PENIEL NEWS Humanities & Science Collision Shaping Africa
Imagine taking a time machine back to 2018 from 2050 (going backwards in time), a time when Africa was in poverty, with unemployment rates as high as 46% in the Congo, electrification rates of only 42% across the continent, infrastructure backlog of an estimated $ 89 billion per annum, with leadership struggling to resolve what seems so mundane as land reform issues.
A music and dance rhythm with Fibonacci embedded on its notes, I kid you not.
When you arrive there, you onboard onto the time machine a fellow and bring him to 2050, and then walk him around and watch him react to everything. There would be, the obvious lack of empathy for his perplexity you know, something like a village boy from rural Congo visiting Cape Canaveral on Falcon heavy launch day. New Possibilities

Seeing human ferrying rockets shooting up to space across the continent hundreds of times a day, talk to an AI agent via a smartphone in any African language and get intelligent feedback on African issues, a step by step training on how to get a 30 tonne per hector yield on your maize production ‘in any dialect’, purchase a satellite component from Ghana and pay with bitcoin and have it shipped to Cape Town within 12 hours, school kids in rural Kenya watching youtube videos on maths and interacting with an AI agent to explain the concepts using their local environment, solar panels and storage batteries in most buildings powering the continent and manufactured by robots in a factory is Cameroon, conversion of older internal combustion cars to electric motors produced in Africa, agriculture and food production that has more than doubled and is assisted by integration of sensors for the Internet of Things, an increase in distribution of wealth archived with minimal CO2 emissions, and worlds of other inconceivable sorcery. This is all before you show him artificial super intelligence or explain things like 200 000 African living and working in space, how to manipulate the Higgs (the God particle), how to mine asteroids in space, or new time and space travel equations, or the latest SME launch and scaling pad by Peniel that focuses on the “ Edwin Land of reusability of resources to reduce launch Polaroid, said about costs.
the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and science, and I decided thats what I wanted to do”
Voyager 1 is the fastest object ever created by a human being. Launched in 1977, and has done some 30 billion miles. Travel speed is 11 miles per second, 39000 miles per hour.
Such a trajectory, such a convex of human progress plotting steeper and steeper along the axis through time, is what futurist Ray Kurzweil calls human history’s Law of Accelerating Returns.
This happens because more advanced societies have the ability to progress at a faster rate than less advanced societies - STEVE JOBS because they’re more advanced. The after 2010, Africans know more and have better technology than the before 2010 ones, so it’s no surprise that Africans will make far more advances in the years to 2050 than before 2010.

I am purposefully using 2010 as a significant turning point post the 2008 global economic crush. This is for the same reason we just discussed—the Law of Accelerating Returns. The average rate of advancement between 1985 and 2015 was higher than the rate between 1955 and 1985— because the former was a more advanced world—so much more change happened in the most recent 30 years than in the prior 30 and so much more will happen in the next 30.
