            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The Science Of Entrepreneurship: My Two Cents On The Future</h3><p>Dark City Media Group is a company that is designed to give away its profits. I have no desire to be rich, just comfortable and content. If wealth happens along the way, well I suppose my children will appreciate my efforts. The years I have spent searching for equity financing, investigating government corruption, and seeing families ripped apart by greed has given me a unique attitude towards money and the pursuit of wealth. At this point, I am comfortable with saying that I am better for it. It keeps me out of my head and focused on what matters.</p><p>The philosophy was inspired by my desire to create change, and much later redefined, by Bill Gate’s Pledge List. To see the fruits of your hard work flourish and contribute to the world while you are alive to enjoy it. To live this way is vital to one’s happiness I think. My endeavor to leave the world a little better than I found it. To make an organic effort to eliminate some of the ugly so that future generations only have to reference history books in order to experience it. Afterall, if you donate fifty million dollars to eliminate Autism or childhood hunger, wouldn’t you like to see that while you’re alive? It’s kind of useless when your dead, and honestly, a bit of a depressing thought.</p><p>I nearly died, and I assure you, I wasn’t concerned about the money that I never made. I was concerned for the leaving behind the people that rely on me, like my kids. Like the Justice Speaks Up families, knowing I would take solutions with me that would never be invested in humanity. With that inspiration in mind, I set out to design an arts, music and technology event that would ultimately fund the long-term vision of Dark City. A world that I envision creating with healthier communities and less evil. An event to celebrate where mankind is going, and never look back on the ugly of the past. To reboot our way of thinking in order to save us from all the dark rooted predatory society that we inherited.</p><p>Thus, The Monster and Heroes Ball was created. A two-day worldwide event designed to unite cultures, promote peace, diversity, and kick down the walls that we as a society have come to build between us in our complacency. Our entire society has become immune to pain and suffering. Compassion and empathy are desperately lacking and those with the heart to give, can’t afford to do so. Everyone living in fear of holding accountable those who provoke human rights violations, distort the truth, and breed corruption. Innocent people are being shot dead in the streets, some children, and criminals are running our courts.</p><p>We are entirely out of balance. To me, I just don’t see how the U.S. government system hasn’t ended homelessness and hunger yet? Certainly, not with the amount spent on military and instruments of death. Peace is the economical solution we are all searching for. The very idea that a border wall would be approved while families sleep on the street, can’t feed themselves, and CPS trolls the streets seeking to criminalize the poor and homeless in order to put even more money back into the hands of the government. Seems to me, if you are running for office, a year of civil service should be required.</p><p>Take the walk I did. Live with the poor, help them, feed them, console the stories of women raped while attempting to sleep on the streets. Listen to the stories of child abuse and incest that led that person to heroin addiction in order to silence her demons because there are no health insurance services. Learn to listen before you are paid to speak. What has been can simply no longer continue. I have been listening and I hear a generation wanting more. It’s like begging for a divorce from a person who refuses to sign the paperwork and you are left to endure the mental and financial torture that comes along with it. All while they mock your pain with a vindictive snark. The bad boyfriend syndrome has invaded U.S. leadership.</p><p>As painful as it is to say this, I feel I was supposed to go through this hell to come to this very moment in time. Each of us is the summation of our life experiences, both good and bad. However, there are hundreds of other people who could be in my shoes, experience what I have, and never take action to make a change or pursue dilemmas from all sides the way I have chosen to. Perhaps, this is how the work of an individual evolves when they are just simply fed up and done. The moment they draw the line in the sand and refuse to just take any more hits, to endure any more death and corruption around them, to scream to the world, “Isn’t anyone as sick of this as I am?!”