Borislav Zlatanov

Borislav learned about the concept of a Global Resource Based Economy in 2009, upon which he decided to volunteer his time to help make this vision a reality. He has embraced developing an interdisciplinary skill set as a necessary approach to making progress on the global challenges facing humanity today.

As a software engineer and server administrator, he learned an engineering way of thinking which plays an essential role in problem solving. Whether it is automating everyday operations or imagining and implementing new ways of doing things, having an interdisciplinary perspective helps him design solutions based on the underlying human needs and organizational workflows.

He is the founder of KnowledgeMap.me. This project ultimately aims to create a shared global brain for all of humanity, where all the knowledge is interconnected, to help inform our decisions and connect the dots between our sciences. He is also the founder of Mail Reach.

Borislav is super passionate about education and learning as evolving concepts, and the changes a very different concept of education can bring about. For several years he has been working with kids and adults, teaching guitar and English. Learning from how kids approach learning outside of class settings is frequently eye-opening. Such openness to what they offer enables the co-creation of learning goals and pathways to happen, with innovative thinking on both sides, and with support, experience and effective methods from the teacher's side. Where this environment of openness and safety makes it possible for people to spontaneously suggest and create innovations based on their existing background, effective learning methods mean rapidly getting from zero to an advanced level of a skill (if attaining this is what is desired). He also has interests in the automation of education and has created an automated course on time management.

He strives to take insights from the fundamental sciences to form new ideas and quickly get feedback before and after applying them in the real world, in order to understand their desirability and feasibility.

He is interested in the design of radically effective and sustainable machines, the design of effective and self-maintaining organizations that have a purpose, and is aspiring to learn more about the design of self-maintaining ecological systems that produce abundance. He is furthermore interested in processes that enable the collaborative development and continuous improvement of such designs, and in working on our understanding of the effect and role of these designs in the world at large and over time.

He is a graduate of the Compassion Course. This skill set has been fundamental to enabling him to have consistent clarity about his work, live in accordance with his values, and collaborate with a wide variety of people whose behavior may differ from his. His application of a discipline usually called General Semantics has also been fundamental to facilitating communication, as well as to all his other endeavors.

He is a Warm Data Labs host, which work involves highly transcontextual research to create systemic change, and to change and nurture relationships between life.

He has a Bachelor's degree in Guitar and Music and a Master's degree in English and Translation.
