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?

un happy 75th birthday fortnight

just a few notes on peoples interests in case that can help our zoom tomorrow get off to fast start

i think young people can change the world by being fluent in multiple languages part of martas work at american international school in barcelona 

and by celebrating arts song's mission in life

i think zooms give us great chance to connect students across borders in both of these areas

i first met song when she was escorting chinese architecture student competition winners around the un as the sdgs were being launched in 2015 and she gave me a day of her time to do some work linking in black lives matter in brooklyn- medgar evers college

if we are ever allowed to travel again, many things now intersect in brooklyn- this is where many of jaumonts dual language schools are planted- as france's education and cultural attache to un in ny -its where soros and musician LEON BOTSTEIN recruit disadvantaged students for their liberal arts school bard in new york state which soros is using to connect 30 sdg universities around the world including my favorite brac of sir fazle abed- soros has moved his own 30 year old university out of hungary to vienna alongside ban ki moon's and other un mission's there- 2021 expects to see 2 deep climate summits one coordinated by ban ki-moon and the other cop26 nov 2021 glasgow/italy- i have often found glasgow-barcelona-rome to be peopled very differently than brussels eu -most deep community networks advancing sdgs that i have written up are inspired by either franciscan or some branch of confucian cultures




one of marta's global projects involved taking her 12th graders to help with translation in the peruvian amazon of a project staffed with medics out of michigan which i believe is christian's home state

both song and christian jobs and networks in beijing are diverse and interesting to explore

marta's own web of projects which every student and teacher works on in serving communities is at WIN-WIN CONNECTION, responsabilidad social empresarial

the barcelona school finished the year with students making 12 sdg project pitches that they wanted to keep progressing through summer

on these 75th birthday of un, everything is zoom - and the fringe festival of events hosted sept 15-30 outshines the official ones -in a normal year leaders go not only to the un but to bloomberg and summit world economic forum hosts in ny

so if we can come up with any zooms to pitch sept 15-30 or rehearse with schools this can be a unique time

cheers chris  -see you 9 beijing, 3 barcelona time friday at zoom
