Will do Eman!

Hope enjoy your Ai studies.

I read a great book called 'decoding ai in financial services' by Clara Durodiè a few years ago.

It's a very interesting space.

Hi Eman,

I listened to your Badass podcast episode with Joel Hooks multiple times.

Your thoughts on education and using a percentage of earnings to help build and maintain community resonate strongly with me.

I've spent much of the last decade thinking about the need for a geo-social economy to work next to and in support of the competitive economy (geo-economic) and taxation economy (geo-political).

I'm thinking that implementing it might be possible by developing an online knowledge industry where businesses provide a percentage of future earnings to shared (similar to TerrainCoin) and voted upon using deliberative democracy.

You might enjoy reading the work of Bernard Lietaer.

Side note: If you're still in Ireland and ever find yourself over here in Sligo please feel free to hit me up for a good coffee! I read somewhere that living close to coffee shops improves your happiness 😊

Anyways, I wish you well in your endeavors.

John

Hey John,

Thanks so much for your note. I’m glad that podcast resonated with you, Joel’s so brilliant, I really enjoyed that chat.

Really interesting thoughts on geo-social economies, and online learning as a base. I’d love to hear more about what you’re working on. Not familiar with Bernard Lietaer but will definitely check him out.

And absolutely, I’ll drop you a message next time I’m in Sligo. I was actually there two weekends ago, such a beautiful part of the country. I get up that way a couple of times a year. I’m still based in Dublin for a couple more months, so if you find yourself in the big smoke, let me know!

Terrain was an amazing idea, and I'm proud to have been a part of it. I hope you build again.

Love this Eman, for your honesty, clarity and wisdom. And I LOVE the terrain metaphor, and how you explained it.
