en) can be organised for power and that with the right set of organisational tools they can become actors in history. This to me is the meaning of an open society - a society where everybody has the freedom to realise their full potential and human rights.
I shed a tear. Back in 1972 I was at St James's London in my office's office at The Economist and his was excitedly proclaiming a similar vision except for valuing its realisation as highly probable. We had just started being involved with students experimenting with early digital networks. Father developed the genre of Entrepreneurial Revolution to rehearse how to map back this future with anyone The Economist could reach. In 1984 he led the publication of an alternative to George Orwell's Biog Brother world explaining how the net generation could collaborate around 3 billion new jobs make them the most productive and heroic of all generations.
This book offers an urgent guided tour on how we can help youth get back from possible to making this vision the collaboration reality of 7 billion human beings -their work over the next decade. We''ll lean on the same 7 wonders that dad spent the second of his life debating.
wonder 7 -Dec 25 The Economist survey of Entrepreneurial Revolution -economists need to converge around the most urgent and exciting challenge. None of the 20th century's largest organisational systems are capable of sustaining the net generation. They will need to help find and benchmark new organisational systems. Today as we race through the 2010s we can do this by benchmarking bottom-up NGOs as the most collaborative and purposeful networks humans have ever valued. The graduates in Budapest were listening to the most valuable collaboration entrepreneurial revolutionary I have come across in 41 years of searching leaders and valuing the extent to which brands were helping youth free open society. How do we all action learn with Sir Fazle Abed
wonder 6- fortunately after many zigs and zags since Berners Lee launched the web, platforms have recently been designed that make massive open online, collaboration and courses free. I turns out that the key idea is audio training modules of a maximum of 9 minute duration. So lets start a survey of what 9 minute modules do millions of youth most need to interact beginning with practical 9 minute golden nuggets from sir fazle abed. These will help to linkin this sort of curriculum as the most exciting collaboration that worldwide youth can now achieve
wonder 5 - can draw on dad's 1984 book. A public broadcaster - why not BBC2.1 - needs to celebrate how billions of people can join in a reality tiv game of search out 30000 microfranchises that sustain 3 billion new jobs as well as match my father's core hypothesis by 2005 it will be recognises that differences in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations pose mankind's greatest risk to sustainability
wonder 4 -in parallel to mapping out microfranchises the public needs to be engaged in a debate as to wjhat is the ,most human purpose of each vital global market sector. Once those purposes are known by enough people both professions and politicians need to change from zero-sum top-down standards to way above zero-sum models. Von Neumann provided quite a lot of clues on this as any reader of my father's biography of the father of computing can enjoy. Budapest was one of the most enlightening capitals of the world when Johnny grew up in it; lets move heaven and earth (or at least the European Union) so that it plays that role again in regenerating the 21st Century . Two other experiences from my 24 hours in Budapest support this:
Soros Module:
Chat with Paul Framer- the silver lining of the earthquake destroying Haiti's national nursing college is that its been rebuilt around Paul who is now responsible for open sourcing nursing curriculum as gfast as all his partners can muster

-clean energy and food security
-health service including the empowerment of girl nurses as most trusted grassroots information networks of 21st century, something that suitable focus on mobile apps can free
-everything to do with finance and ending banks that bubble…
e your operational challenges taking all your time? Next month's worldwide launches of Open Learning Campus are time critical.
GME: G is for Girl, M for Millennials-Maps, E for Empowerment-Entrepreneurs
By the mid 1990s, 4 hemisphere movements start to be empowered to linkin every digital means towards mapping these Millennials goals. In diverse cultural cases, quarter of a century of maternal love and smart human networking has planted emotional and social intelligences needed to celebrate this entrepreneurial revolution as the opportunity to empower the first net generation moved from dreaming of millennial goals to the deeply local challenges of how to action network them though changing access to lifelong learning.
Women4Empowerment
1972 Bangladesh village womens networks start to be designed as the miraculous solution to Keynes number 1 worldwide systems challenge of ending poverty. Village capital invests in next generation supported by Montessori schooling and job creating educators
1996 Soros funds the first mobile labs and global village partnering in womens microentrepreneurial revolution with GrameenPhone, and MIT the first linkedin Western millennials lab with a little extra help from Norway. Nearly 20 years of openly replicating solutions of village women entrepreneurs is now being liberated through UN by F4D, W4E, ITU ...

