Ilya Belikin

Posit: Digital technology is shaping who we are. It is the medium through which we work, learn, and connect. It could augment the best in us or diminish our humanities. My name is Ilya, I’m a founder of the Posit Community network. I work at the intersection of Design x Tech, which is the intersection of Humanities and Computing for 20 years. I want to make sense of it and learn what next. How we, humans, will emerge as an intelligent society augmented by our technology? What is next in human-computer symbiosis? We are creating this series with Arvind - my friend, a rehabbing banker, a geek, a champion for sustainability and a better world. Join me and Arvind for (roughly) 15 min and (also roughly) meaningful conversations which will often include members of our global community. See our place at http://Posit.place to learn more, support what we do, and join the conversations.

    Dear Hong Kong

    Dear Hong Kong. Even Hongkongers often do not realise how big of a role diversity of cultures played in developing Hong Kong. 113 Bonham Tea Shop project. The noises that we did at the beginning are noises of the joy of drinking delicious Chinese tea. We poured red, white, and puer during the conversation. Do what you do well. Perseverance, consistency, and presence. Focus vs diversity of a personal journey. Value of seeing the links between different domains. Three dimensions of "Dear Hong Kong," project: 1) Learning about Hong Kong soul. 2) Learning about the world – travelling around the world. 3) Learning about ourselves. In conversations, you can emphasize. A story from Eritrea. Your situation does not define who you are. Freedom to choose your work. We can learn from our opposite. Right and wrong places. Failure is a way to learn. Mother's Choice. Consistency of kindness for 40 years. Impact Hong Kong. 185 friends housed. What makes somebody local? Hongkonger is not defined by race. Expat vs Immigrant. Capacity to face the complexity of the world leads to better solutions. Less is more. Yes is more. Making tea. Focus on a problem: while the problem still exists you still have a good reason to continue. Life wants to grow. The Mythical Man-Month by Fred Brooks, released in 1975. Agile. A sapling needs to be alive. To be a teacher you have to have hands-on life experiences. It is so easy to build castles in our brain. Alexis Niki, Alexander Technique. If you want to achieve something in life, do not chase it. Education system might create people who live in their brains. Accepting diversity is redefining how to learn. Comfortable in not knowing. Innovation and Education are structurally the same. (We end up organising a meetup on this topic and developing a workshop for educators on how to leverage Design Thinking). Interview with Grant Williams, a traditional investor. There are many valid realities. Forget about the ego. Respect for others translates to acceptance to yourself. Hong Kong is an incredible place where you can grow. GalleriesGal – Art in Hong Kong. The soil of a place. A journey of connections. FromAFuture – improbable conference. Plant a seed and let go of your vision. Step back. The person who disagrees with you could help you to learn a lot. — Our guest Oskar Valles, founder of Dear Hong Kong. Ilya Belikin was making tea.
