The document discusses the concept of "The Age of Smiths" presented by Arturo Pelayo. It touches on three main topics: 1) Going full circle and how knowledge accumulation is unsustainable, 2) The speed of knowledge and how power dynamics have changed, with old power being top-down versus new power being collaborative, and 3) The need for decolonization and a shift in mindset, including viewing leaders as mentors and creating organizations focused on empowering people rather than profits. The presentation concludes with a message about prioritizing prosperity over profits.

97. As an Iraqi Doctor living in Baghdad we are
struggling too hard in our job.
Despite of all the difficult circumstances we
are doing great work here with limited
resources.
Our ambition is limited by many obstacles
made by administrative corruption in the
Healthcare field.
@mexiwi | ArturoPelayo.com #TDSFNZ

98. We feel that we can do more and
achieve many good things for our
people.
In addition to my work as a doctor
working in a government hospital,
I volunteer to provide free
healthcare to poor families, orphan
kids and victims of terrorist attacks.
@mexiwi | ArturoPelayo.com #TDSFNZ

99. One of my dreams is to build a
mobile healthcare clinic and use
it to provide care in poor
neighborhoods ...breaking all
limitations imposed by space or
sectarian differences and ethnic
conflicts.
@mexiwi | ArturoPelayo.com #TDSFNZ

100. My dream is to make a team of
doctors from all ethnic and
religious groups and going to all
places with armed conflicts and
showing people that we are all
human beings.

101. Nothing can make us enemies to
each other. Only ourselves.
