Estimada Laia - chapter 1 Birth

 Dear daughter, as it is barely two weeks since you were born, too early for the typical kid, but never too early for us, I decided to write a book for you. This book will include what your father thinks, feel and hope for this beautiful world we live in.

My intention is to connect further with you, and share my most precious gifts: my time, my love and my ideas. I do not take much credit of most of the ideas I am sharing, as I am inspired by no ends to the great minds existing in this world. First and foremost your mom, but also those visionaires, scientists and great people I got to know personally or through other means.

I do not expect you to agree with any of what this book is about, and I would love to discuss this you this ideas and learn a lot from you during my lifetime. My love to you will not be biased by how much we agree, but rather by the purity of your thrive and your honest way of living the life you got to live.

You owe us nothing, it is a gift to be your father, so on top of my acts of love and commitment to support you unconditionally, this is a demonstration of how important you are to me.

The world you are now is on one side promising, as we have the means to end poverty, loneliness and avoidable disease, but also under jeopardy, as there are multiple challenges that are not dealt properly. Climate change, peak everything, biochemical weapons, unregulated AI... are some.

Instead of alarming and panicking, I think is more healthy to get inform and act upon it. I will explain you, with my limitations and knowledge gaps, a personal vision of the world and what we could do to move towards a more beautiful one, and minimizing the risks we are facing.

Life is both pretty, challenging and scary, but I do believe there is no other way to live as getting commited and embrace it doing our best. I am very excited to share this journey with you, and hopefully more people join us in the discussions on such important topics.

I would like to talk to you about happiness, community, science, nature, intelligence, energy...As I did not find a book that summarizes life in a beautiful yet rigorous well, this is your father humble attempt.

Excuse me for my mistakes, and rest assure that every idea and action was seeking the mission of making this world more beautiful, just, safe and fun.

Comencem!
