    Gestalten wir zusammen die Zukunft des Geldes

    Fokus Finance, Tagesanzeiger, 2020

    Es gibt aber einen Silberstreifen am Horizont. Wenn wir es schaffen, dem Bauplan der Natur zu folgen, dann können kollektiv intelligente Systeme entstehen, welche anpassungsfähig, robust und nachhaltig sind. Wir würden die selbstregulierenden Effekte einer wahren «unsichtbaren Hand» erfahren, die aus der kreativen Quelle des Universums schöpft.

    Es liegt in unserer Hand, welchen Weg wir gehen wollen. Wir können weiterhin an zentralisierte Kontrolle glauben und unseren gewohnten Gang gehen. Oder wir wählen eine neue Art der Organisation, welche im Herzen digital und dezentral ist. So wie die Natur intelligente Systeme kreiert, haben wir die Möglichkeit unsere Welt neu zu gestalten. Dies ist der Samen, aus dem eine strahlende Zukunft keimen kann.

    Quotes

    "I personally believe there is no reason the systems humans create can't also demonstrate super-intelligence."


    "Reality is so complex, we need to move away from dogma."


    "We're actually really lucky that [physics] works, because no one knows why the thoughts in our heads should relate to the fundamental workings of the universe."


    "Basically we don't know how these [financial] systems work."


    "People don't say this very often, but basically we don't know how these systems work. We created them, but really they have a life of their own. I think that's something that should change in the philosophy of how we deal with these problems."
