Peter Diamandis, chairman and CEO of the X-Prize Foundation
and author of the new book The Future Is Better Than You Think
(free first chapter with summary of ideas)
The discussion was mostly if individuals or government are better in solving grand challenges...
Basically deriving from "greed" (make more money)
or "fear" (i.e. NASA of Soviets winning space race) mindset,
and neglecting that in both cases innovations comes from driven individuals
who happens to get in position to create innovation...
A smart phone in hands of all people in the world
should also come with "apps" with path to prosperity,
like free online learning and business opportunities
that are good for individuals and society.
