Diaries of refugees fascinate us wherever they clarify which maps humans trade round are 

above zero sum- eg systems designed by mathematicians- we can all agree arabian numerals are better than Roman MCXLVI for computing, Unfortunately refugeed can be defined as being in places where below zeo sum trading turns into wars,

If there is a silver lining it is that (mainly  jewish) refugees from 20th C world wards became the GOATS of msths and emigrated from Swiss corrodor born 1865 (actually HAGS - hungsry auustria getrmany swiss) 

From 1951 Von Neumann on behalf of Goats asked Scottsh Diaspora members of my family and The Economist to diarise the most valuable refugee scoop of all- what good can humans unite with 100 times more tech every decade- our diaries call 2nd half of 20th c the tele2 ers; 

within 5 years of Von Neumann's death The Economist was regularly reporting leaps from 5 hi-tech vcorroidors and their intersections for the good of 20% Atlantic people, 70% Pacifica, and the 10% ot 100% who might most need to be concerned with the arcic circles or the equator where mostknown  energy resources map

neumsnn ws psrtivulrly concerned with 80 years 2025-1945- in other words how tele2 revolved into what those who value UN goals now call web1-2-3. His networks had seen the 80 years 1945 to 1865 spiral into 2 world wars dominated by 7 western empires plus Japan (the G8). If with the birth of the UN there was to be an orer of magnitide more tech per decade than the tele1 era- would the expoential consequences for the human race by 2025 would be either much better or much worse than world wars?
