Slides from my talk in Los Angeles, on Nov 2013.
The core concept is about reexamining our economic premise of hard capital costs being dematerialized by new efficiencies. Now, given that we have innovated ourselves out of the institutional lender role, why should we still incur recurring costs? Why can't we not adapt our economic operating systems to flow like our 360˚ cradle to cradle manufacturing systems? When we follow nature's recursive patterns, and follow our inner truths, the possibilities can be more than promising!

67. Expensive?
Patents?
Paying for Free?
Why does any
electronic media
unit cost money if
there is no hard
capital cost
required to
reproduce it?
Why do process
inventions need to
be patented if no
physical equipment
needs to be
produced in order
to demonstrate it?
Disruption?
What does
disruptive
technology actually
disrupt other than
the business
models of its
predecessor
technologies?
If both producer
and customer
require less
resources and effort
to produce and
access goods and/
or services, why
does it cost the
same as before or
even more?
Lenders?
Monetization?
Why does
software require
monetization if it
already solved the
problem that used
to require hard
assets before?
Why are lenders
even required if
consumers can
pre-fund producers
with membership,
and producers can
reduce their cost of
production with
new innovation?
