From the Thiel Fellowship website:
“The ideal candidate has ideas that simply cannot wait. She or he wants to change the world and has already started to do it in some fashion. We want fellows who dream big and have clear plans [...]”
I’m interested in what you have in mind for your Thiel grant—some singularity-promoting project? Have you already done some work in that direction?
I have a lot of ideas. Mainly education reform and media curation and community building, but also some ideas for the application of environmental technologies. But, currently lack business knowledge. Working on that right now (I’m reading the Personal MBA and Getting Things Done. 4 steps to epiphany is on my list. I’m hoping that if I got the scholarship, I would be directed to mentors and resources that would help me pick up the business information I lack). I will be making a post soon about my ideas in more depth shortly. They will be imbedded within one of those “how can I help?” style posts.
