Main reason for optimism is leapfrogging - thats when a society/place that was excluded from industrial age networks leapfrogs an old system to a new one thanks to 1000 times more COMstech than 1946; about a third of the world never had wired telephone lines, now almost all have mobile (text version); more than a quarter of the world never had electricity grids, now microsolar is linking in;.

Even as the 1960s moon race inspired the world, we need to understand how unequal the opporttunity to innovate had been - even in the 1960s as many as half the world's people had no access to electricity grids so they got their news of the moon race by word of mouth.

Consider 1000-1500- until the last few years of this period , the known world was Europe-Asia and NE Africa; #BR8 the med sea was the main world trade waterway; places facing this sea increasingly developed win-win trades; moreover #BR7 the west asian border to med sea was the start of an amazing overland relay of traders which stretched all the way to china (the silk road was the greatest overland world trade route ever and to sustain its interfacing markets required positive cross-cultural bridging all along its route. Silks and spices from the Chinese end acted like a positive currency- there was much demand for them whose value naturally went up the further they were merchanted back to Europe. Everyone gained for this trading route- you can read marco polo's diaries- perhaps nowhere invested more in artistic celebrations of being a major hub of positive trade than his hometown venice in europe and the town he was asked to govern for 2 years in china Hangzhou which marco described as the great town of markets in the world.)

What happened towards 1500 that 2 long shipping routes were discovered by north europeans- the new world of the ameriucas to the west (#BR6 N, #BR10 what we now call Latin America), and a way of reaching the @BR2 South Asian coastal Belt (starting with the indian subcontinent) by sailing around africa. A ship captain couldnt affird such a long return voyage unless he goit what trade he wanted- soon this big ships were equipped with gun power and crews were pressganged or even enslaved. Next in the process was colonising. So it was that nations became big by pludering economies of other peoples places. Back in 1500 places economic size was corelated with population. Soon Britain grew at the expense particularly of the Indian subcontiuent. Mainly Britain and France colonised Africa too, Spain andPotrtugal colonised Latin America. North America was settled by a mixyure of Europeans whose declaration of Indendence in 1776 ended any attempt by Britain to colonise America, But we should note that the USA was built on a sort of internal colonisation - natives had theor places taken over and slaves were used to do most of the hard labour. In effect the old war's colonial ways casued the 2 world wars of the fkirst half of the 20th C. From 1946 most of the world's countries regained their independence but starting from (mainly undeveloped states - poverty that the colonia era had gtraped them in).

Ironically whule the UDA came to tghe resuce of the old workld and from 1946 helped relaunch the two biggest losers of world war 2 Germsny and Japan, american (not withstandiong thair family trees origins) had previously had little modern of knowledge of Eurasia but were pulled into peacekeeping and the cold war with russia through the sceond half of the 20th C. Whilst there was some understanding of the extraoerdinary progress japanese enginers made with electornics, civil and other enginnering, the rise and rise of the east and the often difficult bodrers that had been caused by British and Jpoanese colonisation of the region are not deeply studied by most Americans or their media. It should be the best news the world has ever seen that the fifth of the world in chjna tghat closed itself to the world for more than a centiry after Brfits has offered opium as a gtrading currency in 1860 is now as entrepreneurial as anywhere. With over half of tghe world's ;people facikng either the sout asia or east asia coastal belts, the opportunity the east is cfreating to win0pwin gtrade oin line with moore's ever increasing technology should make sustainable youth worlwdie the gfreatesty positive curency-invetsment the human race has ever mapped. But this is not how USA or the block of coungtriues ruled by the Euro have marketed transapfrently. Instead we are caught in the Keynsian crisis of economist not valuing the hippocratic oathes he had published as tghe final chapter of the ngeneral throy of employment money and interest. The 2020s are likely to make the system designs our tech spreads irreversible- will the end game be big brother extinction or little sister sustainability?

david thanks for your/coquora inspiring presentation which I reattach -if only we were all boulder-based -peter burgess may remember meeting the bbc's most urgent climate crisis broadcaster (he knows as he's spent a lot of time in north ;pole) - paul only just survived british schooling as he shares with us in this new york meeting

please tell us if your diary is passing new york or baltimore  or boston- 3 spaces that I can usually get a quick quorum of people who know that schooling is a completely bust system

as far as i am concerned a lead indicator of a system for any age group 9 and over being bust is if it doesnt allocate at least 10% of time and far more assessment value to empowering children to brainstorm or do collaborations around projects they have helped to observe as needed in the school or if its safe in the surrounding community 

whilst i would like to get to a world of schools where everyone has had a chance to learn to code i would first prefer chance for teaching kids how the second they leave school they can assemble their own conversation circle and do something 

if anyone thinks they know of a school in america that does already permit this i would love to go and visit it -maybe we reserve one blog for reports on such schools if anyone else gets what I am trying to dare any parent to take back on behalf of their kids

david if for example you are in new york i can introduce you to daniel and friends- he has a college in a city in china ready and waiting for 1000 undergraduates to visit in for 6 months- why not make the first day of induction at that college an open space

if you are near baltimore then dr al hathaway still hasnt seen a real open space

its not that its open space or nothing -   for example there's a great looking series of hacking books here including how to hack grades 
where can we get started everyone?

We are proud to launch
The CoQuora Manifesto!

 

manifesto

/ˌmænɪˈfɛstəʊ/
noun.
"public declaration," 1640s, from Italian manifesto "public declaration" explaining past actions and announcing the motive for forthcoming ones: "originally "proof," from Latin manifestus

That is exactly what The CoQuora Manifesto is for us. An explanation, and a motive. A proof of our commitment. And a declaration of our steadfast belief that these ideas could drag the world out of the mess it seems to be in right now.
