Solve for X: Neal Stephenson on getting big stuff done

Solve for X is a forum to encourage and amplify technology-based moonshot thinking and teamwork.

For thousands of years the imagination of storytellers has been a guiding light for people trying to change the world. In the last decade or two science fiction has almost fallen behind the work of technologists and entrepreneurs. For the sake of a more interesting tomorrow, we need to get the proverbial horse back out in front of the cart with our imagination professionals building a vision of the future to inspire the builders of the new world.

Neal Stephenson is the author of the three-volume historical epic “The Baroque Cycle” (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World) and the novels Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age, Snow Crash, and Zodiac.

“I saw the best minds of my generation creating spam filters.”
- Neal Stephenson

A modest question or two or three…

Q: Why aren’t we energy independent and running our economy on 100% clean energy?
A: It is not a matter of technical capacity. Its a matter of public will, political will, and financial will.

Q: If we were energy independent and running our economy on 100% clean energy, how would our lives be different?

Q: What are we doing today to make our country energy independent and run our economy on 100% clean energy?

Q: Who wins if we are NOT energy independent and running our economy on 100% clean energy?

Q: Who wins if we are energy independent and running our economy on 100% clean energy?

I invite you to ask more questions, the bigger the better.

I invite you to ask great big scarey questions.

I invite you to think big, dream big. “Let’s go to the moon” kind of big dreams.

I invite you to see the world filled with solutions to some of our biggest problems. And then take steps to help give birth to one or more of those solutions.

The world is waiting for you to live your passion. To live your passion take these steps:

1. Ask big questions.
2. Find a big problem/need that either makes your heart sing or makes you really angry.
3. Do what it takes to become part the solution to that problem/need.
