18/06/08 Organize the world’s rescue operations.
CHICAGO, UNITED STATES - Fergus Burns sent me a great piece last night, 21st century capitalism needs a revolution by Umair Haque.
You can read the message in it yourself, how to stop the create/destroy cycle we need to start to organize: “transform DNA, not lower-value technology” to radically change the world for the better for some measure of economic well-being on a global scale.
Organize the world’s hunger.
Organize the world’s energy.
Organize the world’s thirst.
Organize the world’s health.
Organize the world’s freedom.
Organize the world’s finance.
Organize the world’s education.
Umair, please add “Organize the world’s rescue operations.” to your list.
-Robin.

This is a fantastic and long-overdue discussion that Haque raises. What many of these questions really get to is what should be the larger purpose of software. What human values should software embody, and how should developers then integrate those values into code?
