◄ Episode Description
One of the core tenets of our mission is finding ways to preserve human knowledge through any event, no matter how catastrophic or long term. Our culture is built on the cumulative knowledge of humanity. Losing our knowledge and understanding of the past is the only way to prevent history from repeating. The cumulative knowledge of humanity is all that will outlive us, and it must survive.
Nova Spivack is an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author, He is the founder and CEO of the early stage science and technology incubator Magical and co-founder of The Arc Mission Foundation, An organization dedicated to depositing planetary information backups around our planet and solar system that are designed to last for billions of years.
Nova’s teams have developed novel technology for preserving information in unique ways, including on quartz crystals and as code in DNA molecules that are embedded in glass beads. People like Nova exist in the present, yet every second of their lives is dedicated to creating a stronger and more robust future for all of humanity. They embody the mission of Type One Planet, and I invite you to become as inspired and excited as I was during this interview.
