we welcome ideas on zooms june 2020 -10th remembrance of dad norman macrae - chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk
June marks the 10 anniversary of death of my father Norman Macrae The Economist's entrepreneurial revolution and end poverty sub-editor. We are organising a zoom calendar. I have appended a short excerpt of The Economist's remembrance party.
Favorite events after his death-
the Japan Embassy in Dhaka and Open Society Laureate Sir Fazle Abed organised 2 dinner roundtables on the future of university and future of fintech -transforming education and health by 2025 was the core idea of my father and my 2025 report published in 1984 as timelines to sustainability opposite to orwell's end game
Adam Smith scholars held an event at Glasgow U aiming to celebrate bottom up entrepreneurs 250th year of man and machines started by smith and james watt in 1760 - an online catalogue of papers helped me learn a lot!
Dad had survived war as teen navigating raf planes over modernday myanmar- not to every politician's liking, he was always trying to roll back the traps across the old world continent caused primarily by britannia and japan's colonial era- father saw people like Soros and Gorbachev as huge heroes- one of dad's main retirement projects was the biography of John Von Neumann
Optimistic Rationalism is as vital in 2020 as any time in my memory.
sincerely, chris macrae washington dc +1 240 316 8157

which belt road route do your people mpost nmeed to be win-win
route
0 - supercity connections inside china
route -with over half a billion under 30's livelihoods to sustain mainly with collaborative education exchanges with worldwide youth, china cities are fascinating to explore-what's each city's responsibility to poorest regions it connects; whats its trading responsibilities to outside worlds' what social inventions is it a hub for every other city to then replicate- this is the exact opposite of me-too competition between america's big cities and states; no wonder chinese youth invite american youth to join them in celebrating whatever sustainability purpose most excites them and applaud other nations like korea for launching world benchmarking of green big bang- here are some of the ways to value league tables: top tech for all cities; top ;port cities; top charming ecotourist cities for secondary summits and deep alumni (eg city annual summit on ingernet); gateway good-road neigbour cities to ,landlocked countries- eg chengdu for all s asia
1ab sino-south asia (3 billion peoples) routes in more details - see aiib 2018 mumbai and connections with sco-qingdao june; brics southafrica sept
1ac sino-asean routes bad news june new government in malaysia tears ewtp model - see minute 1145 of this video
1b route china hk taiwan koreas japan
route - good news moon jae-in first international summit aiib2017 jeju- jeju governor launches green big bang benchmaking club : 2000 \mayors and governors racing to carbon zero; first olympics co-sponsored by jack ma starts warming between all korean peoples..
1c ne east polar route ib plus east belt russia , alaska , eastern entrance to arctic circles
1d mongolia- central north eusrasia belt
1e china direct routes through russia to nordica and north west polar arctic circle route

2= s asian views of 1ab and 1ac - plus more details of superports eg colombo,gwadar, to 7 oman (see aiib projects), 9 djibouti (gateway to east africa projects), to europe - see belt road5 - greece, turkey , ...
IMAGINEER : where do superports and (roads -including rail, pipes for energy cable water sanitation) need to be so that all [peoples/communities can win-win trade with all other sustainable communities
3= russian imagineering - eg see tufts summit of russian youth barinstorming with other 8 nations youth or arctic circle

sa west europe with med sea coast have much more sustainable friendly views than other euro countries- before 1500, to face the med sea was the happiest national location of all - how did it become the late 20th c sea of refugees/- will brussels/berlin/basle and bad banking and euro's bureaucratic losers of youth's futures take responsibility for this terrible continental mapping- see 7 days briefing of beijing students by romano prodi spring 2017
