I work at Lernico.ai, which helps teachers and case managers manage their students and work with AI. I have had a couple of sales jobs, from d2d to AE at startups. I graduated with a BA in international business and politics, writing my thesis on Manager AI evaluation.
Born in Nineveh, Iraq. Live in Stockholm.
Some topics that I’m interested in:
startups: trying to figure stuff out, but definitely stuck here for the coming 20 years of my life.
future economic model: UBI? post-labour economics? how will money actually get distributed once AGI does most of the work?
politics: why countries rank where they do is basically known, trust in institutions, sustainable growth, safety, and still almost no population manages to change its beliefs to follow it. education doesn’t fix it either. how does the collective consciousness of a population grow and mature to accept and change certain ideas?
meaning: already a problem for young people, and it gets much worse once nobody is forced to leave the house to find work and socialise to survive. the pandemic was a preview. we need new philosophers post AGI.
Arab world: the region mostly imports and consumes instead of producing, and I think the core issue is a culture where one accepted truth dominates and deviating from it costs you. UAE and Saudi are showing green flags. but how do we get innovation to flourish beyond consumerism, and how do we start producing original philosophy and intellectuals that compete on the global stage.
religion: I think for most people religion has become communal ritual, identity and belonging with different sets of practices, at least that is what we consider being “religious”.
space: where are they? Also, how do we understand time? if it’s a fourth dimension, does our whole timeline look like a line from outside it? is it predetermined then? so freewill....? maybe I’ll wrap my head around it soon.
Other random stuff:
Built a fun student project in uni, meetalbano, matching students on blind dates based on personality. “the case for meeting strangers”. Many interesting findings came out of it, separate page coming.
I have debated at university level, something I enjoy a lot and could definitely be better at if I allocated more time to it. Did martial arts when I was younger and still keep up Jiujitsu, the best sport. Tennis is the most enjoyable to watch. Running is the most meditative one (aiming for a sub-3-hour marathon someday). I write whenever I find inspiration, still trying to figure out when something is “good enough” to share with people.
recommend me a book to read:
