Peak Humankind


These days you might have heard the phrase 'Peak Economic Activity', or 'Peak Apple' etc.  signifying a point in time that the economic cycle has reached a climactic and maximum efficiency threshold.  A 'Peak Apple' idea suggests that this trillion dollar machine cannot continue producing more i products and generate gargantuan profits at the same rate as it did before.

This idea extrapolated tomorrow and decades from now are the primary thesis of historian Yuval Harari's writings.  In the primary narrative there is a concept that suggest our current political system has simply broken down.  Not broken to manage our current day to day activity but rather provide for a grand vision for the future.

A future that defines what our humanity might look like and what the needs might be.  People in general will figure out that the civilization as an idea might itself not exist.  The idea that our very existence will be drastically different and might likely not need us to be around is fantastically ironic yet likely.

We as a species might simply be at our peak performance and will now be shifting gears to become inorganically into something transformative.  If we do not act decisively and with forethought he concludes we may be too late to save ourselves.  What is needed is true global collaboration on deciding how best to address the tangible threats of technology as we look at tomorrow.

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...

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...

Back in DC

This time for a tech conference in the realm of what else? AI. But applied to an oft neglected space called Knowledge Management. The latter is a community of practice that focuses on analyzing, organizing and making available reams of data that have been gathered over time by various functions within an organization for anyone in the company to utilize. This function or process is ripe for applying AI agents (or agentic AI framework) and optimize for better outcomes. It was informative. More rewarding was getting acquainted with folks who practice this craft as well as learning of what they see in the corporate or public sectors. Since the venue was Washington DC it also afforded me the chance to take evening strolls albeit the weather was trying. With wind chill in the single digit it still is a glamorous place to perambulate through history absorbing what this country has been through since its founding days. I was able to visit the place Lincoln was killed along with his monument t...