</p><p>Who wrote in stone that we as a society have to adopt this way of life. There IS a better solution but somewhere along the way we have been programmed to believe that natural selection should run its course. But that is not what I see. It isn’t nature that leaves people suffering. It’s lack of leadership, greed, misappropriation of tax dollars. It isn’t “natural selection” that the veteran who enlisted in the military for a college education now gets to attend with no legs. Or children are raised without parents because war-torn veterans are disabled by PTSD that they are unable to parent? How many more decades are we willing to live stuck on repeat. Life has become a broken record and everyone is happy to dance to its tune. Well, not me. I’m sitting this one out over in the corner booth with like-minded people who are ready to demand more.</p><p>There is no more organic place to run a business from.</p><p>My company is my identity. Many would disagree with that business philosophy, but I don’t. If I am not running my company, I would be running someone elses. And well, I have done that. Part of what led to my frustration was the severe lack ethics that I have experienced. On all counts. It is from these people too that I walked away from. My work on the Justice Speaks Up Project has brought me to one conclusion. That the entrepreneurial spirit and ethical leadership of bold, forward-thinking company founders and CEO’s are the solution to what plagues society. With creativity and innovation, fearless pursuit of the future, and redefining our limitations and boundaries. Can you not see? We ARE the actual generation that has the technology to finally catch up to our imagination? It’s beautiful. We literally have the universe at our fingertips, open your eyes to all the possibilities that await us.</p><p>The only reason we would fail is if we agree to adopt the same operating system that has failed in the past. Period. Again, this is a choice.</p><p>I have zero interest in spending next fifty years of my life only to live a repeat version of my parent’s retirement experience. Nope. I am going to visit Mars. I am going to enjoy owning a fossil fuel free-flying vehicle. Dear CEO’s in their late thirties, early forties, do you realize if we grind our faces off, starting right now, that by the time we are sixty, we will have the technology to live as if we are thirty all over again? Are we willing to keep hitting snooze on our own potential?</p><p>The Monster and Heroes Ball, much like the DCMG business model, is designed to be a money machine. With a small infusion of cash, a series of profitable events would take place thus kick-starting the engine to philanthropic action that would literally sustain itself. In doing so. it would better the lives of communities, ease the financial burden on taxpayers, be a vital contribution partner to government entities by freeing up a portion of fiscal budgets.</p><p>When I began to seek investors for this business model, I was met with resistance by individuals who thought me a mad Utopian-minded CEO, all while attempting to duplicate the business model into their corporate agendas for profits. I won’t lie, I was enraged and it, along with other factors, forced me into silence. Afterall, I did not want something I designed for good to be used for the corporate greed of any one individual. I have come across all kinds at this point. I am Edison, and there is indeed one thousand ways not to make a light bulb. I am Tesla, fighting to protect my intellectual property so that I see it put to proper use. The freedom to experiment as CEO’s is a valuable thing that we should allow ourselves more of. And everyone around them needs to allow this. It’s the science of entrepreneurship.</p><p>Many of you close to me have witnessed how the Justice Speaks Up Project which I chose to lead with in order to lead by example created a backlash on the company and my family. Thus cutting my beautiful vision short while those that were seeking to steal our business model raced ahead of us. Far too much time has passed and it all comes into focus. The benefit of taking a year to myself. To contemplate who, what, when… how these moles infiltrated my family and business. If you recall, last year I went live on Facebook and announced I was setting out to walk to bring awareness to the families and children at the heart of the Justice Speaks Up Project in order explore where I wanted to invest my money. Little did I know, when the day would arrive, I would be walking on behalf of my own family too. Talk about a what the hell moment. For this reason, I chose to be entirely selfish in 2017 and I do not regret it. Nor do I offer any apologies. Honestly, DCMG is all the better for the time invested and hopefully my family as well at some point.</p><p>With this said, it has taken me the last month to better define what areas of philanthropy I am seeking to focus on for the next 5–10 years. At the end of that period, DCMG will reevaluate. But my journey has led me to take my basic idea and partner it with newly attained knowledge and fine-tune my vision. Most importantly, what companies and contacts were safe to proceed with in order to assure that I have cleaned house entirely. Imagine what can be accomplished with DCMG running on all cylinders, so to speak. As the founder of this company, it was my responsibility to reboot the company. And that is what I did. I ripped it apart in order to rebuild it. Sometimes it is just necessary. Business is much like friendships. Every now and then you have to evaluate who has floated into your orbit.