| The Foresight Institute has initiated a crowd funded project to inspire some 300 engineering and entrepreneurial clubs to pursue studies in nanotechnology, AI and anti-aging research fields by supplying them with key books on these topics. |
The concept of STEM compression, is the idea that the most complex of the universe’s extant systems at any time (galaxies, stars, habitable planets, living systems, and now technological systems) use progressively less space, time, energy and matter (“STEM”) to create the next level of complexity in their evolutionary development.
The Foresight Institute is a leading think tank and public interest organization focused on transformational future technologies. Founded in 1986, its mission is to discover and promote the upsides, and help avoid the dangers, of nanotechnology, AI, biotech, and similar life-changing developments.
Foresight is sending bright young minds the following books by speakers, advisors, and supporters of the Foresight community:
They are also planning an inspiring Essay Contest that incentivizes students to read, reflect, and connect with our communities. Applicants will be earmarked for outreach, which will help us get them resources and uniquely leveraging experiences - like conferences featuring nobel-prize-winning scientists, inspiring TED-level+ innovators and successful entrepreneurs.
Supporting sister organizations such as Space Frontier Foundation, Humanity+, SENS, and 20Under20+ are also putting promotional material in book-boxes. Foresight is turning to crowd funding to make this pilot a success.
Most books came in as physical donations, but this is a bootstrapped project; they are still seeking funds to support the financial incentive prizes, student conference tickets, and remaining books being shipped in this week. If you'd like to help maximize this project's leverage visit their We Pay site to contribute.
