Description

“We have arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up our faces.” – Carl Sagan “I don’t think we are doing a good job as a society deciding what things are really important to do.” – Larry Page “…These are all good things. Why aren’t they doing this? It’s mad.” – Elon Musk "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters." – Peter Thiel “You have as much computing power in your iPhone as was available at the time of the Apollo missions. But what is it being used for? It’s being used to throw angry birds at pigs; it’s being used to send pictures of your cat to people halfway around the world; it’s being used to check in as the virtual mayor of a virtual nowhere while you’re riding a subway from the nineteenth century.” – Peter Thiel "The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks." – Jeff Hammerbacher "I believe that so many super-talented / creative people going into the law is a market failure. It's a market failure because many of these people don't understand what their alternatives are and are irrationally risk averse." - Marc Bodnick Albert Wenger put it best: “Investable capital [exceeds] the capital required to operate the economy by 2x. [But] the overall allocation of investible capital is still way off. [This misallocation of capital is attributable] to the more fundamental problem: we are misallocating our attention.”

Why my dream

I was an environmental activist fighting day and night with thousands of youths worldwide for a safer and greener future from 2008-2014. Leaving COP15 disgruntled and disillusioned, I realized how deeply entrenched public ignorance made it impossible for purely environmental solutions to be fully implemented. I believe, that the gravest problem of our generation is the misallocation of attention, where knowledge and information are arranged in a way that people can no longer know what are the most important things to know and why they are. Important things here are what affect our lives and survival the most (climate change and more). This misallocation of attention results in the misallocation of resources (imagine trillions of dollars) and poses existential risks. Therefore, I have been working on a knowledge platform where the most important things, instead of the most abundant or “hottest” things, can stand out, convincingly. To make it sustainable, I will have to build a lot of businesses around it, and I have had a roadmap for it in mind.

About special me

I have been developing the concept of PropMap the knowledge platform since 2010 and the progress is chronologically documented here. There's no latest document on PropMap because it's still evolving everyday. For a quick look, please check out bit . ly / ReadTheSP and bit . ly / PMPitch2 (omit the spaces). What I'm doing right now (Dec 2016) is a bit different but I've been fighting for the same causes ever since 2008, and nothing can stop me from achieving my vision: a “beautiful" world.

Experiences in the past

October 2016: We made a great leap. For the first time, with my vision and vigor, I’m attracting rather than begging my team mates. It's “let me join" from them, not “please do this" from me. They are the moons after years in my darkness. We have a godlike CTO (the first with whom I could discuss quantum mechanics, black hole and machine learning), a badass designer who have the same one-more-minute (to polish the product) principle like mine, a badass biz dev, a badass assistant, and a terrific mentor. We're geared for efficiency, sustainability and poised to succeed.
