Keynote: The Most Important Thing
summary
Argues that the actual "most important thing" is concrete prioritization: VC funding is rarely the real bottleneck and startups win by solving huge pains, not adding more software — example: accounting software that saves time and money. Claims the World3 / Club of Rome projection (1972) aligns with 44 years of data and warns of collapse, cites Arctic sea-ice collapse (about 20°C anomaly), decade-long power outages and shorter disaster recovery. Recommends specific actions: shift diets away from beef and palm oil, invest in local food, solar and community resilience, and push politics for energy and infrastructure change.
