Kennedy celebrated challenges of world class engineers Neumann-Einstein-Turing gifted - eg 1960s satellite and moon race; unlike most Harvard grads of his era - he understood Keynes last chapter of general theory money interest employment; he started worldwide peace corps; he sought maps of interdependence - ich bin ein berliner; he had served asa pacific world war 2 (big picture 65% of humans being asia how would their family's development be integrated into view of americans or the west; kennedy knew that Stalin's networks were the great danger to all- in all probability our species depended on outlasting however long stalin madness trapped ordinary peoples including Russians
OXFORD UNION DEBATE: MOTION IF kennedy had lived to 1969 he would have moved america into a different
orbit- starting to reduce the acceleration in arms spends and launching many
more 10000 youth moon races' hubs so that moores laws 5G 4G ..1G 0G
(2020s-1970s) could be the bridge between sustainable future worlds for every
next child born and history's past worlds of mercantile colonization by big
empires and over-carbonised consumption of disposable things. Kennedy was the
last us president (world leader trusted) to map the future history of a decade
of opportunities and trades in a way that spun optimistic and truth seeking
media rather than pessimistic and partially fake media.
- 60 years since JFK asked The FED to study miracles of Japanese human development
- 260 years since smith and watt asked engineers to explore moral sentiments of age of humans and machines: now 4 industrial revolutions in one decade for livesmatter transformations
- 13 years since scots helped launch the nearly free nursing college as 70th birthday wish of muhammad yunus
- 63 years since graduation of glasgow university's greatest goal 1 alumni - fazle abed
- about 20 years since arizona state faced the tough problem - it had built desert cities by syphoning off waters from native american lands - could climate crisis stimulate asu to partner with any other universities wanting to be a coallition of america's new univeristies of ai for climate
Can you spare a few minutes (way
beyond any political segregation of ideologies) TO consider how one incident
- assassination of kennedy or indeed america's decade of assassination
of optimistic white and black americans - put america into different world orbits
than those previously agreed at the founding of the united nations. When lawyers
and this who rule the peoples dont have any way to reflect on a decade for
decision crossroads before rushing into
a decade of 100 times moore technology, they lose the chance for a nations
youth's dreams to advance missions previously impossible in their parents and
grandparents generations. Education continues to examine precisely wrong “fact”
instead of the vaguely right clues entrepreneurs need and open space facilitation
supports leaps beyond old failing systems in which everyone is trapped by the same
conflict barrier
Ackoff : by definition a broken systems
(of human relationships) is one in which the harder old professions works the
more failures they cause

In 1964 Tokyo hosted the olympics
-the first to be satellite broadcast live to a global audience.
Prince Charles attended - he was
amazed to see how far japan was ahead on electronics (specifically the sony tv
that had been uninstalled in the british embassy). He asked akio morita of sony
to some and inwardly invest in wales. Japan had been the big asian enemy of the
western allies in world war 2
- so hypothesis 1 charles was
innovating the greatest world trade leap the old world had ever seen.
To explore this hypotheris we need
to ask what were the root causes of world war 2. There were at least 3:
1 To get rid of a tyrant leader eg
hitler ruling a nation germany and attempting to rule the world
2 How mainly 2 island nations has
designed industrial revolution trade around the old world to their benefit
-exponentially trapping most of the peoples across the continents of africa and
asia in ever greater poverty. Remember its was actually a british slogan - rule
britannia ,britannia rules the waves britons never never never shall be slaves.
Implying organsing slave trade was core to growing leading industrial economies
3 The nations that started the
world wars inside the european continent were the ones whose people had the
skills and needs to grow engineering but not enough cola iron etc. Because they
didnt have mercantile empires with which to extract natural resources ,
they needed to take from their geograpihical neighbors
IF KENNERY HAD LIVED TO 1964
America had twice save the old
world. So a president like kennedy had the goodwill and the knowhow of everyone
who had signed up for the united nations plan of 1945- basically this had 2
first phases:
relaunch the G7 empires that agreed
to redesign the future (Russia being the odd empire out that did not agree due
to stalin being as tyrannical as Hitler)
as soon as the world economy was on
the rise again go post colonial - celebrating every way in which other places
could join in win-win trades.
Kennedy's branding of the moon race
as a mission possible of the 1960s also inspired optimistic chat around the world
- we are at dawn of a new age of no mission impossible. We need to understand
while all this was going on, opportunities to join in were very unequally
distributed. At least half the people in Eurasia and Africa had no access to
electricity grids as one of the essentials of participating in developed economies.
In effect Kemnedy was the last
world leader to be in linkedin to every advance for humanity . If he had joined
Prince Charles and the Japa Emperor in 1964, would he have concluded that Japan
and the win-win spread of its new engineering wealth across islands all the way
south - taiwan hong kong to singapore as well as the southern peninsular of
korea was the start of the 6/10 humans who are asian rising.
In other words united nations was
ready for phase 2 and america could get back to challenges of developing the content americas
north south jncluding cultural inequalities between white black and latin and
making sure drugs don’t ruin the continent
2) usa could meet with the 4 european G8
france italy germany UK and ask them to share more responsibility for
outlasting stalin.
In other words all sorts of moon
races on earth could match the needs of mapping new world of trade going ;post
colonial as well as post industrial - maximising win-win trades between
nations- celebrating a world service media that started connecting health without
borders and the 6 most basic development goals:
health security food and water
security access t livelihood education gender equality - ending poverty (ie the
greatest earth race of all so that wherever next girl born she had a good
chance at live because communities and diversity thriving everywhere people
mapped)
,
IF KENNEDY HAD LIVED TO 1969
Arguably the two greatest events of
the 1960s or my lifetime were landing on the moon and the days in 1968 China
gave up any cultuiral or trading empathy with the global model of russian
communism
It wasnt just a small war that
Russia started and lost on one of its borders with china. It was the dawning
recognition that mao' had preferred buying nuclear arms from russia than saving
at least 50 million chinese from starvation. China spent the next 10 years
looking for a partners that would free a fifth of the world’s people to join in
the world economy that they had closed themselves to in the 1860s rather than
accept the then british world trade proposition of accepting opium as a
currency
We believe kennedy would have suggested
to china that its people race to develop a billion out of poverty could be
designed by win-wins with both america and japan. Instead china tried with team
kiissinger but soon found that america was offering maps that failed to include
the biggest opportunity of all japans new engineering - eg bullet trains and
container superports and trade linking in quality supply chinas of small but
expertly focused enterprises which the diaspora chinese were already building
through Taiwan hk and Singapore as was korean’s s penisular .
HIP HIP FOR FUTURISING CHINESE
CAPITALISM _ THE BEST FOR THE HUMAN LOT SINCE ADAM
So it was that china as foreseen in
this
1977 economist survey began the greatest win-win economic growth story
navigating each of schwab's 4 post industrial revolutions - up to 1999 thought
supercity labs, from 1990 getting ready for 2010 and 4g cloud decades to be contintental-