Ethiopian Noah Samara launches Africa's first satellite. He designs in a continent wode frequency for openly sharing life-critical information starting with how to prevent risks like HIV. Kenya becomes the South's most collaborative hub for open source tech wizards- see usahidi, ihub, jamii bora, mpesa, safari, nanocredit, Ibrahim foundation for transparent public servants. From 1999 South Africa becomes world benchmark for job-creating entrepreneurial education Back in 1978 SA youth had been Soros' first philanthropic venture; By 2013 Samara's worldspace is converging all his interests on elearning at Yazmi.com
AsianPacific M
Microconomics in Search of Little Sister
From 1972 Keynsians at The Economist with assistance from Japan, start to debate open education network's curriculum of entrepreneurial revolution and whether the human race can empower millennials to sustain a global village world that is opposite to the macroeconomic endgame charted in Orwell's maps of Big Brother. Population statistics show that 60% of millennial livelihoods will need to be celebrated out of Asia pacific and the impact of girl empowerment will determine what 21st C joys are possible

st miraculous development cases of last 50 years with most knowhow all world wide youth need access to if they are to be the first sustainability generation and enjoy full livelihoods- both are future-history misunderstood like all 20 nations (peoples) survey my father did at particular times from 1962 to 1989- most of these surveys can be clicked through first slide attached- my family's main contribution to sept 30- others need to work on contributions of friends of jack ma and of brac but slides 2.3 indicate some possibilities
who wants to join in - what other understandings can be linked now and who needs to help their places youth action learn or scale fintech.edutech from whom - jack with melinda gates has been invited by un guterres to design most of the education spaces needed
it may not be a popular view but serving in world war 2 as teenager navigating airplanes over modernday myanmar and bangladesh father wanted to end wars by celebrating how any post-war nations people could be newly included in win-win trading routes instead of colonisation win-lose ones (designed for few nations to get ever bigger)
thats why he and prince charles first celebrated reincluding japan in world's goodwill 1962-64- due to deming and focus on civil engineering micro electronics quality systems - anyone who traded with japan first gained win-win futures- of course the superports of taiwan singapore hong kong were early gainers- by early 1970s japan was 2nd wealthiest financially , china diaspora 3rd wealthiest
the reason why bangla and china mainland are worth reviewing is they have applied the same community-rising miracles to develop eg 1970s rice science to end poverty, last mile village health networks - and then again in 1996 same starting place with microsolar and mobile for sharing life critical info but all the while china has the rich diaspora as inward investors and bangladesh has had nothing but aid- but brac with additional education help from british aid then turned aid into sustainable social businesses- nonetheless get out a map - bangladesh remains hemmed in by the borders partitioned at india's independence it cant build a shared super railroad to the rich china coast
sept 30 is at crossroads of all these ideas with jack ma's and tsinghua's main academic researcher coming to brac for a week to exchange every idea anyone brings; hopefully it is also start of continuing alumni exchanges- with jack ma's first investment in brac associated in april this is the time to blossom everywhere that girl empowerment collaboration can
what could china and bangladesh learn from each other and spread across s asia -with china thats 3 billion people (including half of world poorest girls)- if they solve sustainability goals the rest of the world can replicate- to be quite frank this is an english culture conflict reconciliation to sort out not an american one- it was england that did the colonising but it is now england who has more peace credibility at least while trump is trump
or join jack ma's pathway to the tokyo olympics (back in 1964 celebrated by prince charles and akio morita) after which jack wants to change markets ,like education and health that ecommerce alone cant change; jack is also putting 15 billion dollars into keeping research into AI and next tech open while usa is trying to close this down
we need london to join in now because there are really 4 languages that can save borderless youth as sustainability generation chinese english mother tongue coding- digital peer to peer learning methods can make learning any of these 10 times cheaper than pre digital teaching
trump is not going to represent english langiage knowhow the right way round; brexit has distracted uk contributions to future which eu isn't well positioned for anyway; britain needs to be among those who cheer loudest at may 2019 belt roid beijing where all sorts of side summits can linkin
i understand whatever i write will have errors or politically impolite pieces- but the people who join in sept 30 can see all the picees and start clusters of new education tech (missing curricula) as well as fin tech formats which according to all my fathers work needed to be bottom up (ie like bangla girl power) and collaborative like belt road meetings of 100 leaders can be if we go beyond question of whose building/owning the physical infrasrtucture and let youth see the right solutions to replicate through communities; london bbc royal geo society british council etc enjoy unique contributions to make on green but above all english speaking futures and in effect what james wilson and queen victoria started in turning colonisation to commonwealth is still needed all across borders between nations that british colonial age over 4 centuries spiraled
mostofa would probably have much better explanation/focus - he's updating every day with what jack ma's friends want to discuss most and is sitting in brac headquarters so can check 47 year of girl empowerment adds to all oi the above

