More Is More: Mindset of Abundance
summary
Argues that scarcity is a mindset and gives concrete pivots: electrolysis made aluminium common, $25 tablets could replace tutors, and adaptive, gamified, personalized learning can scale education to billions. Proposes micofluidic and semiconductor sensors and tricorder-style diagnostics to move care out of hospitals, nanotools to clean water, and DNA sequencing plus synthesis to “teleport” biological information. Frames philanthropy as building scalable solutions, stresses execution over hoarding ideas, sharing, rapid pivots, and measurable impact.