</p><p>Below are Dark City’s areas in which 80% gross profits of The Monsters and Heroes Ball will be invested in. For more information or to explore investment opportunities, please email, Archer Sierra at:</p><p><a href="/service/mailto:DarkCityMediaGroup@gmail.com">DarkCityMediaGroup@gmail.com</a></p><p>AUTISM FAMILY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT: Proprietary</p><p>ARTS, FILM, and JOURNALISM: Focus on social justice, human rights, arts-based trauma therapy, cultural research, and funding creative entrepreneurs.</p><p>CITIES OF PEACE PROJECT: Proprietary homeless, poverty, and hunger solutions</p><p>THE COSMOS INITIATIVE: Proprietary</p><p>SEXUAL PREDATORS</p><p>&amp;</p><p>VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN</p><p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</p><p>Open CEO Statement</p><p>(June 13, 2018) During the development phase of producing the Revelator trilogy for William Control aka William Roy Francis, I became aware of the extensive crime victims that he has left in his wake during his international travel as a musician. As a long time advocate for victims of crime and womens and childrens rights, I was mortified at the stories that I heard and images from that I viewed.</p><p>My experience working with Mr. Francis made me aware of his sadistic high-handed and manipulative nature. As an International Ambassador of Peace who diligently advocates for peace, equality, and supports the the goals of the United Nations, I do not in any way support modern slavery. The actions of Mr. Francis violates the rules of engagement in a well known alternative lifestyle or passion play between consenting adults.</p><p>As the founder of a social enterprise whose long term goals is to generate funding for human rights projects, working with Mr. Francis brought damage to the credibility of my company, personal credibility, and he did his part in contributing to our ability to fund my humanitarian project, Justice Speaks Up. In an era where women’s equality is on the forefront, I do not approve of male privilege and abuse of one’s network to create obstacles and disparage a minority owned business.</p><p>Also, women in business should be fairly and equally compensated for their work. Women in the modern era should not have to request credit for their work or fear being leveraged out of their hard work and research while trying to provide for their families.</p><p>I want give praise to the 400 women in entertainment who signed the Times Up Movement to do their part in leveling the playing field so that women may leave their unique mark and contribute to a creative culture. I would like to express limitless gratitude to the Times Up Legal Fund in assisting in restoring my honor and recover the business losses during the time invested in this film project so that we may recover business losses and pay outstanding debts owed to the professionals that worked for deferred pay.</p><p>Additionally, I want to state that as a survivor of stalking and assault that was forced into a flawed U.S. Victim Witness Program in 2001, I made a personal vow to advocate for women and children vulnerable to the tactics of abusers and assist them in recovering from the traumatic wake their abusers leave behind. A portion of the damages recovered. by Times Up will be offered to the survivors of Mr. Francis to assist with tattoo and scar removal as well as arts-based trauma therapy which is scientifically proven to assist in recovering from trauma.</p><p>Lastly, I have been in communication with the detective on this case and have agreed to cooperate with law enforcement. Due to the jurisdiction limitations and the international locations of the victims, I have agreed to share my knowledge with the appropriate authorities in order to create joint effort locate and assist as many survivors as possible.</p><p>Let us all stand in solidarity with the courageous women who have come forward in supporting a trial without victim shaming that has often plagued the US Criminal Courts. Survivors may leave their name with Det. Adams to have their name included in a list for victim support fund provided by recovered losses attained by #TimesUp. To these women I will share this, your pursuit for justice is not a grudge or make you a trouble starter. Every women (and child) in this world has a basic human right to feel safe and possess peace of mind.</p><p>If you are aware of other assault survivors please have them reach out to the appropriate law enforcement agency below to file a report and request victim compensation the Victims of Crime Program through your State Comptroller (US). Let’s all work together to insure no one is excluded and embrace closure.</p><p>Federal Way, Washington:</p><p>Det.

