A crash course in changing the world.
001 Social Innovation: where will I be in ten years?
Today in ten years, I imagine myself moving around the world, across all continents and countries. Meeting new friends, getting to know different cultures and ways of life, and not staying anywhere too long; a rolling stone. I will be sharing what I know, trying to help others where I can, and trying to learn more wherever I go. Sometimes, somebody just needs somebody to listen to them, or a friend; somebody to inspire them - I will be this person. While traveling, I will always have a bag with seeds with me - namely, avocado seeds and Adansonia seeds. I will try to tell people about how to plant these, and how sustainable, and how nutritious their fruits are. Where nobody wants to listen, I will plant the trees myself in hope that somebody else will find them. Of course, I will also be writing down my daily experiences and sharing them on a blog on the internet that has thousands of readers. These readers will read what I am doing, give me advice, and share their own ideas about how to change the world on a day to day basis.
Although I may not have a steady place of employment, I will have studied law, politics, economics and philosophy by then. I will still have a lot to learn and will not know everything, but have the foundation to interpret, analyze, and create solutions. Living from day to day is enough for me; I don't need luxury or comfort: a meal, somewhere to sleep, and a means of transportation are taken care of by money I can make on the side by playing my guitar, or in the worst case, money that I have set aside for emergencies. Naturally, I will always travel and live in the most eco-friendly way possible. In ten years, I will be a type of missionary of knowledge and an advocate of books, language and science, hoping to spread the power of these around the world, to the remotest places where nobody else wants to go.
When Alchemy calls me to solve the Tokyo food crisis, I will be more than ready to jump in immediately, and use methods I've already mentioned - such as the Adansonia seeds, which contain more vitamin C than an orange, more calcium than a cow's milk, and can be used to filter dirty water - to help solve the crisis.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
