Abstract

Future in the MakingJanuary 12 is the day when we are destined to make history in Cambridge, Massachusetts.After check-in, we had a 15-minute meditation under Otto’s instructions.We were brought together in Cambridge from Hainan, Huairou District of Beijing, and Tsinghua University. Amid soft music, Otto asked us in a calm voice to leave the outside world behind and focus on the inner world.We gathered in the co-creation domain at the bottom of U, beyond individuals, collectives and communities. Otto reminded us to focus on our inner feelings and listen to the sounds of nature that transcend time and space and connect our inner world with the future.In the morning, guided by two masters, we reviewed what we had learned over the four days at mit, including Prof. Thompson’s profound reflections on the American history and social and economic fractures, Prof. Pentland’s sharp insights into big data, social physics and predictability of human behavior, Peter’s stories about airborne radar during World War ii and the invention of the first commercial computer, Dewitt Jones’s explanation of how the mit spirit of combining hands and brain is embodied in the police car parking on the roof, Prof. ELA’s design thinking and story