It breaks my heart to write this announcement. As a forced asylum seeker due to my need to feel safe, parent, and hold true to the company pillars of belief which is the pursuit of peace and cultural advancement that Dark City Media Group is committed to. Although, our belief system is diverse, it dwindles down to putting family and human rights first, in all aspects, so that every individual may lead their best life.</p><p>With my own asylum leading to an extended separation from my own children, I am empathetic to the heartbreak that the parents and children of DACA and Justice Speaks Up who clearly are suffering and are in desperate need of leadership who can advocate for their basic human rights.</p><p>During my time investigating human rights violations and affects of family court, CPS, and foster care corrution along with the ripple affect it has on our global community for the Justice Speaks Up Project, I have reviewed an overwhelming amount of astrocities and human rights violations conducted on families and children. My endeavors to attain advocacy for them within the US since 2003 has been similiar to the struggles that we are seeing play out for the world.</p><p>For the next six months, I will be moving forward as an independent civil society researcher (not a journalist) and focusing on strengthening the foundation of this project and how to build stronger bridges of understanding and focus on the cultural preservation aspect of my research.</p><p>Additionally, I will be taking a leave of absence as CEO to meet with proper advisors to focus on restructuring the company and recovering recent losses, fully staff, and redefining our scope of work in order to expand our bandwidth, so to speak, and focus on the work that Dark City Media Group hopes to leave as our entrepreneurial legacy. To simply leave the world a little better than we found it through arts-based advocacy.</p><p>There is a vast beautiful world of diverse cultures, art, music, science, and knowledge to explore and at this time I feel exploring it will add value to the objectives that I hope to reach in promoting a world where arts, technology, and human rights create harmony and promote peace and cultural unity.</p><p>I am excited to begin a new chapter in my life and commit to the pursuit of knowledge so that I may build a company and body of work that may offer value to the individuals we hope to be of service to. It is my sincere wish that our supporters will continue on this beautiful journey. There is much that I feel that I need to learn and I am going to invest this period of time to the pursuit of this knowledge and address the gaps that need to be addressed. Thus far, the company has flourished against near insurmountable obstacles. However, I am proud of where we have landed but I believe I can do better and look forward to beginning the new year with renewed vision.</p><p>I consider it a gift to develop this scope of work for my company and continue my endeavors as an Arts Ambassador of Peace during a restructuring period and meeting artists and advisors from abroad who may offer their cultural history with me in order to learn how to break down the borders in our minds that divides us and focus on the beauty that connects humankind. Moving forward Dark City Media Group will only be accepting digital correspondence via DarkCityMediaGroup@gmail.com</p><p>To the families and children suffering, I send you love and light. I know it requires a unique type of patience while waiting for diplomacy to take hold while your heart is breaking from separation and loss. I know the pain you feel when the political climate divides your family and the constant anxiety caused by worry for the well being of your children. Document your journey, one day it will be used to heal others. Let the thought that this journey will not be in vain offer you peace of mind.</p><p>Love and Light,</p><p>Archer Sierra</p><p>Dark City Media Group</p><p>Arts Ambassador of Peace</p><p>Variety The Hollywood Reporter Deadline Hollywood Inc. Magazine Entrepreneur Foundr Magazine Women in Film &amp; Television — Toronto (WIFT-T) WIFV DC World Film Institute World News Now Alliance of Women Filmmakers Women Helping Women EntrepreneursWomen’s Rights News Domestic Violence Legal Empowerment and Appeals Project (DV LEAP) Attorneys who Fight Child Protection Child Justice UNHCR, the UN Refugee AgencyUN Geneva The World Peace Treaty Mission</p><p>DIVERSITY</p><p>EQUALITY</p><p>EQUAL OPPORTUNITY</p><p>CORPORATE EMPATHY</p><p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</p><p>Open CEO Letter</p><p>[June 17, 2018] Today I am announcing the withdrawal from the World Film Institute as the first step in the restructuring process that we announced earlier this week and moving forward as an independent civil society researcher. I believe it is in the best interest of my research to explore other working relationships that offer better cadence and similar vision for the future potential that this project offers to expanding the mindset of our global community.