One of the things we want to do is issue a vear of 2019 short leaflet - if father or like minded souls were around in 2019 who would be the most unique 50=100 people concerned with under 30s around the world he was interviewing or vice versa- we will map these by key regions- we especially want the english language component to be strong as an antidote to brexit and trump. Some would say that it was my dads work in 1961 that re-established good trading connections between europe, japan and first parts of far east to innovate -so it would be pity of youth of english speaking nations are to be most excluded now
If thats the kind of contact someone in IEA or partners would want to be connected with - listing from your viewpoints eg what issues economics or education hasnt yet got a transparent model for youth to be the sustainability generation then we would love to know who to correspond with as we build this directory
we will certainly know who jack ma and who sir fazle abed nominates by oct 6- we then need to find out how to do the journalism to contact extended partners of ma and sir fazle abed- fortunately we have at least 2 outstanding universities -tsinghua in beijing together with its cgtn media division can certainly clarify china contacts - read to put their alumni on to this if that is the regionally suitable way to form the diary

Please could you relay this if relevant to any friends at IEA
My father, Norman Macrae, contributed quite a lot to IEA including review 100 of Hobarts and as a judge of the Fisher awards
He was The Economist's end poverty sub-editor for 40 years and at time of moon landing started genre of Entrepreneurial Revolution- around the Death of Distance hypothesis that mobilising 1000 times more tech connectivity 2015 versus 1946 : would this lead to sustaining or destroying 21st C generations out of every community?
We are delighted to announce that the 9th remembrance event (co-sponsored by Norman Macrae Family Foundation) is returning to Bangladesh the last country he surveyed following the 3rd remembrance party hosted by the japan embassy in Dhaka around 2 roundtable dinners - chaired by Sir Fazle Abed of brac girl empowerment and the worlds largest partnerships ngo and the founder of bkash Kamil Quadir now the world's largest cashless bank. Regionally Norman had spent 3 years in Bangladesh/Myanmar as his last teenage days were spent navigating planes in world war 2
DHAKA SEPT 30 TO OCTOBER 5
Instead of a roundtable dinner we will helping arrange a dialogue week - it will mainly take place at brac but its chief guest will be alibaba';s main academic researcher professor Ying Lowrey of Tsinghua University , Beijing. Norman had hoped from his 1977 survey that the fifts of the world's people in china would become the centre of gravity of sustaining worldwide under 30s
From Ying's viewpoint she seeks to understand Bangladesh at year 47 of girls development of this extraordinary place and peoples - WHY NOW because jack ma has just made his first investment in Bangladesh's digotal banking for the poor -the model that Bill Gates says impresses him like no other
and many other people see the girls economics solutions of Bangladesh being the replicable microfrnachises most needed respond to south asia's ultra poverty challenges- between China and South Asia we map over 40% of the world's people as well as the majority of poorest women
BELT ROAD QUERY: at the same time only a first look at the maps of the east will show that Bangladesh is partitioned in by historically uncollaborative neighbors - India and Myanmar - and so the legacy from the days of the British Raj currently blocks Bangladesh from connecting SME commerce with the rich south coast of china and linking in with all the main maritime flows towards Gulf, Suez and Med Sea
we ask people to find their own traveling costs; we will mainly sponsor the accommodation ; if people don't want to come but want to submit a hugely replicable idea for appraisal we will do our best to facilitate that
if you want more information please ask me in dc or Mostofa Zaman who has been coordinating youth journalism/education out of Bangladesh villages since my father first started consider Bangladesh in 2007
some more updating of my fathers future histories aimed at including nations in win-win trading models in ways that prioritised ending poverty can be found at VALUETRUE.com Maps where we welcome the opportunity to linkin to like-minded learning=livelihood networks

