I can imagine that some academics and start-up founders might be put off by increasingly radicalized governments, free-running hyper-capitalism, and individuals with more money than their inflated ego. So, perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate and consider a community that has already had its fair share of experience with things that stifle progress. A community of people who are open to learn, adapt, and truly progress – leaving the old world behind to take a step towards the future. It won’t be easy-peasy lemon squeezy, but it offers a fair shot at realizing their true potential.
At least for me, I really dig the European Union and would really like to keep living here. Are we perfect? Nope, defo no. Are we trying to do something humanly close to impossible? Yes. And that is precisely where we will prosper: in getting as many people on board as possible. Being truly inclusive is hard if you really mean it.
