my father was lucky to meet john neumann- during 12 years that he gave more to the world with maths than any richest man- basically nuumann didnt just father computing but he took all postive advances in first half of 20th century to strt industrial revolutions proming 100 times more tech each decade jfk recognised this opportunity and decalred laning on moon within a decade; so why no more moonshots; it seems that washington public servants gave up on communities with assassinations of both kennedy and evers in 1963; at the same time tv media spun ever more fear an control; abroad the cold war raced with usa rushibg to outbid russia in sponsoring dicaqtors (not a good thing for nations); maddibgly the cia believed that stimulating drug trade between nexico and usa would be a way of controling the next generation; its true that americans had to face the first no-win war vietnam; that nixon hated being opposed by yoth that he p;oisoned puilled college education - it has spiralled to be the biggest debt in usa; and yes oil suddenly went from being too cheap to too expensive
whats cray when you review this is that jf kennedy seconded my fathers survey that it was good bews that asians startinbg with japan taiwan korea were celebrating the comning of servant leader enginners; duribng the colonial era mainky vgritaib had traopped most huamns who are Asian in poverty; we can define the nnovations of von neumann not just as 100 times more tech per decade but round multi-win models instead of teh less than zero sum one that the colonia age of slavery, genocide, and extracting from colinsed nation to benefit the home empire
it is to be hoped that biden will think again - why on erath should the 4% of people who americans try and control the world; and ok if the knowledge being networked helps in sdg races so that millennials are sustainable lets celebrate that lead