and alumni summit of iwse
here is a converstion we have been exploring with team leaders around the 6th wise laureate
Dear Camille Foundation Ashesi (6th wise laureate network)
Probably the best news i have seen this century is just over 2 months ago jack ma of alibaba took 20% share in brac's fintech network which already has gates foundation multiplying its methods in africa
As you know for nearly 10 years now I wanted to make sure that brac and sir fazle abed kept well connected with the future of edutech fintech as well as real world girls adolescent clubs and every value chain we can transform round sme and thriving local communities everywhere goal 11 as well as 1 and 5 etc. I have also copied javeed mary and marta as the 3 people i spent most time with in qatar as we were all looking from different collaboration perspectives (marta i met at wise spain- she designs experiential learning for every child in barcelona international school, javeed a new york educator and technologist whose passion is the future of children in india and i interviewed a lot of the educationforall people who are a permanent hub at the UN for refugee learning, mary is the american who sits on chinese thinks tanks on the future of education as well as eg leading headstart partnership in brazil) though our common denominator is youth urgently need education to value their livelihoods and their only chance to be the sustainability generation
Fortunately we were able to reconnect with jack ma's main academic researcher who amy and i had meet at tsinghua university in beijing. She said she wanted a week tour of girl empowering dhaka so mostofa, brac's director of education dr islam and brac head office are now arranging that sept 30 to october 6 (asd you probably know brac also has a university- whilst its for profit it aims in key schools like the james grant school of public health to offer the curriculum public servants need to do the best job for the poorest)
my understanding is we welcome guests who want the same things for poorest and girls especially as sir fazle - whether those guests come in person or submit a one pagers which we can get everyone to look at and relevantly follow up- i would still like to see the new university movement in afruca be one core of this and mostifa will renew contact with taddy blecher in s africa - jack ma' scouts through unctad are already filling up places of the first 500 alumni of his new global business coding school in Hangzhou - which is mainly scholarship based - whilst i know kenya and rwanda student streams form part of the recruitment i dont know about most countries though mostofa can probably find out more if you need to know, as i assume brac africa will do too
jack has said that education is the main problem - and from 2020 he will try and focus on it- he knows full well that commerce and finance can get to some markets but not to other ones like education health sports arts cultures and indeed every market that need community building youth and thriving local livelihoods
if you have questions please address particularly to mostofa if he can find out info on the chinese side- and if they need chinese tramslation amy can help too -the wise at beijing i attended was so far ahead on edutech that we still havent begun to help people who only speak english to catch up

Hello Chris,
My apologies for the tardy response, and thank you for this exciting update! BRAC truly is an inspiring organization, and Ashesi remains excited to join them in participating in Accra’s upcoming WISE summit.
13 institutions were represented at last year’s Education Collaborative, but unfortunately none were South African and Taddy Blecher’s was not among them. This year, the organizers of the Collaborative hope to attract more international participants and make the event truly Pan-African. The Ashesi University Foundation is located in the United States and is not involved with organizing the Education Collaborative; however, I will inquire about Taddy’s university during my next conversation with my colleagues in Ghana and suggest that he be invited to this year’s event.

