Dubai - How megacities are changing the map of the world | Parag Khanna
Gebäude | Informationen | Videos | Emirates | Aussicht
"I want you to reimagine how life is organized on earth," says global strategist Parag Khanna. As our expanding cities grow ever more connected through transportation, energy and communications networks, we evolve from geography to what he calls "connectography." This emerging global network civilization holds the promise of reducing pollution and inequality — and even overcoming geopolitical rivalries. In this talk, Khanna asks us to embrace a new maxim for the future: "Connectivity is destiny."

Less people on our planet, and a 100% transparent system where everybody has the same say/vote. That is my humble wish :) Tnx for making people think :)

Technocracy....'Rising'...Technocrats scare me! just as Huxley 'Brave New World' or zbigniew Brzezinski "Between Two Ages". QUOTE: "“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World *Was this just a dystopian, scientific/technocratic dictatorship fiction? OR was it a 'warning' or prediction of the future...the now? -
Canadians applauding a North American Union? LOL
The US population is 9x larger than that of Canada; its economy is nearly 12x larger. Guess who'll be calling the shots....
(Ask people in the EU how they feel about Germany, even though Germany's share of the EU is big only in relative terms, not absolute terms.) -
investing in networks and pipelines does not deter war necessarily
firstly , country A may invade B should the latter chocked off the network or pipeline - think Iraq
secondly , domestic populist politics may force elected officials to turn inwards - think Trump and Briexit -
china do his best to maintain world peace.

Cool maps though.

Brexit proved he is wrong.

Trump proved he is wrong.

Once again, a TED talk has someone spouting well known facts as if they were profound insights. Is he claiming geopolitical boundaries aren't important? Good luck. Blowhard.

MOST people in Taiwan DO NOT want to reunite with China. (About 85%)
The meeting between Ma and Xi is not Taiwanese expecting.
Taiwan is an independent country and we have NO tendency to reach a reunification. -

Mega cidades levam ao retrocesso económico, atraso e aumento do desemprego, provocando um aumento de assimetrias entre os seus habitantes. Este modelo encontra-se desgastado, devido à revolução energética em curso(o fim da era do petróleo), e ao seu impacto na industria de armamento como elemento chave para o desenvolvimento do resto da sociedade. Já assistimos à passagem do carvão para o petróleo e agora surgem novas alternativas onde o Gás pode mudar a actual concentração populacional, tal como o desenvolvimento da agricultura na Mesopotâmia, sendo o elemento chave da civilização, a água e as terras férteis. Dallas é o exemplo do fracasso das megacidades, devido ao retrocesso económico do sector automóvel e sua transformação, com impacto na sociedade e falência da Câmara de Dallas. Não basta ter acesso a pontos de internet rápidos é necessário um modelo de distribuição de riqueza e o marxismo está de volta, com a crise social da França e o novo código de Trabalho, onde comparo à crise do Maio de 68.

Can we undo Brexit? Please?

Great talk, but Australia has never felt more like a fucking backwater.

I live just outside of dc in Maryland. And there's just complete urbanized city for miles and miles, farther than I've even seen.
