Let me explain my vision on the following subjects:

Technology :

New solutions which function in new and innovative ways to automate processes and simplify current systems in renewed ways, are created from a different dimension of vision than current systems and are not easy to regulate by the existing outdated rules and laws.  They exist on a different level.

Outdated law systems and regulation are non-functional when you want to implement new technology.

It would be wise to let Large corporations and tech designers who have an excellent knowledge of what’s existing and how to improve the current system, to let them suggest guidelines for regulation. This will bridge the cap between innovative technologies and the current cynical views towards technology because of the lack of knowledge and understanding from it. 

It is much easier to put the unknown in the “ danger corner” instead of finding a resolution which bridges the cap between current existing regulation and regulation that benefit the future.

The problem with current leadership and bureaucracy is that we want to hold onto systems that have proven not to function anymore. Instead of holding onto the past we should find common ground to embrace the future in the now and accept that current systems need to have an update. As long as our current ways of solving problems is holding onto the past instead of looking to where we are going and adaptation , we are f*cked anyway. We should be open to reinvent ourselves and educate ourselves and regulation systems.  Evolution in general is the best example I can think off,  everything out of balance which doesn’t adapt will eventually disappear, we should not be so afraid of change and implement it.

Our enforcement system should be simplified.

We are always afraid of losing what we have and that means you will loose it eventually, as growth and constructive creation is born out of believe and not out of fear, decline or deconstruction. 

It drags down great initiatives in the climate change crisis; 

The earth is on fire, massive droughts are the real enemy of the future, the earth is warming up and we are still discussing regulation on covid 8.0. I am not saying covid doesn’t exist , I am saying , put it in perspective of importance within a long terms vision. If we look to the left while real danger is approaching us from the right, we are not as intelligent as we assume we are. That aside: I’ve been active in the environmental industry for some years and I’ve had discussions with all the experts possible , Hydrogen experts, waste experts, government systems, subsidies etc. Amazing initiatives do exist, however it is like a super-marathon without finish line ( if you are not a large corporation) you won't get permits and grants. One question : If permitting takes 2 years before building starts, a common plant takes 2 years to build , means we are 4 years behind. We don't have time. We don't have time. Again, we don't have time. If the climate change agreement is as important to us as we suggest it is, our permitting system needs to change with it.

Regulation and law systems haven’t changed for 200-100-50-10-5- years. 

Instead of creating a complete new set of laws, we still add new laws incapsulating the effect and the capacity of new technologies. Let us discuss the world wide “permit” problem so we get directly to the last point “ Equality”. 

If it takes years to get permits for social housing projects or housing at all. We do face a housing shortage which means that only groups who are able to afford a home ( demand bigger than supply is scarcity is price inflation ). Our so called social system and low income households will have to live with the burden of slow bureaucratic procedures. They are the ones who bleed, while we intend and think that we are social. 

While no one knows where the world is going and we have experienced it all for ourselves during the pandemic. We should create a routemap for our future.  A roap-map that states where we want to go instead of always finding solutions after escalation takes place. We should prepare ourselves for the potential problems we might face in the next 25 years. How are we going to solve water shortages? , how will we deal with the energy crises longterm?  The problem of the modern west is that we are not the new frontiers anymore. We’ve become a heavy bureaucratic system where real longterm visionary leadership is lacking. Societies should be empowered by strong visionary leadership.

We have to prepare ourselves , protect environment and our children for tomorrow.

What if, tomorrow never comes?
