Good Gym at LIFT

I was invited a few weeks ago to speak at a conference in France called LIFT – it was all about bringing the spirit of the web to the real world. I talked about a few things including The Good Gym. In general -my point was that a lot of the formats through which we interact with each other are designed for us to behave badly- in fact they are designed primarily to limit our abiltiy to harm each other. I argue that we need to design more formats for another important human abilty – our ability to help each other. You can watch the full talk above, the Good Gym part starts at about 16mins in.

Part of the solution has to be to take a holistic and strategic look at an ageing society. For example, Can we find innovative ways of paying for preventative healthcare? Can we incentivise people to stay active for longer? Can we deliver more and better jobs for those close to (and beyond) the State Pension Age? Or could we offer a flexible state pension where individuals could choose to draw down a smaller state pension earlier in retirement in return for a more generous one later on?.
