He’s celebrating by writing a memoir that’s documented his life’s first three-quarters of a century and applying for a grant that can fuel his passion to solve six of the world’s key problems for the decades to come.</p> <p>“Chronologically, I’m 75 years old, but I have this little, happy 18-year-old bursting out inside of me every now and then,” Solez said.</p> <p>The memoir will be titled “Serially Surreal” – a term the late great singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen described Solez as during their first meeting in 2005. Solez founded separate events Leonard Cohen Nights and Leonard Cohen International Festivals to honor the artist. The grant for which Solez is applying is through CIFAR, a Canadian-based global research organization. Solez believes the data from artificial intelligence can be used to tackle six critical issues facing society: Male Aggression; Nuclear War; Climate Emergency; Systemic Racism; COVID-19 Pandemic; and Colonialism. Those issues can be solved through what Solez considers a combination of “humanity plus AI.”</p> <p>“One can imagine a future where it is possible to measure changes in human behavior, positive changes in the world brought about by something you wrote, or a video you produced, and that becomes the criterion on which academic advancement is based,” Solez said. “That will be a world much better than today. We don’t have those metrics yet. However, it is a very nice position to be in, to be the person suggesting future standards!”</p> <p>Solez said he’s always viewed the world differently, even from the day he was born – June