DESCRIPTION
Please join us for an exchange of knowledge and celebration focusing on ‘implementing SDG 11.4 through Local Voices and Global Agendas for Cultural & Natural Heritage,’ a special event to be held in parallel to the UN High-Level Political Forum (HLPF). The event will bring together both local (US) and international stakeholders active in the protection of the world’s natural and cultural heritage, illustrating the vital connections between integrated heritage protection and sustainable development. Through speakers’ interventions and poster presentations, the event will also showcase exemplary efforts on how SDG11, the Urban Goal, can be implemented from the perspective of 11.4.
The UN High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) will be convening in New York City on July 9-18, 2018 to undertake their annual review of progress made on Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, under the theme “Transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies.” The HLPF 2018 will also review SDG11: this is where the UN has explicitly recognized the fundamental role of culture and heritage in sustainable development, i.e. Target 11.4 to “protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage” in order to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.” Both cultural and natural heritage sites, while under immense pressure from the impacts of urbanization, climate change and degradation due to other natural and human factors, play a crucial role supporting local economies, livelihoods, and quality of life in human settlements.
Selected poster presentations will be on view during the reception.
An event organized with the collaboration of UNESCO, UN-Habitat, Government of Ireland, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Global Ecovillage Network (GEN), United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and the American Planning Association (APA).

e next billion off grid, returning local markets to people who have nowhere to affordably sell however hard or valuably they work, and learning for the next billion who have not had access to job creating education is that it was the first nation to empower poorest women villagers with mobile connectivity, Consequently it has both longest experience in leapfrog innovation and first choice of partners in every extreme innovation social lab. By this entrepreneurial revolutionaries mean innovating economic development partnerships between those with the most extreme communal need and those with the greatest technology or resource.
Interestingly when Bangladesh loses its lead at billion leapfrogging it soon collaboratively partners in such a way that it probably doesnt matter if its first or second
So while many may feel that kenya with mpesa and nanocredit is the world leader in bank a billion , brac (eg bkash.com) and Bangladeshi womens networks (more at our fan club http://www.womenuni.com) have quickly connected with the open tech leaders and analagously replicated their own models
When it comes to billion energy leapfrogging, I feel that Bangladesh's models are exponentially sustaining the most low cost dynamics for a nation who doesnt actually manufacture solar, but again china and Bangladesh can win-win without any logical reason not to
When it comes to ecommerce liberating markets for the poorest, again comments welcome chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk searches suggest that jack ma type personalities are way ahead in china - the question of why hasn't Bangladesh joined in jack ma's early invitation to partner about 5 years ago somewhat puzzles me- or maybe progress is going on behind the scenes. Why does Sustainabilty China need BRIC when it could concentrates on win-win trades of BaCh
But This brings us to the last and biggest leapfrog of all which I hope will linkin borderless millennials - job creating learning a billion Its largest because it connects open civil societies through all of the above as well as other practice areas like frugal healthcare networking -a brac origin with its mass movement of oral rehydration; I feel confident that brac is well placed to partner such elearning practice areas as freeing healthcare networks to be by and for all the people. Bangladesh enjoys the right connections in Boston and with Open Society leaders like George Soros- who the search out world leader sn freeing health training, and it does no harm that the current president of the world bank comes from practicing how to empower young professionals to change value chains of health
Why I love maps of leapfrogging is that their economic cases are the opposite of scarcity economics of consuming up things. Leapfrogging values the abundance economic dynsmics of how knowhow muliplies value in use and through open society sharing. This may not be something that national macroeconomists have any interest in but for the erst of the 7 billion people in the millennail generation it can help value all of our livelihhods. Thank you BRAC , and Bangladesh at 44 for the human inspiration.

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula
101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970
Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)

IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE?
- we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my fatherwww.normanmacrae.netat the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book2025 report,retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with great womens education hero bangladesh'sfazle abed; Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ; it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g

I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
