Onstage at TED2012, Peter Diamandis makes a case for
optimism -- that we'll invent, innovate and create ways to solve the
challenges that loom over us. "I’m not saying we don’t have our set of
problems; we surely do. But ultimately, we knock them down.”
Peter Diamandis runs the X Prize Foundation, which offers large
cash incentive prizes to inventors who can solve grand challenges like
space flight, low-cost mobile medical diagnostics and oil spill cleanup.
He is the chair of Singularity University, which teaches executives and
grad students about exponentially growing technologies.
