In the modern world, thriving is no longer merely survival. It’s making things better, optimizing, for not just ourselves but for everyone. There are millions of people pursuing this goal.

In order to succeed, one must think outside what they know, what’s normal and obvious and frequent. Improving macroeconomics requires an understanding of the past, and the global finance system and how states interact with each other. The effects of positive improvements, even slight ones, has the potential to impact all of humanity.

To build or create something new, something valuable, requires a perspective beyond the daily minutia that make up our lives, or perhaps a more critical introspection of it. Novel unique things have the potential to inspire, to effect further positive change.

We have the ability to pursue these higher objectives because we have inherited a world built upon the work and sacrifice of those before us. When we contribute to this collective goal of changing the world, for the better, for all of us, we insert ourselves into the broader legacy of humanity: the ability to adapt, change, grow, and ultimately, to create. What world will we create?
