back to middle of 20th c-perhaps it shouldn't be that much of a surprise that it took one of the 2 island nations that most colonised borders up to world war 2 to culturally rollback a higher purpose for uniting peoples
Norman Macrae, having survived teenage navigation of RAF planes bomber command world war 2 over modern-day myanmar/bangladesh, joined The Economist in 1949, and retired as the deputy editor of what he called "the world's favourite viewspaper" in 1988. During that time, he wrote extensively on the future of society and the impact of technology. Norman foresaw species sustainability as being determined by post-colonial and virtual mapmaking- 5G 4G 3G 2G 1G 0G if 60s tech could race to moon and Moore alumni promised 100 times more machine intel every decade TO 2025, let's end poverty mediating/educating a world of loving each others' children- so that wherever the next millennials girl is born she enjoys great chance to thrive.
Soon Norman was celebrating his wartime enemy's rising engineers and win-win sme supply chains across far east and very concerned that tod down constitutions english speaking nations led by political bureaucrats wasn't fit for entrepreneurial revolution-he co-opted a young romani prodi to translate Economist 1976 ER survey into multilingual formats
Amongst some of his more outlandish claims: that governments would not only reverse the nationalisation process and denationalise formerly private industries, but would also sell industries and services that had been state operated for so long that it seemed impossible that they could be run by private companies. A pioneer before the pioneers, Macrae imagined privatised and competing telecommunications and utility companies improving service levels and reducing prices.
When others saw arms build-ups as heralding World War III, Macrae predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall by the end of the 1980's.

| Saving the Internet—and all the commons it makes The ninth and worst enclosure isthe one inside our heads. Because, if we think the Internet is something we use by grace of Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google and “providers” such as phone and cable companies, we’re only helping all those companies contain the Internet’s usefulness inside their walled gardens.

we suffer by not understanding common pool resources such as the atmosphere, the oceans, and the Earth itself.
time for vcs of notre dame and unc to resign -governors of their states too
both pr'd to death how brilliant their prep for real universities during covid year- both failed totally after 3 days
UNC-Chapel Hill featured on 60 Minutes
CBS News featured chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz, PhD, UNC School of Medicine professor Myron Cohen, MD, and UNC-Chapel Hill student body president Reeves Moseley in a segment about universities making plans for the fall semester during the COVID-19 pandemic.
UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz, PhD, student body president Reeves Moseley, and UNC School of Medicine's Myron Cohen, Director of the UNC Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases were featured in a 60 Minutes episode about universities across the country making plans for an uncertain fall due to COVID-19.
Or so read the editorial from the student journalists at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who delivered a scathing condemnation of administrators' refusal to heed instructors' and health officials' warnings that reopening the campus this fall would undoubtedly facilitate the spread of the coronavirus.
Warning signs abounded long before the state's flagship resumed in-person classes on Aug. 10, being one of the first U.S. colleges to do so before abruptly flipping to online courses this week.
In early July, the number of new cases the county health department identified reached record highs of 38 per day.The stunning increase was particularly acute among people in the typical college age range,and some student-athletes and sports staff were testing positive for the virus before the academic year began. Reports of bar activity and parties near the UNC-Chapel Hill campus were rampant, prompting rebukes from school officials.
The aforementioned trends culminated in the health department last month imploring the university to start the year online and reevaluate the possibility of face-to-face classes after five weeks.
UNC-Chapel Hill didn't take that advice. Local media reported that Provost Bob Blouinsaid he felt administrators were addressing the department's concerns "in spirit."
Faculty pushed back too. In an extraordinary public knock against their university's approach, 30 tenured professors wrote a newspaper op-ed last month entreating students to remain home if they were able.
Their concerns were well-founded. In the first week of classes, UNC-Chapel Hill detected at least 130 positive coronavirus cases among students and five among employees. Because asymptomatic people can spread the pathogen and UNC-Chapel Hill is not testing widely for it, the figures are almost assuredly an undercount.
So most everyone on the Chapel Hill campus — and those outside of it — had reason to predict what was coming.
And yet university executives pressed forward, until Aug. 17, when they announced that the spike of positive cases on campus would force them to pivot classes online.

notre dame is so pathetic blaming off campus parties- you couldnt prep prevention of number 1 cause of contagion - you claim close partnership with us number 1 infectious disease experts farmer/kim- how dare you bring franciscan and medical work into disrepute-its not obvious your university shpuld ever be trusted again for anything

hi i wanted to check some latin american viewpoints at the start of the year- there have been 2 great for me latin american economists speaking at the untad summer school sponsored by soros scholar movement he headquartered in new york after subprime caused him to encourage students to rexamine economics- i wondered if you or your teams have know either of them- 1 argentinian maria vernengo actually working at bucknell university in utah- he said there is one urgent chance for central banks to take out huge debt if they have something their peoples need or can most agree on producing, innovating- he clarified that the washington consensus tries to suppress such moves but it is time latin america united around such moves-