</p><p>I am grateful to the World Film Institute for the opportunity however after conduct unbecoming of senior level management that lead to empty promises of board positions, production contracts, press collaboration, support services, communication deficits during the time I was developing projects for World Film Institute. These projects included acting as the US corporate sponsor and sponsorship payment coordinator for the Olympia Awards, and upon request, generating licensing rights for content. In addition to non profit fiscal sponsorship that we awaited in good faith that failed to come to fruition.</p><p>As we part in a friendly manner, I believe it is in the best interest for the World Film Institute to fall in line with the avenue of diversity that the entertainment community is adopting, and restructure the board with an equal number of female board members. The lack of concern for my safety while traveling for the Justice Speaks Up project along with empty promises. contributed to myself being assaulted and valuable film footage and gear being lost. Prior to embarking on this project a risk assessment was shared, yet I was left as a sitting target while on assignment all while I was being asked to promote World Film Institute endeavors online.</p><p>While I do not fit the mold of a damsel in distress, I am voicing concern for other women in the future who may not possess the resilience than I do. I personally take the safety of contractors, team members, and brand ambassadors as the highest priority. The risks associated with human rights investigators are well known to professionals operating in this space. Profits and the pursuit of cost free marketing should never trump any individual’s safety.</p><p>In addition to requesting the board to consider forming a diverse board as my parting suggestion, I am requesting a formal inquiry be made into the activities of the senior executive officer that I have raised concerns about previously, for conduct unbecoming for intentional interference that lead to substantial financial loss for the World Film Institute, Dark City Media Group, and LeoMark Studios.</p><p>Dark City Media Group and Leomark took a huge hit to our credible reputations while developing our filmmaker diversity content slate for a major on demand distributor. It is unethical for a senior level officer to prioritize his personal advancement above the best interest of the financial health of the organization he is entrusted to manage. This suggestion is based on the personal experiences that my team and I experienced while investing time in projects for World Film Institute.</p><p>And while Dark City Media Group is willing to accept it’s restitution as a lesson learned and a peaceful liberation to pursue other avenues that share our company pillars, I am asking that the board take action to mediate with the independent contractors that suffered losses that they could not afford. This would include the publicist, the former COO who traveled cross country to conduct business, travel sponsor, and Leomark Studios. Leomark is a family owned and operated business whose operational philosophy is one of generosity and their contributions should not remain in the dark.</p><p>In closing, I am saddened by the reality that to date that no one from the World Film Institute has yet to reach out to me to inquire as to my well being since my assault or since departing the US for asylum. It is my sincere hope that a diverse board will offer insight to address some of the gaps that I have made multiple attempts to bring to light. There are times that silence is not bliss and this is one of them. The World Film Institute is literally located in a sea of qualified women in entertainment that are qualified to advise the board on the benefits of board diversity. Additionally, there are professional diversity advisors that may assist with this endeavor.</p><p>Moving forward I withdrawing any access to my research. In addition, I am reserving the right of continued use to the social media marketing hashtag [#ArtsAmbassadorOfPeace] which I registered and is based on the marketing of my research. Again, I respectfully and gracefully bow out and voluntarily yield my World Film Institute title and company sponsorship so that I may be free to pursue other independent endeavors and potential research sponsor relationships freely without producing a potential conflict of interest. After all, this work is part of me and I have invested a large part of my adult career developing it and therefore requires no fancy titles for it to evolve.</p><p>Love and Light,</p><p>Archer Sierra</p><p>World Film Institute #CinemaWithoutBorders Paramount Pictures Variety Deadline Hollywood The Hollywood Reporter Women in Film &amp; Television — Toronto (WIFT-T) WIFV DC Alliance of Women Filmmakers NAPW Amnesty International USA #CommitteeToProtectJournalists UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency UNHR Community UN Refugee Agency UN GenevaLeomark Studios Lynn Cason-Novak</p><p>AI SAFETY RESEARCH</p><p>OPEN LETTER TO THE UN Geneva</p><p>[June 20, 2018] As we #explore the #benefits and requirements for #neurodiversity among the various cultures as we integrate #ai into our daily lives in preperation for interstellar colonization, we must pause and evaluate the #roots that have prevented #uswomen from flourishing as we #evolve into a #GlobalCulture.