Our vision

The vision of the Choo Institute is of a world where the Diamond Age has come of age.

The core of the Choo Institute's arguments is that the vast majority of the world's citizens are excluded from the benefits of molecular engineering technologies, despite the well-meaning efforts of some. These people wish to acquire and use Diamond Age technologies, but current economic, legal and commercial frameworks now block that wish, discriminating against the poor by impeding them from gaining access to the tools that would enable them to transform thought and creativity into working processes and applications.

To assist developing nations to make the transition to a Diamond Age economy, the Choo Institute seeks to help Heads of State and Heads of Commerce to implement institutional and policy reforms that empower those people who are virtually excluded from participating in the overall molecular engineering economy.

Such people - who comprise more than 70% of the world's population - are empowered by giving them access to formal nanomolecular knowledge rights combined with open source licensing of nanomolecular innovations, and providing them with the tools to release the potential locked up in the intellectual assets they have accumulated. This involves continuing to develop and implement the Choo Institute's strategy, methodology and program, which contain the following four components.

• Reform of intellectual property law, the hidden architecture of Diamond Age capitalism, so that it is accessible to the overwhelming majority of people in the Third World
• Encouragement of the dissemination and implementation of Diamond Wright knowledge to empower the poor of the global nanomolecular economy
• Education of Heads of State and Commerce, providing them with the tools and political motivation to implement intellectual property reform by championing the cause of the largest segment of the population - the disempowered Diamond Wrights of the world
• Creation of the interlinked notions of Global Personal Utility and the Human Constitution for all citizens of the world
