Alex Peake presents "Apathy is obsolete: How to empower humanity with social empowerment" at BIL 2009 in Longbeach, CA just after TED 2009 in the same place.

Bill Gates unleashed mosquitos to scare rich people into caring about malaria enough to put an end to this disease that cripplies people in poor nations. The point is to get funding and attention for solving this human health problem.

Alex Peake unleashed butterflies to inspire empowered people to care about human empowerment enough put an end to the apathy that cripples human lives around the world. The point is to get funding and attention for solving this human potential problem.

Apathy is obsolete. The future is already here, it's just not fully developed yet. The Empowerment Platform will change that. But it needs support to get off the ground.
