
And
pharmaceutical
waste
Reuse / Recycling
Land Fills
Incinerators
Health
Chronic Illness
High Blood Pressure
Diabetes
Heart Attacks
Plagues and Pandemics
Nature is ill
She has a
respiratory
problem
She sends humans a breathing
disease. Humans ignore this
warning at our peril
Cancers
Nutrition
Misunderstandings
Medical +
Healer -
Brain
Worry
Anxiety
Big problems caused by an inability to
make decisions in a world of
mystery vs puzzle
Depression
