Solutions
- Solving Geopolitics - based on Decoding Geopolitics, applying thinktank knowledge to an execution arm based on open source collaboration. For example, for China, we propose open source design instead of invading Taiwan. For the USA, we propose open source design so everyone pays only for value.
