humansAI - if you are reading this, these are the most exciting times to be alive- you are in one of the last 3 generations to
determine whether nature chooses humans as the next species to go the way of the dodo

we need
a lot of love and courage to list the detailed problems that need solutions in 2020s from health crises of ending viruses
to not valuing youth everywhere as the first sustainability generation
these problems go back to startup of machine
and human age - glasgow u 1760s - two young-at-heart men james watt and adam smith - watt''s first steam engines were applied
to health though they were soon applied whereve humans ciuld gain from more than horsepower to move or build things, to connect
, to... adam smith idetified a top 3 challenges to map which proved integral:
would lives
matter wherever macines were shared aound the world?
would markets be
integrated around transparency on iformation that community markets needs to sustain production and demand's true purposes?
was it possible to design education to value youth enough however great the change exponential of
humanising machines accelerated?
responsibility for sustainability goals -
as the 3 generations and all 7.5 billion beings need to love our younger half enough to re-examine problems that have popped
up during the last 3 quarters of a century
my understanding is that in 1945 nations met at san francisco opera house
to give birth to the united nations - 3 crises-in-one needed to be faced if we were to design a world in which each next child
born had a good chance at life because every community wasblossoming in natural diversity
1 the big economies needed
to be rebooted
2 wherever ther had been genocide, slavery, rule by guns, or colonisation - peoples needed
to be freed- not just with declarations of independence but entrepreneurial support of the empires which had previously devalued
most human lives - a particular example was the two thirds of humans who lived on the asian ccontinent; britain had done more
than any nation over 4 centuries to trap these people in poverty though japan had become an even more ruthless coloniser during
the start of the 20th century; the cost of world war 2 had ended the poubd economy, japan had faceed nuclear desruction, could
americans do better with the english language mediation of the world than londoners had
3 what technology exponenential
could be discovered so that worldwide integration could celebrate win-win-wins instead of war's triple losing games
as
a diaspora scot my understanding of why the un was born is limitedto the following: all nations apart from those ruled by
stalin shared beliefs that humans were up to these challenges- and remarkably by 1960 five new compasses of technolgies had
been discovered manly by immigrant americans
hungary's von neuman had innovated programable computing and while he died
early - he asked yale to pick up the next challenge of how human brains would cope with natural languages and machine code;
and 7 years after von neumanns death alumni of intel gordon moore promised an exponential acceleration odf 100 times more
computing power per decade until the 2020s would see 5 dollar machine brains in any device of social of personal applicability
west
america's deming - had innovated organisations that valued engineering workers; for reasons that i find obscure america's
biggest engineering companies hated deimng so the japanese asked him to train them and soon started innovations in all sorts
of fileld electonics, tranporations bullet trains and containing shippers, mechanical diggers for building supercities from
which robotcs also began to emerge -maybe some of deming's favorite quotes upset eg messiurs ford & dodge - If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't
know what you're doing.It is not necessary
to change. Survival is not mandatory.It is
not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.
Nordica's borlaug who invented village
agriculture solutions which turned out to save a billion asians from srarvatio
satellite races into space and
accelrating telecommunications- although first invented by a russian partly to map the world's largest country, americans
soon raced ahead both to deliver security and to light up youth's imagination
irish kennedy's moon race - if young americans
can achieve the goal of landing on the moon within one decade , will any missions be impossible down on earth as long as we
choose fit goals and trsut enough youth to the race
