Food kickstarter project for New York with Diversity



 The city with freedom, City with opportunity, City with diversity… It's they come together when we think about New York. The fact that out of the 50 states in the U.S, the city with the largest start-up population compared to population density is New York, not San Francisco.







 Based on New York's diverse population and diversity, I'd like to introduce food-tech startup lunch iD and their Kickstarter project that provide a new experience in restaurant searches.

 Lunch iD is a Virtual Reality based restaurant voucher service that allows restaurant guests to experience the inside of a restaurant before visiting a restaurant, and to taste a specific menu at a discounted price








 They focus on the characteristics of New York City, which has a diverse population and attempts to solve the problem that it is difficult to reveal the diverse food and cultural characteristics of the world through comment reviews or photographs of existing restaurant search platform.


 In addition, lunch iD hopes to create a win-win ad platform for both restaurants and consumers in an attempt to offset the gentrification while they selling vouchers and pursuing profits.






So far, Lunch iD has been serving in more than 50 partner restaurants in New York, and the menus that include diverse food such as poke bowl, bibimbap, dumplings, hamburgers, sandwiches, rice cakes, pizza, chicken, and sushi.


Lunch iD has planned a Kickstarter project to spread their brand story more widely. Starting from September 26th to October 25th, Lunch iD(voucher), as well as VR Goggles, provided as a reward. If Kickstarter funding is successful, it will be partnering with over 150 restaurants for about eight weeks.

Similarities in Nazis and technical unemployment


 One of the dark histories of mankind is the Nazism in Europe. Six million Jews were killed. Though it is not the exact number, it is enough to remind us of the dark situation.


 Now, on the European continent, 13 million unemployed people are counted, more than twice as many as the victims of Jews, but a similar figure given the world population, which has more than doubled since the Second World War. In addition, job substitution and unemployment by technologies all over the world seem to have subtle similarities with racial policies of the Nazi era, which controlled human grades.


 The power of the Nazis was in the technology. It is no exaggeration to say that Germany's steel, automobiles, precision machinery, and medicine, recognized in the world market, are the result of the Nazi R & D. Technology is a double-edged sword that helps people and on the other hand, squeezes people in the Nazi era and now. The difference is that technology in the Nazi era was aimed at killing people effectively, but now technology is aimed at turning the world into a better place. But unintentionally, the loss of life for those who lost their jobs by technology does not differ significantly from the R & D output of the Nazi era.




 New jobs are likely to be born outside the 'expected range' of robots. The underlying creativity comes from cultural backgrounds such as diversity, openness, and respect for minority opinions. It is because culture is an area where technology cannot be seen. Let's recall the fact that the world economy is in the influence of Jews and that the Jewish "Hutzpah culture" even though an enormous number of Jews were sacrificed.




 Nazism dreamed of the only Germanic nation, rejecting ethnic minorities including Jews for reasons of life and religion. However, the world's leading companies, including Google and Tesla, are putting diversity at the top of the value to discover and collaborate with creative talent. Hannah Arendt said the following three reasons for the conviction of Eichmman, who devised death camps and gas chambers as Nazi coders, were guilty. The inability of speaking, the inability of thought, and the inability of thinking in the position of others. Are not Hannah Arendt's three abilities a condition for creative talents in the robot era?

On immigrant

 Trump’s Anti-immigration administration orders are furious. In addition to protest at airports, more than 1,000 employees, including Sergey Brin, CEO of Google, took up the opposition pickets at Google headquarters on the 30th. Also, IT leaders, including Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, blamed the orders officially.
                     

(US President Donald Trump, signed an Anti-immigration administrative order)

 The reason why IT leaders walked in arms and rebelled against the anti-immigration administrative orders was because of Silicon Valley, which boasted prosperity as a weapon of advanced software engineers from all over the world, was at risk of collapse. The essence of the anti-immigration administrative order is to stop the refugee's entry into the United States for three months and to ban the entry of US citizens from seven countries in the Middle East, including Iran and Iraq, for refugees, scholars and permanent residents for 90 days.

 Trump's American centrism resembles the extreme right that politically uses human biological vulnerability. The reason for the lack of jobs in the United States is the spread of the 'virus' that immigrants are infecting, and the various races have infected the American Dream, which advocates 'skillfulness' rather than nationality and race.


(Google's California office, Sergey Brin, CEO of Google)

 In the history of the United States, there was this "war against the virus" once again. In 1775, about one-third of the US Army, which was besieging Quebec, fell on smallpox. They eventually had to retreat, marking their first combat defeat in US history. The United States, which was the colony at the time, suffered the worst smallpox and lost 100,000 lives, but in England, the disease was endemic, and most British soldiers were immune because they were alive when they were young. Commander George Washington ordered the vaccination of smallpox virus and repeatedly withdrew. Then, after the rumor that Britain plans to spread smallpox as a biological weapon, it finally ordered all men to be vaccinated. In other words, the existence of the United States owes a certain amount to obligatory immunization from the beginning.

 On Immunity


 Virus immunology has the word 'collective immunity'. Since the efficacy of the vaccine does not guarantee 100%, the likelihood of infection remains even after inoculation. In addition, some people do not have the immune system from the vaccine, so this situation should ultimately depend on collective immunity so that the group does not become a host from the virus. In other words, the vaccination has the character of collective defense not only for one person but also for the immune system for others.



 California, where Silicon Valley is located, is the sixth largest economy in the world by GDP. The economic growth rate is nearly three times that of the US, 6%. The motive power is in the manifestation of 'group creativity' based on 'diversity'. Collective creativity is an immune system from the 'virus of the future' filled with uncertainty. In the United States, perhaps, the world needs a vaccine called 'diversity'
