There is no shortage of people like Bruce Jenner whose thoughts, feelings and actions defy analysis even as they crave understanding.
If I'm like you and you're like me, we both watched Diane Sawyer's interview of Bruce Jenner and you too may have been transfixed by it being poignant, touching and not unfamiliar.

>Man's power to heal his fellow man
What would happen to the world if every day every person spoke with another person as Naomi Feil did with Gladys Wilson?

Inspired by Michal Lev-Ram's Fortune cover story, "Disney CEO Bob Iger's Empire of Tech" (you should read it)
One of your most important responsibilities to the companies whose boards you serve on is to make sure it has the best CEO.
If you agree, I think you need look no further than Tim Cook at Apple and Bob Iger at Disney.
Why?

This has been a year that can use all the Joy we can feel. But when Xmas and Joy to the World pass on December 26, we should remember that "what the world needs now is love sweet love."
Love at its best overflows with tenderness. Tenderness is what comforts and heals pain and suffering from the inside out. Pain is pain, suffering is being alone in pain. When you take away people's aloneness, suffering they can't tolerate becomes pain that they can. The problem and challenge is that tenderness can't be rushed and in our go-go, get more, sooner world it is actually in danger of becoming extinct.

Arrogance + Power + Humiliation = Eye for an eye retaliation
Since I posted my previous blog, A New Paradigm to Fix the World - Fixing a Failure to Consider, I've heard from many others. Their reponses further caused me to ponder how little America truly understands other countries and other leaders such as Kim Jong Un and Putin.
The more primitive, arrogant and prideful a person's personality (not to be confused with lack of intelligence), the more inclined they are to react in an: "eye for an eye" fashion especially when they feel humiliated.

In the iconic movie Cool Hand Luke, the prison Captain played by Strother Martin uttered on more than one occasion the iconic line, “What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.”
That situation appears every bit as present today as it was then. The reason it continues is what underlies a failure to communicate. And that is a failure to consider.

Moore's Law which was first espoused by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, essentially and correctly predicited that technology speed and decreasing price would double every 18 months.
Futurist, Ray Kurzweil in his 1999 book, The Age of Spiritual Machines, spoke of the "The Law of Accelerating Returns" and further explored the exponential growth of technology. In recent years Kurzweil has predicted that Moore's Law will end as a paradigm in the early 2020's and be replaced by another paradigm.
I am not a technologist, but sometimes am able to see into the future when I work with CEO's and companies to reboot their "visionary" engines when they have stalled (usually from CEO's trying to run companies).
So here's my shot at the future.
