Maybe we can use something like LinkedIn Premium to figure out how to be more useful to an employer [so that we could write bigger checks to philanthropic organizations]? Or maybe we can use something like the LinkedIn API to get a lists of the kinds of companies that are will be needing highly compensated people who do the kind work that we want to do? But does writing checks to charities really do anything other than just simply make the fundraising aspects of fundraising organizations grow like a bad cancer?

Maybe we should think about building something new that people will not only really need, but is also better than anything else out trying to deliver something people really need, while also supplying NEW better-paying jobs and higher ROI to frugal investors who have scrupulously avoided buying stupid consumer shit or spending their paychecks on booze ro cigarettes and instead have saved their money and maybe deserve a higher ROI for their hard-earned money because they are willing to take more risks in order to GROW the economy and deliver RADICALLY BETTER new technological products that fill critically important needs in future economy … sequester carbon as LIFE is about being forward-thinking enough to understand something about the dynamic nature of living ecosytsems in order to understand what will be NEEDED in ten, twenty-five, fifty, one-hundred or even one thousand years.

If we want to understand RADICALLY better technologies we HAVE TO stop looking at idiotic ponzi schemes like cryptocurrencies – this means we have to stop being fascinated by short-term gambling payoffs or and ditch the moronic fascination with casino strategies that have benefit the few at the expense of MANY suckers … we have to go beyond StupidTech which merely redistibute returns but do not expand the pie for everyone.

This means that if we are serious about PRACTICAL things that REALLY help the world and expand the pie for everyone, HAVE TO look at the stories of startups like Mellanox the Israeli-American supplier of Infiniband technology and employer of Palestinian engineers in Ramallah first and then, even in Gaza.

Okay, okay … we get it! … almost nobody can begin to match what Mellanox has done for the WORLD, but we can learn from the Mellanox story … AND we can learn how it was almost derailed by an IDIOTIC BACKWARD-LOOKING value-investing strategy which totally failed to understand the nature of growth and FUTURE GROWTH from the development of radically better technologies … there are lot of examples to learn from … but MOST of these examples will actually be, just like cryptoshit, totally stupid flash-in-the-pan ponzi schemes that will not deliver anything of value to the world … but we need to look at the ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM … we have to try to understand LIFE … and what makes it possible for LIFE to thrive and benefit other lifeforms … it’s like looking soil ecoystems to see the useful things like antibiotics, while realizing that the ecosystem is also full of soil-borne viruses, eg anthrax, that we should not want to invest in.

Let’s dive in by taking a look at how startups are being funded in things like the 500 Flagship Accelerator Program or Techstars or Y Combinator or AngelList or Venture Hacks or Crunchbase or CB Insights …

Or, we could look at what trends we see in the current crop of billion-dollar unicorns look like and we could try to figure out what might be the next big thing … figuring out how to be useful is not really good enough, the extremophile VERY HIGH growth companies are high growth companies that have somehow figured out how to be in what is the VERY MOST useful and growing to be even more increasingly useful space … the ones that actually SURVIVE and become multi-trillion-dollar companies which benefit all of us MORE THAN ANY PHILANTHROPY DOES are those very few extremophile VERY HIGH growth companies which figure out how to actually really execute in order to actually deliver on the hype.

Sequester C as Life

Our niche is soils … specifically, we are interested in the ecologies of soils and that takes us into the realm of transciptomics and CRISPR and other things that might not typically be associated pure philanthropy that we are interested in. The POINT of the Soil Quality Laboratory philanthropy venture is to radically boost the healthfulness and productivity of soils for raising higher quality, healthier foods … but it’s also about all living matter, including the antimicrobials and other living things, found in soils that we [as humans] have not begun to understand or use … the point of quality in general is about fitness for use; the aim of the SQL venture is to make soil more fit, more productive for more valuable and healthier living soil ecoystems.

There are many who believe that taking CO2 out of the atmosphere is a laudable goal and it may be, but of course, this is not ONLY about carbon sequestration … it’s just that sequestering C as life is the best way to do carbon sequestration.

Taking CO2 from the atmosphere and sequestering it as mulch cover for soils that are transferred through a variety of practices … which might involve grazing herbivores … OR using herbivores like goats which can digest woody biomass … OR using mushrooms to digest woody biomass … with insects and a wide variety of burrowing animals transporting the carbonaceous residue deeper into the soil OR relying upon trees to or deeprooted perennials to vertically sequester the carbon … the point of soil quality LABORATORY is really about radically amping up the value of the life that is in the soil or on the top few feet of the soil surface. The lifeforms that we are after includes things like antibiotics … but antibiotics are only the tip of an incredibly large LIVING iceberg that has not yet been tapped.

Brainstorming the Future of Soil Microbiology

Given the nature of how LLM models are trained, looking through long AI-brainstormed lists, which are delivered by AI inference engines based on those trained models, helps us to think about the state of what conventional wisdom expects or would predict to happen in future research … these lists will not be ENTIRELY wrong, but if we want to be legitimately creative OR to ADD something of unique value to the conversation, we need to go for long walks or maybe do things in the garden and think about what is NOT on the list …

Here are STARTS of our working list on the future of soil microbiology … they are the cliche answers we get as result from a request of an AI assistant to brainstorm a listing of 250 topics that will like matter to at least some degree in future of soil microbiology research … the AI assistant does not seem to be able to complete its list of ALL 250 … but we can ask several times and learn something about how the inference engine works … or how/why it FAILS to work … our GOAL in understanding the FUTURE of soil microbiology is to approach this with sort of what we describe as the Mellanox founder’s mindset; in other words, we EXPECT that involvement in this venture will kill us, but we all have to die in some manner … this venture is what we will be working on when we die.
