Foundation For A New Humanity
Davis later became a venture capitalist and lecturer on meditation and self-awareness. Davis is the founder of Foundation for a New Humanity, a technology development and venture capital company commercializing breakthrough technologies.
In an article published in the Iowa Source in 2005, Davis said:
If you were to do a survey of what causes misery on earth, it would tend to fall into three broad categories. One, we can call systems: the economy, AIDS, terrorism--things that are 'systems' in nature. The second would be a list of everybody to blame: Bush is the cause of my misery, my ex-wife, my boss. The third would be things that come utterly out of left field: a tornado through town, a tsunami, events that are not in our apparent control. What this huge list would have in common--something everybody would agree with — is that the cause of misery are things outside ‘myself’. But the cause of our misery is absolutely, positively not at all what we believe it to be. This is not a new view. Certainly saints and philosophers in every generation have basically argued if you want to change the world, you have to change yourself.
