"Ability to execute on well known ideas/technologies that aren't your own isn't the same as being innovative. - Tom Golway"

"There's an old saying don't blame the messenger if the message is bad. With #Cryptocurency the original message is still valid, but the messengers are what's bad. - Tom Golway"

"The issue I have with most of what is written about the Metaverse is that the conventional wisdom narrows the focus on the Metaverse to the next increment to social media or a the next step beyond a Zoom call. Where's the vision?

Think beyond. When Boeing leverages a digital twin for airplane design/modeling, is that a form of the Metaverse? How about Da Vinci which is a robotic surgical system? Have you ever been on Flight of Passage at Disneyworld?

Conventional wisdom might say no, those are not Metaverse. I say, forget conventional wisdom and forget the social media use case for Metaverse. The use cases are there to extract value from the current state of Metaverse technology, but they are not within the scope of the current conversations."

"When the #COVID19Pandemic is over, the world needs to come together and create a unified vision for public health. What we consider our public health strategy lacks vision, agility and innovation and is in serious need of disruption. The societal pause is an opportunity to develop a new vision that is consistent with the requirements of a hyper-connected mobile society."

"COVID-19 represents the single greatest inflection point that global society has experienced. How we manage through this pandemic and its aftermath will impact the course of humanity for decades to come."

"Despite the hype, AI isn't a reality. AI is about machines acting spontaneously in the wake of Chaos, we're still at the point where we are trying to control what might be. Nature doesn't work that way. - Tom Golway 2021"

"An enabling force of the Internet is hyperconnectivity in the global community. The unintended consequence is that we are allowing tech to govern who we are; leading to society which is disconnected from our local communities. - Tom Golway 2020"

"In periods of economic transformation inequality of opportunity is an unintended consequence of an unrestrained focus on wealth creation vs. value creation. Governments have repeatedly failed at proactively establishing the required agility to govern through inflection points. - Tom Golway"

"We are in a period of disruptive change. Darwin points out that disruptive change requires an organism to evolve just to survive; but also enables opportunities to become a higher life form. Survival isn't good enough, change your DNA, become that higher life form."

"Simplistic gamification strategies applied to complex problems generally deliver unexpected results due to overlooked sensitive dependencies that can be leveraged to "game" the system. - Tom Golway 2020"

"Science seeks the undiscovered relying on current measurable knowledge. Philosophy seeks the undiscovered without relying on our current perception of baseline knowledge."

"If you look to improve your circumstances, first improve yourself, otherwise you will find yourself perpetually bounded. - Tom Golway"

"There is no such thing as an "out of the blue" invention. All new forms of innovation are derived from knowledge gain through previous innovation and the evolving needs of business and society.

In 2030 we will have technologies and solutions that most of us can not yet see, however in 2030 we will see the clear evolutionary link between innovation in 2020 and solutions in 2030."

"Accelerating progress requires building on foundational innovations, or as Bernard of Chartres stated - “standing on the shoulders of giants”. In the fractured society we live in, the lack of civil discourse makes it difficult to find a stable place where “we are carried aloft and elevated by the magnitude of the giants”. - Tom Golway"

"Science looks to define observable truths building on current measurable knowledge. As knowledge is expanded, we find that not all "truths" are immutable. It's the essence of science. - Tom Golway"

"Epidemiology is an ever evolving science since predictive models have significant sensitive dependencies on initial assumptions - Tom Golway"

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring, Bilbo Baggins cautions Frodo with these words. Or perhaps it’s not a caution but words of wisdom. In stepping onto the road that takes us through this journey we call life, we will face transformative change leading us away from our comfortable path. - Tom Golway"

"An issue with current data science methodologies is that the impact of contextual awareness is underestimated since the problem is much more complex. At times we incorrectly equate correlation with causation based on incomplete data or lack of understanding sensitive dependencies between data sets. - Tom Golway"

"Our life experiences shape who we are and how we think. Our life’s choices can create new experiences, further shaping us. Intellectual freedom is enabled by choosing to put ourselves on an unfamiliar path."
— Tom Golway

"AI cannot capitalize on the expertise of millions of people. Everyday there are small things that we experience which have contextual significance and contribute to how we think and create. This includes how we feel, our mood, and others that are non-measureable by sensors. I might be "old school" but what is described as AI today is little more than correlation without causation. Remember that the algorithms that drive the automation are developed by data scientists. The systems that run the algorithms are neither artificial nor intelligent, despite being created by highly intelligent people (who are very real)."
