Karanbir Singh headshot

Karanbir Singh

Satisfaction Economy & Possible Implementation & Transition Tracks

VIEW PRESENTATION

Karanbir Singh entered the learning design and development world with an altruistic intent and a plan, straight out of college in 2002. The plan kicked off with investments in specific internet domains towards systematic, connected, and future-based implementation, and focused on-the-job learning. The domains included .coms for Circles In Structure, Cognitive Balance, and Learning Median, a learning consultancy established in 2009. The focus of his on-the-job learning was to understand and apply learning models and strategies.

Prior to launching his own brand, Karanbir gained experience in a fortune 500, a startup, post graduate studies, and as a freelancer for a short time. Since then, with the evolution of my objectivity, other social, connected projects were organically added to his plan and its execution.

Karanbir’s involvement in learning became more personal when he took on the role and responsibility as a primary parent. He also, during this extended time, has overcome debilitating physical, mental, and emotional traumas, many times over. Expanded thought and action led to projects such as Satisfaction Economy (SE), Earth Spark! (a foray into values for young kids), Evolving in Education (a nonprofit set to revolutionize public education globally) and more! Through these experiences, Karanbir’s ability to connect science, learning, and reality has shaped his counsel and interactions with a very wide audience towards learning excellence.

Grateful for these experiences and relationships, he continues to look forward to many more engaging and mutually beneficial partnerships in learning. Addressing the polycrisis holistically and in time requires a paradigm shift in human consciousness and systems which defines much of his approach, work and social endeavors.

Alan Anderson

Citizens’ Climate Lobby En-ROADS Software

Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) are building support for a national bipartisan solution to climate change. Alan will be demonstrating En-ROADS software that was developed by Climate Interactive, MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative and Ventura Systems. It allows users to simulate future global temperature changes based on our mitigation choices. CCL has been focused on passing Carbon Fee and Dividend legislation which has been predicted by economists to be the fastest, fairest and most practical way to drastically reduce greenhouse gases. Their grassroots, bipartisan, non-confrontational lobbying approach has resulted in a seat at the table when congress is discussing and formulating climate legislation.

Alan is a retired engineer with past careers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Commissioned Corps and the USDA Forest Service, spanning 41 years, during which he observed, measured, and managed natural resources (Oceans, Forests, and Grasslands). Experience during these careers have honed an already heightened concern for the impacts we are having on our environment.  He has spent a fair amount of 10 years of retirement time volunteering for various environmental groups whose missions include the preservation of a sustainable environment.

Sujan Barua headshot

Sujan Barua

Justice for the Planet and Humanity

VIEW PRESENTATION

Sujan Barua passionately discusses the critical condition of Mother Earth, emphasizing that humanity has driven the planet to a point where it is "dying" and now in urgent need of rescue, much like a patient in an ICU. Barua stresses the dire consequences of human actions, including pollution from fossil fuels, deforestation, and other environmental degradations that have led to widespread suffering and death. He highlights the hypocrisy in society's approach to global crises, noting that while many acknowledge the problems, few take meaningful action. He mentions his personal efforts, such as solo campaigns in Dhaka, to raise awareness about issues like noise and air pollution, and he criticizes the global indifference to the escalating climate crisis.

Sujan argues that humanity is both the virus and the cure for the planet's ailments, urging collective action to "save" Earth rather than merely praying for salvation. He also discusses the widespread impacts of pollution on human health, citing alarming statistics about deaths caused by air, water, and noise pollution. Despite the grim reality, Barua remains hopeful, calling for innovative solutions and greater global cooperation to address these challenges before it's too late. His message is a call to action, imploring individuals, governments, and organizations to take responsibility for the future of the planet and humanity.

From Scarcity to Abundance: Incorporating a New Transformative Economics

VIEW PRESENTATION

Michael Wayne, PhD, L.Ac, is a doctor of Chinese and Integrative Medicine, an author of five books and a filmmaker. He has made a feature film, a feature documentary, a video web series, a video interview series, and currently co-hosts a podcast called Voices for the Future. He is currently in pre-production for a documentary film entitled “How to Save Democracy.” His work has been focused on the theme of positive societal change—politically, economically, environmentally, and culturally. As he has gone deeper in the weeds of positive societal change, he has come to see and understand the root causes of the problems society and the world face, and what the solutions are.

His most recent book, “Toward a More Perfect Union: From Scarcity to Abundance for All” focuses is on politics, economics, health, climate change, and the evolution of consciousness, and discusses not only these issues, but also presents solutions, and how we can achieve a more sustainable, regenerative, egalitarian, and redistributive society.

Michael says, “These topics are all deeply interconnected, and I am immersed in all three. Our political and economic systems are deeply skewed toward the interests of the wealth class, and favor the agenda of fossil fuel energy companies, which has led to the climate crisis. To change things, we need to create a more responsive and direct democracy, and an economic system that favors a more sustainable, regenerative, egalitarian, and redistributive approach. And underlying all that will take a transformation to a more evolved and sophisticated way that we think, act, and behave.”

Optimizing Performance and Creativity with FlowState

VIEW PRESENTATION

Thomas Poetter graduated as master of computer science from the University of Kaiserslautern with an IQ of 140 (at the time the only opportunity to study AI, today called RPTU) with artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) as key focus areas. Working with DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) during his studies, Thomas was the only German AI graduate around the year 2000, one of the first entrepreneurs who received in 1998 a 2 years’ start-up stipend from the Fraunhofer society, in his case from the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE).

Inspired by Fraunhofer’s success with MP3, Thomas achieved a comparable success with his 8 patents around innovations for watermarking text-based contents (eBooks, documents, web pages, etc.) and for secret inconspicuous communication. His business plans received 3 awards and €40k in prize money, among them 2nd best in Germany (VW’s Promotion startup contest) and Thomas was 2x best German participant of the business French contest “Golden Word” (Mot d’or with over 30 000 participants). The patents are now being used by IBM, SAP/Sybase, Amazon, Intel, Microsoft, Nuance, Fuji Xerox, AT&T, Amazon, Fraunhofer, Yandex, Adobe, Discord, Certicom and many others.

Since then, he and his company have successfully helped thirteen DAX30 corporations, the German government and more than 100 international Fortune 500 corporations making each project a success and achieving significant innovations in the fields of AI, IT architecture, cybersecurity, big data and artificial intelligence – improving the lives of more than a billion people. His publications have achieved more than 30 000 downloads, ranking him in the top third of all researchers in spite of never ever having gotten research subsidies like most of the researchers.
