What is the simplest thing that I can do to create maximum benefit for humanity?

This is a question I have been asking myself, and has been driving my career in recent times.  This web site is a collection my writings, activities, photos, and personal information. 

After a trip to India in 2001,I made my decision to Do Something, not really knowing what.  I wanted to apply what I had learned over my career to making the world a better place, but really didn't know how.  I traveled to Africa, India, China, and Eastern Europe; attended conferences for philanthropy and Non-government organizations.  This led me to starting GivingSpace, and to become a 2003 fellow at Stanford University's Digital Visions Program. I am also working on the notion of an Uplift Academy to discover and replicate patterns of success via internet technology.

Did I figure out the simplest thing I can do to have the greatest uplift for humanity?  Well, I'm not sure yet.  Maybe getting everyone else to ask themselves this question is the answer.

Here is some background material.  My blog records my activities and thoughts, and here are some papers.

May good things come,

Tom
