I'm Nuno, and at age 46, I've decided to terminate my *serious career*.

Why?

I love learning. I love working. I love creating *meaningful* value.

But the world got to a point where NONE of this is truly possible within the prevailing systems.

The root problem?

>>The dominant THINKING paradigm!


I found this sentiment is shared by many who have a sense of URGENCY that we must go BEYOND the *Data-driven*, *Bayesian-driven*, *Scientism-driven* and *Optimization-driven* understanding of the world.

That includes:

1/ AI SCIENTISTS who are seeking innovative ways of thinking to make sense of the world (...beyond the *Bayesian-driven* approach)

2/ MISFIT THINKERS who crave to explore the subjective, emergent dimensions of reality (...beyond the *Data-driven* paradigm)

3/ PORTFOLIO MANAGERS who are looking for unconventional ways to navigate market uncertainty (...beyond the *Optimization-driven* tactics)

4/ INSATIABLY CURIOUS QUANTS who want a deeper understanding of both risk and uncertainty (...beyond the *Scientism-driven* models)

5/ LEGACY-DRIVEN ENTREPRENEURS who want to build products addressing today's crises (...beyond the *Tech-driven* shiny objects)

6/ COACHES DISILLUSIONED WITH THEIR INDUSTRY who seek transformative frameworks of personal growth (...beyond the *Mechanistic-driven* goal setting)

>>Does ANY of these DEEPLY resonate with you?
