#Mindcandy are scenario prompts to help companies formulate strategy. Find out more here.
Scenario prompt 16 July 2025
The prompt is “we’re all techies now”. AI, LCNC and ongoing technology abstraction will make all technology available for everyone in your company. That is huge opportunity to create company wide innovation platform. Culture is what is going to make the difference.
The other scenario prompts for today are 3D-printing insects, genetic modification, quantum chips, organoids, quantum entanglement, MICE vs. RASCLSm, 3D-printing living lung tissue and you are the upgrade.

Would you get a one-time genetic modification such that you’d never have to take a GLP-1 drug for weight loss ever again?
First electronic-photonic quantum chip manufactured in commercial foundry
First time quantum light sources, control electronics are tightly integrated on a silicon chip
Mini hearts, lungs and livers made in lab now grow their own blood vessels
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-02183-9
The structures, which mimic the heart, liver, lungs and gut, are some of the most complex models of human development ever made and contain cell populations and structures not seen before in these models.

This controversial idea could completely change how we understand the mind.
We’re all techies now: Digital skill building for the future
The emergence of digital technologies, especially the rapid rise of AI over the past two years, comes with immense promise to unleash growth and productivity. But companies will not see those benefits if their employees are not up to speed.
MICE vs. RASCLS: a sterile debate (among others) in intelligence
MICE stands for Money, Ideology, Coercion, and Ego. RASCLS is a framework with six universal principles of influence: Reciprocation, Authority, Scarcity, Commitment & Consistency, Liking, and Social Proof.
UBCO researchers create 3D-printed living lung tissue
https://news.ok.ubc.ca/2025/07/15/ubco-researchers-create-3d-printed-living-lung-tissue/
Researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and develop new treatments.
