Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

This Cornerstones Workshop looked at the two parties of a startup transaction: the investor and entrepreneurs. Raising capital for most startup founders is a tricky, potentially stressful undertaking. Knowing some common practices – and insider’s tips – can make the journey much less painful. We will give a brief overview of how angel investing works. On the entrepreneurs side, we will discuss key strategies for obtaining angel investments and developing positive relationships with angel investors. On the investor side, we’ll go inside the angel investors' mind to highlight what they commonly look for when investing in startups and how angels can improve their odds of having successful outcomes. About the Speakers Jeremy Bauman is Managing Partner of New Dominion Angels, a Washington DC based investors group that has invested ~$12M into 25+ early stage tech startups. He is also a Lead Consultant in the Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation Practice at the World Bank Group, where his work focuses on developing early stage capital markets.

Jordan Levine, a Partner at Dynamic Ideas, discusses analytics for national security at a DEF Washington DC event. In addition to his depth of knowledge, Jordan developed an analytics training product that is being piloted under an AFWERX SBIR contract for the entire DoD. Here's a description of that course: ----------------- You can't look an algorithm in the eye. Because you can't look an algorithm in the eye, leaders must know how to inspect and audit algorithms. We have developed our course with three areas of focus: Learn from real case studies - We demonstrate the state of the art of analytics capabilities to your organization by investigating actual implemented use cases. Rely on a proven framework for analytics success - We equip you to translate these proven implementations to your own day jobs by reinforcing a common accessible framework. Present strategies for avoiding common pitfalls We enable you to identify and mitigate the common failure modes encountered by organizations in the implementation of these techniques. Ultimately, we equip you with the skills to successfully run and manage an analytics endeavor. No coding required. Anyone in the National Security sector who wants to understand algorithms and how to inspect and audit them to understand at a deeper level what they can provide especially as it relates to analytics. ----------------- Jordan Levine is a partner at Dynamic Ideas, an organization committed to spreading powerful ideas in the areas of analytics, operations research, and their applications. He focuses his energy on creating digitally accessible training and education products that make analytics accessible to leaders. After serving as a communications officer in the United States Marine Corps, Jordan spent seven years at McKinsey & Company. The latter half of his time, he served as the global learning and development lead for analytics. There, he architected a strategy and oversaw a learning team that engaged ~4,000 McKinsey colleagues per year at the executive, manager, and technical talent levels. Key milestones included the creation of a cohort of 1,000+ ‘Analytics Translators’ and the development of novel approaches to on-board and integrate analytics technical talent as well as assess their technical competence in a business environment. Prior to leading analytics learning, he was an engagement manager in the operations practice with a focus in supply chain management.
