alternative
paradigm of how the human brain works.
Hawkins’
alternative
model of how the brain works has important implications for many fields, including the one that I spend most of my time thinking about: economic-development strategy.
An alternative, Hawkins-like approach to economic development would take massive amounts of data about the world and ask what is likely to succeed next in a country or a city at a given point in time, given what is already present and in light of the experience there and everywhere else.
This
alternative
approach can empower many more people to seek successful routes to prosperity by lowering the perils and risks involved in the search – in the same way that maps empower people to get to where they want to go with much more information than they would otherwise have.
