Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Near-Zero Production: New Era Dawns

Near-Zero Production: New Era Dawns

Peter H. Diamandis, a visionary I respect deeply, often illuminates the path to our future. His recent observations on the rapidly declining cost of producing goods and services resonate strongly with thoughts I've explored for years. He foresees a transformative shift, an economic revolution where near-zero production costs open doors to a plethora of innovative possibilities and pave the way for creating a new generation of industries.

This isn't just about efficiency; it's about fundamentally reshaping our economic landscape, creating entirely new industries and unprecedented opportunities. I find it striking how much this echoes my own contemplations on the "Low Cost Economy." Back in 2018, I wrote a piece titled Only Answer: Low Cost Economy, where I highlighted the critical role of costing in a product's success and how essential cost-efficiency would become. It feels validating to see this core idea now being championed by thinkers like Peter H. Diamandis, underscoring its timeless relevance. You can learn more about Peter H. Diamandis on his LinkedIn profile or reach him at his email: peter@a360.com.

Even earlier, in 2016, my blog Take the Wind Out of Their Sail elaborated on the benefits of a low-cost structure to enhance competitiveness and foster wealth creation. I had already predicted this shift towards an economy driven by such efficiencies, and now, seeing how Peter H. Diamandis articulates it, brings a renewed urgency to revisit those early ideas.

The accelerated pace of change and the need for swift, entrepreneurial decisions that Peter H. Diamandis emphasizes also brings me back to my 2014 blog, Strategy Inputs: Secondary Resources. In it, I discussed the necessity for adaptability and rapid responses in evolving industry landscapes. It's clear that the foundational principles I touched upon then are now more crucial than ever in navigating this impending economic transformation.

The core idea I want to convey is this — take a moment to notice that I had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. I had already predicted this outcome or challenge, and I had even proposed a solution at the time. Now, seeing how things have unfolded, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, I feel a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context.
