Seeding a New Golden Age - Visakan Veerasamy

Visakan Veerasamy is a kindred spirit who is on mission is to
build the greatest social graph of friendly, ambitious nerds that
the world has ever seen. He's been studying the history of how
great ideas come into being, how scenes are born and maintained,
and is focused on using the knowledge he's gleaned from the
exploration to bring together people ho are working on a new
golden age for humanity. We talk about the attention economy, the
art of becoming someone, and the version of localism that's
possible in an increasingly global world. Support the scientific
