    No matter who is in power; the world is losing morality, we are becoming polarised and greed is the new superpower.

    " It used to be just nature and nurture determining our identities , now its nature, nurture & Algorithms " Well said !!
  • @Gr33nsurfer
    "Question the algorithm" is a very important thought as it forms your "bubble" and most of the information you will get access to. Therefore independent media is still important and even more today than before.
  • We are getting to the point where we can’t trust ANYTHING we see online anymore. Words, pictures or videos. Very, very scary!!

    "...The US increasingly didnt want to be the world's policeman, or the architect of global trade, or even the cheerleader for global values..." said without even a hint of irony! Amazing!

    Summary: Bremmer argues that we now live in a leaderless world, but he predicts that the future will consist of three overlapping orders a unipolar security order dominated by the US, a multipolar economic order with various influential players, and a digital order shaped by technology companies.

    May our footsteps write the story, Of resilience that makes us grow. And may every dawn be glory, For the country that never ceased to believe
  • @InQieGaming
    Yoo.. this is actually a really good topic to discuss in TedTalk. Bravo Ian!

    There was one incident in Bangalore, India, where in a man from one community responded by mocking another persons religion as his was mocked by this other person, it all happened on Facebook, soon the posts were shared rapidly, one community took major offence and burnt down an entire police station because of all this, that is what social media can do
  • @user-ww6tc3kn9f
    Powerful sharing. This leads us to go back and reflect on many things as youths...
  • @rustworker
    Even before technology, multi-nationals were separate uncontrollable power. Tech has made that stronger.

  • BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.
  • @cristianebrazil32
    "But today, our identities are determined by nature and nurture... and algorithm". Powerful and scary.
  • @rahuljawale
    This point was very well presented in the film, "Don't look up". I don't want to spoil the film for those who haven't watched it already, but it does hit close the current reality.