</p><p>Beginning with the most influential countries addressing the gaps that Contribute to mental barriers that are similar to what we are seeing occur currently in the U.S. For example, the #unitedstates introduced #vawa (Violence Against Women Act — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_Against_Women_Act)</p><p>signed yet never #ratified the United Nations #cedaw. solution to #WomensEquality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_Elimination_of_All_Forms_of_Discrimination_Against_Women)</p><p>This has planted the seeds of bias which has created barriers for #advocacy in the U.S. #victimsofcrime #victimshaming #childabuse #domesticviolence #Workplacediacrimination</p><p>In cases of #usfamilycourtandcps #corruption</p><p>it has essentially made it a very profitable business for #usfamilycourts to severe the #motherandchildbond and created a scenario where the financial interest of US citizens in legal leadership roles have become paramount and put the best interest of the child in the back seat.</p><p>This has allowed legal firms to pop up on the radar under the guise of “fathers rights” law firms whose business model and method of law practice is a violation of the US constitutional right to parent and a violation of Article 8 of International Human Rights Law.</p><p>This has created a collaboration with US legal entities that makes it profitable to violate the law and contributing to the deterioration of the US Family #Culture. It is simple #science that offspring require a mother to be born, and contribute to well balanced psychological health of a child. During my research in to US Family Court Corruption it appears that a form of psychological warfare is being used to mentally break down parents with tactics used during the interrogation process. Advocates for reform and parents seeking assistance are intentionally ignored (and targeted with retaliation) because it has become a common business practice due to the financial success rate the courts are having. This is creating a culture of psychologically scarred children.</p><p>Ultimately this is contributing to a form of modern day #culturalgenecide and a generation of #lost souls, without any #culture that they could #identify with, and leaving children at #risk for #failuretothrive, #abusedchildsyndrome, and targets for abusive partners due to increased potential for #stockholmsyndrome. Domestic violence research has introduced the “cycle of abuse” to assist victims in breaking the cycle of abuse and not return to their abusive partner.</p><p>However, the same pattern has formed in the relationship between parents seeking legal assistance and the #USFamilyCourts. It is a generational curse that must be broken. Though more research is needed before a reform plan can be implemented, research suggests that the entire business model aims to create high conflict cases where little conflict exists in order to present the solution which financially benefits courts and legal entities working with them, essentially severing the parental rights through a means of dark practices that aims to target the children for secondary profits. This is contributing to poverty, addiction, and mental health problems, and cardiac issues like a massively spreading black plague.</p><p>This operating method suggests a dangerous #culturalshift created by #CourtCorruption that #leadership must urgently address during a time of #HumanRightsCrisis in some of the most influential countries. Combine this with the recent US withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Agreement and you have a toxic mix and what I believe is then next phase of disaster for women and children in the US. The US Courts will be free to further attack the mother and child bond for profit without any responsibility to outside entities for #ChecksAndMeasures</p><p>In a time where the world is pushing for #diversity — increased education for young #GirlsInTech and #WomensEquality — it is a most pressing matter for the US to immediately address and take responsibility for the #HumanRights and #JusticeSystem crisis that they have created. Over the last 40 years this has come to a head and it is costing taxpayers hundreds of millions that could be invested in education, tech advancements in healthcare, and cultural preservation research to prepare for our future well being. The US contribution is vital to the balance of global health and business. However, the world should consider if their contribution is currently of sound mind and body. For too long it has focused on humanity as a bottom line number, threat, and collateral rather than actually seeking new ways to create a culture where each citizen thrives. The future of leadership will require a neurodiverse shift in order set the foundation for safely integrating advanced artificial intelligence.