Future Generations

There is a big problem with today's procreation.  The procree does not have a say in the matter.  For example he or she cannot procrastinate his or her arrival on the planet if the conditions are not suitable for arrival.

For example if there is bad weather at an airport the pilot of an approaching aircraft has complete veto power on whether to land in the muck or avoid the landing.  Come back later or go someplace else.  Why is it not the same with child birth?

Big problem.  In fact the problem is really embedded in the idea that the offspring does not have any say in the whole idea of being sprung.  People get drunk, get emotionally out of whack or whatever and bing - you have a crawler in nine months.  No discussion - no choice - pal you are out.

So as I theorize ground breaking ideas in my insightful writings here is a concept.  Babies will have ample opportunity to review their prospects before being born in the future.  Think about it.

Try to.

If there is war going on and you two (or more) decide to go at it to see if you can make chromosomes mingle or some such the production will hit a default check point in month 1.  An alert from the womb will flash on your wearable computer indicating their is a question brewing inside the oven and that it is marked URGENT.

The text of this message will ask for the State of the Union (as in the Marital one) and seek a neutral assessment from an entity say 'Moody's'.  Prospective parents will have to be ready to respond in 2 business days.

Once the report gets flashed back through ultrasound (during wellness checks) the next status update request will process.  Typically the bugger in the cooker would like to know how the first quarter went.   If both parents are gainfully employed and have good scores then the cooking can proceed to phase II - limbic development.

And so on and so on.

If at any point in the process there is a chance that the forecast for future propsects is dimming then the said crawler can use a delay fuse inside the womb to procrastinate arriving amidst uncertain times.  Also he or she can determine if the corporate culture is going to be suitable long term or if he /she should do any executive changes immediately.  These could be as simple as recommending a new paint color for the room or firing the father for incompetence.

Then there can be recommendations to ask for a game plan that explains the expectation from him/her and what if any resources will be available to achieve these goals.   If it is unrealistic in the eyes of the fetus then he can choose to entirely abort the mission or seek intervention from a specialty consulting business like McCanSee.

If due diligence proves the tide can turn then its a chance this kid is taking and will arrive well informed of the risk reward ratio so he or she can blame no one but himself for all future outcomes.

On the go(zay masta) in Japan again

Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk  My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...

A few good books

 On an informal mission to read one book a week as long as the eyes allow for such ambition. Fiction or non is not important as long as it entertains and /or educates. To that end the past few weeks have brought a bounty in the form of some wonderful and then not so engaging literature. Among the notables are - Non fiction category: 1. Good arguments by Bo Seo (how to handle a dispute or debate the most efficient way possible) 2. Genesis by Eric Schmidt (and former US Secy of State Henry Kissinger, who recently passed) - how AI might affect our lives as we know it 3. One in a billion - Zarna Garg (an autobiographical look at an Indian born American woman with a bindi narrated in a standup format - yes it is at times cliched but still funny) Fiction: 1. Personal by Lee Child (a vigilante story with Jack Reacher the giant, nomad protagonist of Child's novels goes hunting for a sniper) 2. Ramayana unraveled by Ami Ganatra (she might disagree about it being a work of fiction but oh wel...
