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,

Zero Cost: New Economic Era

Zero Cost: New Economic Era

Peter H. Diamandis recently articulated a vision of a transformative shift, where the cost of producing goods and services is rapidly approaching zero. This, he believes, will unlock immense economic opportunities and pave the way for entirely new industries. I've been reflecting on this, and it strikes me how much this resonates with thoughts I've shared over the years.

Indeed, the concept of a "Low Cost Economy" has been a recurring theme in my own writings. I've long emphasized the critical role of cost management in achieving product success and driving economic growth. For instance, my blog post titled "Low Cost Production and AI" [https://mylinkedinposting.blogspot.com/2024/10/low-cost-production-and-ai.html] explicitly discussed this. Within that piece, I referred to earlier reflections like my "Only Answer: Low Cost Economy" where I delved into how cost-efficiency is not just a competitive advantage but a foundational element for future economic landscapes.

I also explored this in "Take Wind Out Of Their Sail", highlighting the benefits of a low-cost structure in enhancing competitiveness and creating wealth. The core idea I wanted to convey then, and which still holds true, is that a focus on reducing costs fundamentally reshapes industrial and societal interactions.

Furthermore, in "Strategy Inputs: Secondary Resources", I touched upon the accelerated pace of change and the imperative for swift, entrepreneurial decision-making—qualities that become even more vital when costs are plummeting, as Peter H. Diamandis, whose insights you can explore further on his LinkedIn or by reaching him at peter@a360.com, suggests.

The core idea I wanted 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. The insights of Peter H. Diamandis provide a powerful confirmation of these long-held beliefs. It’s not just about efficiency anymore; it’s about a complete re-imagining of economic paradigms.