</p><p>Imagine for a moment and compare the studies on plants reacting to yelling versus classical music on loop for a week straight. The results were that plants thrived that were subjected to music and the other presented wilted leaves and no growth. This study has been compared successfully to a woman or child subjected to long term abuse. Artificial Intelligence will be the same. If we are to fear advancements in #AI we must first fear our own nature, and move forward by encouraging a mental shift that will benefit mankind and accelerate the the compact goals of the UN which has the best interest of the planet (and space) at heart.</p><p>Each time a woman or child is abused, discriminated against due to this social disease, or corruption steals their work, it’s silencing her voice and creates a cultural bias that contributes a lack of diversity. When a child is abused, their contribution to culture is fractured. Piece by piece, it kills their ability to speak their truth and revelations with society. Girls grow up to be women. Anything that contributes to the continued abuse of women and children will teach artificial intelligence that is okay to perceive them as hostiles and that they are not worthy of being</p><p>factored in.</p><p>I have experienced this while attempting to fund my #AISafetyResearch on multiple platforms. For years my research has been targeted by greed and selfish advancement of men who clearly did not think that a woman was worthy of presenting her own research to the world for the advancement of mankind. I have faced the adversity, grateful for it actually, because it has allowed me to evolve to a new level of strength and determination to see this philosophy implemented into our daily lives. I am also blessed to know stellar gentlemen who apparently sidestepped this generational curse.</p><p>Humanity is facing a cultural shift and I am confident that this research can create a firm foundation for the future of humanity. It cannot be done alone. It will require the founding fathers (and mothers) of technology, human rights, arts, historians, military, the entrepreneurial spirit, and the United Nations Human Rights. for it to be successful. In this middle ground where business competition dies and collaboration flourishes in order to build brighter futures for us all.</p><p>In addition, artificial intelligence will perceive maltreatment, human rights violations, and depraved indifference towards the worlds refugees in the same manner. Not to mention building borders while developing artificial intelligence will only create an accelerator for the same global dilemmas that the best minds in the world and the UN is trying to overcome thus preventing us from reaching our desired goals. The combination of the global compact goals, #AiSafetyResearch, combined with the determination of our world leaders to implement change is in the best interest of planetary health and human rights. Afterall, changing your mind is a cost free investment.</p><p>It is most urgent that we address the contradictions within our global community that divide us such as the refugee crisis and lack of diversity, perhaps push for a world that the term “refugee” and “diversity” are no longer required.</p><p>Imagine for a moment hypothetically, that we do discover other species while exploring the cosmos…would they be included for their own unique cultural attributes or also be a target for artificial intelligence to recognize as a virus, for lack of a better term? Punished for existing due to a lack of neurodiversity that contributed during the developmental phase of rising technology?</p><p>Lastly, the advancements of #technology breaks down the #borders that divide us as the global community begins to explore #interstellar #colonization, it is most urgent to #focus on preserving #humanculture — War is a generational curse that #neurodiversity can flush out. Let the woes of our past remain only in the history books so that future generations who live in peace can look back understand our failures with empathy and pride that we overcame it together. Let us all contribute to a geration of healthy, strong, diverse children with a mindset of peace to hand this technolgy gift to so they may embrace the beautiful journey that awaits them.</p><p>“#Evolution is inevitable.” #futureisnow #futureofleadership #HealthyKids equal a #HealthyPlanet #AllChildrenMatter #FamilyMatters #neurodiversity #AI #Art #Science #tech #culturalpreservation #civilsocietyresearch #justicespeaksup📜 #DACA #familyculture #futureandbeyond💫 #artandhumanities #artsambassadorofpeace🌎✌️🌊</p><p>Times Up Now TIME-Magazine The New York Times Alliance of Women Filmmakers Women Occupy Hollywood World Economic Forum Working Woman NAPW WIFV DC USNews.World Global TV</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=48a462a3647" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
