The process for bringing ideas into the world is begging for re-imagination. How do we innovate in ways that don’t reproduce the conditions that nourish the tendencies that got us here?

Human development is the elephant in the room when it comes to calls for responsible innovation. What is the adequate training for innovators to be fit to wield powerful innovations?

This emergent ecosystem lacks a coherent vision, infrastructure, and resourcing. What is this moment calling for?
