; .620th century intelligence - ending poverty of half world without electricity -although Keynes 1936 (last capter general theiry money inetrest emplymen) asked Economists to take hipocrati oath as the profession that ended extreme poverty, most economists did the opposite. Whats not understandable is how educatirs failed to catalogue the lessons of the handful who bottom-up empowered vilages to collaboratively end poverty. There are mainly 2 inteligences to understand- Borlaug on food; fazle abed on everything that raised life expectancy in tropical viage asia from low 40s to 60s (about 7 below norm of living with electricity and telecomes). Between 1972 and 2001, Abed's lessons catalogued in this mooc had largelu built the nation of Bangladesh and been replicated with help of Unicef's James Grant acroo most tropical asian areas. What's exciting is the valley's mr ad mrs steve jobs invted Fazle Abed to share inteligences 2001 at his 65th birthday party. The Jobs and frineds promised to integrate abed's inteligence into neighborhod university stanfrd which in any event wanted Jobs next great leap the iphone. The Valley told abed to start a university so that women graduates from poor and rich nations could blend inteligence as Abed's bottom of the pyramid vilage began their journey of leapfrog modles now that gridd infarstructures were ni longer needed for sdiar and mobile. Abed could also help redesign the millennium goals which were being greenwashed into a shared worldwide system coding frame by 2016. There re at Abed's 80th birtday party , the easy bitwas checking this mooc was uptodate. The hard bit - what did Abed mean by his wish to headhunt a taiwanese american to head the university's 3rd decade starting 2020?
cI would love to zoom with such a place -and the peoples
What if a place is only as great as ithe way its people's spend 4 thing life'time*,omey*trus*data
what I am certain about is beware every single second how are you spending your life'times -
conversely money is really weird- making enough of it seems to matter- what is enough nobody agreesd; unlike death some people seem able to com,e back from below zero
trust is peculiar too- acccoriding to adam smit if transparenmcy rules you cant really come back frok totally destroying your reputation but tyhen clearly som,e people not omnly comeback but rule bey fof having a violent reputation
of cousre data is the most mysterious of ll; whenh I entered my teens you couldn't map that m,ucj of it with a slide ruler and operatir dialled telephones ; today i calcukate some of us have 10**18 more data access - million times from moores law milion times from satellite mobilisation and million times from partnering nvidia's accelerated platforms; this is 75th year since a chnace conversation woth vonm neumann caused my family to believe asking why nit at least 100 times more ehalt and welath for every being with 10*18 more data maping. How do you see these 4 variables?
